Insulation assemblies provide reduced heat loss from electrolytic metal production cells such as inert anode aluminum production cells. The insulati on assemblies (20, 24) may be located at the end, side (5, 6) and/or center (9) aisles of the cell, and may be supported by the anodes (12) and deckplate (1 0) of the cell. The assemblies reduce heat loss and bath vaporization losses, a nd permit stable operation of the inert anode cell.
