Insulation retaining clips are small metal or plastic components that are used to secure insulation materials to walls, floors, and ceilings. They are typically designed to hold insulation batts or rolls in place, preventing them from sagging or falling out of position. Insulation retaining clips are available in a variety of sizes and shapes, with some featuring barbs or teeth that grip the insulation material securely. They are typically installed by pressing them into the insulation material at regular intervals along the wall or ceiling. Proper installation of insulation retaining clips is important for ensuring that the insulation material remains in place and provides the necessary thermal and acoustic performance. If the insulation material is not held securely in place, it can become compressed or displaced over time, reducing its effectiveness and potentially leading to energy loss and increased heating or cooling costs. Insulation retaining clips are commonly used in residential and commercial buildings, particularly in wall and ceiling applications. They are typically installed during the construction phase, but can also be retrofitted to existing structures to improve insulation performance.
