Abstract
A thermal insulating blanket for insulating a surface from extreme external temperatures. The blanket includes ceramic fiber batting that insulates the surface from the external temperatures, a frame for supporting the ceramic fiber batting and preventing the ceramic fiber batting from sagging, and a ceramic fabric cover enclosing the ceramic fiber batting and the frame. The ceramic fabric cover defines a first side of the blanket facing externally, and a second side opposite the first side and facing the surface. The blanket also includes a low profile fastener for coupling the blanket to the surface. The fastener is coupled and decoupled from the surface by applying pressure to the first side of the blanket proximate the fastener.
