An insulating assembly includes a radiant barrier supported on a material and a magnet located on a side of the radiant barrier opposite the material to magnetically secure the radiant barrier to the material. Related methods of installing insulation and insulation installation apparatuses are also described.

Air flow is reduced through a structure insulated with one more layers of fiber wool or particulate insulating material. A layer of a foamed fluid polymeric composition is applied onto the exposed surface of the insulation to cover the edges at which the exposed surface of the insulation meets an enclosing member of the structure. The layer is then cured to form a polymeric coating on the exposed surface of the insulation. The coating seals the edge or edges at which the exposed surface of the insulation meets the enclosing members of the structure.

The present disclosure concerns a flexible thermal insulation assembly to thermally insulate matter from an external environment, the flexible thermal insulation assembly comprising a plurality of thermal insulation covering sections comprising an outer layer and an insulated matter-facing layer, the plurality of thermal insulation covering sections being configurable in an adjacent configuration wherein the plurality of thermal insulation covering sections are articulately connected to one another to substantially conform to an outer surface of the insulated matter; and an insulated matter-mounting assembly securing the plurality of thermal insulation covering sections onto the insulated matter with the insulated matter-facing layers of the plurality of thermal insulation covering sections at least partially covering the insulated matter and substantially conforming thereto. The present disclosure also concerns a method for thermally insulating matter, such as a snow heap, from an external environment.

Disclosed in the present invention is a structure for blocking heat transfer through a thermal bridge of a curtain wall building, including a curtain wall, an indoor metal frame, an outdoor metal frame and/or metal components, wherein: an integral thermal break strip, which is installed close to an outside and made of an aerogel thermal insulation blanket, is fixed between the indoor metal frame and the curtain wall and/or the outdoor metal frame and/or the metal components. The present invention has simple structure, convenient construction technology, great structural strength, excellent fireproof performance; low comprehensive construction cost and substantially improved energy-saving effect of the curtain wall.
