<p>A wall (60) is insulated by fastening panels (50, 52) to the wall using a plurality of ties (10). Each tie has a plate (20) and vertically extending planar members (12, 14). A track (62) is fixed along the base of the wall. A first row of panels (64) is horizontally abutted to one another, atop the track. Downwardly extending planar members of a plurality of ties are inserted into the first row panels at spaced intervals along the first row. The ties' plates are fastened to the wall. A second row of panels is then horizontally abutted to one another, atop the first row, by inserting upwardly extending planar members of the ties into the second row panels at spaced intervals along the first and second rows. The abutting, inserting and fastening steps are sequentially repeated for further rows of panels until the wall is covered with panels.</p> |
