Abstract: The present invention provides a heat-insulating structure using a fluff-like heat-insulating material such as cellulose insulation fibers, capable of allowing convenient handling and preventing a so-called settling-down phenomenon in which the top of the heat-insulating material will settle down with time. The heat-insulating structure comprises a plurality of strap-shaped partition members 2 arranged to define an array of heat-insulating segments therebetween, and cellulose insulation fibers filled in each of the heat-insulating segments. A surface member 3 such as an underlying member or a facing member may be adhesively attached to the exposed surface of the interleaved structure of the partition members and the heat-insulating segments filled with the cellulose insulation fibers to provide a discrete heat-insulating panel.
