Abstract
A method is provided for closing out the edges of a flexible ceramic insulation member including inner and outer mold line covering layers.

In one embodiment wherein the covering layers comprise fabrics, the outer fabric is bonded to the top surface and to a grooved portion of the side surface of the frame. In another embodiment wherein the outer cover layer comprises a metallic foil, clips on the edges of the frame are used to engage foil extensions. The ceramic frame is coated with a high emittance densifier coating.
