Insulation support system for metal frame construction and method relating thereto

A method for installing blown-in insulation in metal frame construction, the method comprising the steps of:

• a) providing a metal frame having a plurality of metal members wherein at least two opposing metal members have at least one stamped portion thereof stamped out to protrude on one side and an exterior sheathing attached to an opposing side;
• b) engaging and tensioning an insulation support material on the stamped out protruded portions of the opposing metal members forming a cavity between the exterior sheathing and the insulation support material;
• and
• c) blowing insulation into the cavity.

A method for installing blown-in insulation in steel frame construction, the method comprising the steps of:

• a) providing a steel frame comprising spaced apart steel top and bottom tracks and a plurality of parallel elongate steel studs extending between the top track and the bottom track spaced at intervals along the length of each track, wherein the top track, the bottom track and the elongate studs each have a longitudinal axis and each has at least one portion thereof stamped out to protrude at an angle of about 20 degrees between the protruded portion and the longitudinal axis and an exterior sheathing attached to an opposing side;
• b) hooking and tensioning a nylon net onto the stamped out protruded portions of the steel frame forming a cavity between the exterior sheathing and the nylon net;
• and
• c) blowing insulation into the cavity.
