An improved insulation system is used to insulate the roof of a metal building. The insulation system includes insulating boards which are suspended beneath roof panels by flexible sheets of material. The flexible sheets are attached to structural members, that is, to purlins beneath the roof panels. The flexible sheets have a width which is greater than the width of the insulating boards so that longitudinally extending edge portions of the sheets project outwardly from the edges of the insulating boards. The edge portions of the sheets are connected with the purlins at locations above the insulating boards so that the flexible sheets hang downwardly to suspend the insulating boards beneath the roof panels without compressing the insulating boards.

An insulation system for use in a building having a plurality of roof panels connected with longitudinally extending structural members, said insulation system comprising a body of insulating material, an elongated flexible sheet means forming a vapor barrier, said flexible sheet means having a central portion for supporting said body of insulating material beneath a roof panel and having first and second longitudinally extending edge portions projecting outwardly from opposite longitudinal edges of said body of insulating material for distances which are greater than the thickness of the body of insulating material, and connector means for releasably connecting the first and second edge portions of said flexible sheet means with a pair of adjacent structural members to thereby adjustably suspend said body of insulating material beneath a roof panel.
