Abstract
A thermal bridge-free insulation assembly may include hangers to support insulation in an attic. The hanger may include an axis, a proximal end coupled to a rafter, and a distal end coupled to a barrier. The hanger also may include at least two components that are axially movable relative to each other to selectively adjust a depth of an insulation space.
Claims10
A hanger for supporting insulation in an attic having a roof deck, and a rafter supporting the roof deck, the hanger comprising:
- an axis, a proximal end configured to be coupled to the rafter, a distal end configured to be coupled to a barrier, an insulation space defined between the proximal and distal ends, the hanger comprising a bracket configured to be coupled to a side of the rafter and having a groove extending axially along an entire length of the bracket and further having a slot, and a strut configured to be coupled directly to the rafter at the proximal end through the slot and coupled to the barrier at the distal end and having a rib extending axially along a length of the strut, wherein the rib of the strut seats in and slides axially within the groove of the bracket, such that the bracket and the strut are slidably engaged and axially movable relative to each other to selectively adjust a depth of the insulation space.
