Abstract:
An insulated wall for a mobile platform is formed from at least two layers. A first layer includes an insulation material. A second layer includes a flexible material having an outer face with a decorative pattern and an inner face attached to the first layer. The wall is mounted in the mobile platform with the outer face of the second layer having the decorative pattern forming a mobile platform innermost facing surface. By attaching a flexible material layer to the insulation material, the insulated wall can be formed into rolls and rolled out during installation in a single step. In another embodiment, fasteners are preinstalled in the wall for fastening the wall to the mobile platform. In yet another embodiment, a method for insulating a compartment of a mobile platform is provided.
