Abstract: A procedure for lining spaces with high temperatures, in which the surfaces of the space are lined with fibrous lining material in which the fibers are mainly parallel with planes at right angles against the surface of the space. In the procedure, loose, separate, plate-like fiber strips (1) are used which are disposed side-by-side relative to each other in an installation position to form a transport/application package (2). A fixing compound (3) is applied as a layer upon the edges of the side-by-side strips advantageously over the whole area of one strip layer (4) of the transport/application package. From the package is taken a suitable bunch of strips treated with fixing compound, this bunch being pressed onto the surface of the space at the point of installation and compressed to suitable compactness.

Abstract: A lining element for heat treatment furnaces comprises lining material consisting of insulating material, an elongate supporting element for transversely piercing the lining material, and elongate fastening members for attachment of the element to the interior furnace wall provided at both ends of the supporting element. The free ends of the fastening members are provided with projections extending transversely to the longitudinal direction of the fastening members at the height of a planar interior surface of the element, which surface will be closest to the interior furnace wall.
