A method and a clip system for installing insulation on the purlins of a sheet metal roof construction is disclosed. The clip is of one-piece resilient construction and of a shape to be snapped over a portion of an insulating blanket and the upper portion of a roof purlin to snugly clamp the engaged portion of the blanket against the top and upper opposite sides of the purlin. The blanket is thus contained by the clips below the tops of the purlins so that a pocket suitable for the reception of an unfaced batt of insulating material is formed in the top of the blanket between adjacent purlins. The top of the clip may be provided with suitable means, such as adhesive or projecting barbs, for positively retaining a board of insulating material such as that sold under the trademark, above each purlin and retaining the board against movement during the assembly of overlying roof panels.

In a standing seam roof construction including a plurality of elongate parallel purlins, each having a vertical web and a horizontal top web projecting from one side of said vertical web at the upper edge thereof, standing seam roof panels supported by the purlins in overlying relationship therewith

In a standing seam roof construction including a plurality of elongate parallel purlins, each having a vertical web and a horizontal top web projecting from one side of said vertical web at the upper edge thereof, standing seam roof panels supported by the purlins in overlying relationship therewith, a continuous blanket of deformable, squeezable insulating material spanning a plurality of said purlins and overlying and supported by said purlins; resilient generally inversely U-shaped clips for securing said blanket in overlying relation to said purlins, each clip comprising a horizontal top web section integrally joined at one end to a vertical web section and integrally joined at its other end to a downwardly directed web portion connected with a web loop portion having an upwardly directed web section and then a downwardly directed web section to resiliently enclose the upper portion of the purlin, the web sections of each clip being dimensioned relative to the webs of a purlin such that a blanket of said insulating material overlying a purlin is compressed against the top web of the purlin, and turned reversely by said loop portion, while being pressed against the vertical web of said purlin by the respective top and vertical web sections of said clip to clamp said blanket in position with the top and vertical web sections respectively of the clip opposed to and embracing the top and vertical webs of said purlin; said clips being installed along each of said purlins whereby the blanket in its extent between adjacent purlins is deformed below the tops of the purlins to form pockets between the purlins suitable for the reception of additional insulating material.
