Abstract
An insulation device comprising an inflatable receptacle, a plurality of plates connected to the receptacle and a plurality of spacers connected to the plates. The receptacle is configured to be inflated, once in a desired position within a cavity, with an insulating material. The insulating material is inserted into the receptacle through an insulating material entrance in the receptacle. The spacers have a height H configured to maintain a required air gap within the cavity once the receptacle has been inflated by preventing the inflatable receptacle from inflating to fill the entire cavity.
