Abstract
A support structure for providing a building panel or an insulation support panel over the exterior or interior surfaces of pre-existing walls which includes a thermal insulation member for isolating the outer building panel from the inner building panel. This support structure is particularly usable with insulation which is in pre-formed blocks such as polystyrene rather than insulation which is blown in like polyurethane. A positively engaging mechanical lock mounts the inner support structure with respect to the outer support structure that maintains a complete thermal isolation therebetween. The interlocking device includes two clips adapted to be positively secured to opposite ends of the thermal brake member wherein each of the clips is adapted to be fixedly but detachably secured with respect to the inner and outer wall support structure.
