Slide-in building insulation system

In a building structure including a pair of opposite side walls, a pair of opposite end walls and a roof structure connected to and extending between said side walls and end walls, each wall and roof structure including a plurality of spaced-apart parallel primary structural members and a plurality of secondary structural members connected to and extended between said primary structural members in spaced-apart relation, a system for covering said roof structure and walls, between pairs of adjacent primary structural members comprising:

• an elongated suspension sheet having opposite parallel side edges, said suspension sheet comprising a pair of guide strips and a flexible fabric connected to and extended between said pair of guide strips, said guide strips each being of substantially greater thickness than said flexible fabric, one guide strip being arranged along each side edge of said suspension sheet,
• a first pair of slide tracks secured to said secondary structural members in parallel spaced-apart relation generally parallel to and spaced inwardly between a pair of said primary structural members, said first pair of slide tracks including a right slide track and a left slide track, said right slide track having a guide strip receiving channel and a slit along the length thereof and said left slide track having a guide strip receiving channel and a slit along the length thereof, said slits having a thickness to accommodate passage of said flexible fabric therethrough,
• said suspension sheet supported on and extended along the length of said slide tracks, one guide strip being received within the guide strip receiving channel of said left slide track and the other guide strip being received within said guide strip receiving channel of said right slide track and said flexible fabric extending through the slits in said right and left slide tracks whereby said suspension sheet substantially covers the space between said first pair of slide tracks.

A method of covering one or more walls of a building, said walls including a pair of opposite side walls, a pair of opposite end walls and a roof structure connected to and extending between said side walls and end walls, each wall including a plurality of spaced-apart parallel primary structural members and a plurality of secondary structural members connected to and extended between said primary structural members in spaced-apart relation, said method including:

• providing an elongated suspension sheet having opposite parallel side edges, said suspension sheet comprising a pair of guide strips and a flexible fabric connected to and extended between said pair of guide strips, each guide strip being of substantially greater thickness than said flexible fabric, one guide strip being arranged along each side edge of said suspension sheet,
• providing a first pair of slide tracks including a right slide track and a left slide track, each having a guide strip receiving channel and a slit along the length thereof, said slit having a thickness sufficient to accommodate passage of said flexible fabric therethrough,
• securing said first pair of slide tracks to a plurality of said second structural members in parallel spaced-apart relation and spaced inwardly generally parallel to and between a pair of said primary structural members, and
• installing said suspension sheet onto a wall by inserting the guide strips thereof into said right and left slide tracks, respectively, with said flexible fabric extended through said slide track slits, and sliding said suspension sheet along the length of said slide tracks, thereby covering the space between said first pair of slide tracks.
