A method for quick insulating the interior skin of an airplane. The system includes a new design for the insulating blanket with permeable and impermeable membranes and a blanket “clip” allowing for cable pass-through. The method stabilizes blanket construction method, minimizes moisture retention and promotes a design based provisioning strategy to accommodate system run access to the airplane skin through a simplified interface detail. Both the insulation blanket and the blanket clip attach to the aircraft frame via a “zip-lock” attachment system, which consists of vertical rails with receiving detail to receive the (blanket and clip) zip-lock strips, and a cap strip that covers (and secures) the zip-lock strips. The invention solves the moisture retention and installation time and the quantity of Mylar® used to encapsulate the fiberglass material.
