Summary:Described is a construction for effectively thermally insulating and sealing of a safing slot (1) between a floor (5) of a building and an exterior wall construction (2) wherein the exterior wall construction (2) comprises a curtain wall (2) configuration utilizing an interior panel (4) module design. The Thermal insulating and sealing means includes a supplemental insulation means (11) positioned above the primary insulation means (7) and attached to the interior panel (4) of a curtain wall construction (2) to maintain thermally insulating and sealing of the safing slot (1) during exposure to fire and heat which can cause the interior panel (4) to deform from heat distorting to an extent beyond the capability of standard safing insulation (7) for expanding in order to maintain a proper seal extending across the safing slot (1).
