Abstract: A construction element adapted particularly for use in the securement of insulation batts or boards between framing or studding members is disclosed. The element has a generally U-shape and comprises an elongate central body section of a length to be received between two adjacent stud members of standard spacing without deformation. The ends of the body section are angled with respect to the body section providing lateral arms of a length less than the depth of the stud members, and pointed flanges extend from the lateral arms for driving penetration into the studs.
