METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR PLACING LOOSE-FILL OR FOAM-IN-PLACE INSULATION IN FRAMED WALLS DURING CONSTRUCTION - Ian M. Platts - Image ABSTRACT A method and apparatus is disclosed for placing loose-fill or foam-in-place insulation in the cavities of framed walls or like constructions prior to applying the interior finish. The moveable formwork apparatus makes use of the wall's plastic film vapour barrier as an integral part of the formwork; where a vapour barrier is not required, the film may be used movably with the apparatus. The apparatus holds the film onto and slightly around the wall's vertical frames so as to draw the film tight and prevent it from bulging through the plane of the interior finish as the insulation is installed, while also preventing the intrusion and lodging of insulation between film and framing; these attributes are critical in allowing the interior finish to be applied readily and normally. A rigid, transparent plate can be hung in place to support the film where conditions might otherwise result in excessive bulging of the film. The apparatus fits crooked studs at regular or irregular spacing, is not interfered with by protruding elements such as electrical outlets or window sills, provides space for insulation and manipuladon of insulation by pumping, blowing, injecting or other means, allows air displacement from the cavities while inhibiting dust transfer, and allows visual and mechanical checking of insulation completeness and quality before moving the apparatus to the next cavities. -10 Claims, 4 Drawing Sheets -
