Blown insulation apparatus and method

An insulation system for installing blown-insulation in a framed construction assembly having an array of periodically placed and parallel metal C-stud framing members mechanically fastened to at least one perpendicular second framing member and a panel member fastened in a first plane to said C-stud framing members and second framing members thereby defining a generally rectangular volume to be filled with blown-insulation, the insulation system comprising:

• a generally rectangular masking screen configured to be affixed upon exposed faces of the parallel first framing members in a second vertical plane opposite and parallel the panel member, wherein the masking screen is mechanically fastened to the exposed faces of the C-stud framing members with a linear segment of a friction clip track configured from a shaped planar web, the friction clip track having a length selected to match the length of the C-stud framing members and a width selected to accommodate the exposed face of the parallel C-stud framing members, wherein the shaped friction clip track further comprises a first flange depending from the web, the first flange having an inwardly angled return configured for frictionally engaging the masking screen to one closed side of the C-stud framing member and a second flange and second return configured for mechanically engaging the open-side interior of the metal C-stud framing member for frictionally securing the masking screen;
• thereby securing the masking screen between the parallel framing member and thereby providing a generally parallelepiped volume to receive blown-insulation.

An insulation system for installing blown-insulation in a framed construction assembly having an array of periodically placed and parallel I-beam framing members mechanically fastened to a plurality of perpendicular second framing members and a panel member fastened in a first plane to said I-beam framing members and second framing members thereby defining a generally rectangular volume to be filled with blown-insulation, the insulation system comprising:

• a generally rectangular masking screen configured to be affixed upon exposed faces of the parallel I-beam framing members in a second vertical plane opposite and parallel the panel member, wherein the masking screen is mechanically fastened to the exposed faces of the I-beam framing members with a linear segment of a friction clip track configured from a shaped planar web, the friction clip track having a length selected to match the length of the I-beam framing members and a width selected to accommodate the exposed face of the parallel I-beam framing members, wherein the shaped friction clip track further comprises a pair of opposite flanges depending from the web, the flanges each having an inwardly angled return configured for frictionally engaging the masking screen to each opposite flange side of the I-beam framing member;
• thereby securing the masking screen between the parallel framing member and thereby providing a generally parallelepiped volume to receive blown-insulation.
