Abstract
An improved insulation package is provided that is particularly suitable for use on vehicles, such as aircraft. The insulation package includes a liquid impenetrable cover over thermal or acoustical insulation material. In order to facilitate mounting of the insulation package, the cover includes at least one sealed region that can be penetrated with a hole without compromising the waterproofness of the package. The sealed region can be provided along the edge of the insulation material, such as by way of a tab, or can be provided anywhere on the face of the insulation by forming suitable holes in the insulation. Elongated sealed regions can also be provided so as to allow for bending or slitting of the packaged insulation.
