1. A system, comprising:
a thermal isolator configured to be coupled to an inner wall of a wall system, wherein the thermal isolator comprises an isolator body spanning along a first axis between an isolator outer surface and an isolator inner surface and along a second axis between an isolator first side and an isolator second side, and a first coupling recess disposed through the isolator outer surface and into the isolator body, wherein the first coupling recess comprises a recess shape, wherein the first axis and the second axis are substantially perpendicular;
a first retainer comprising a first coupling protrusion having a first protrusion shape that is complementary to the recess shape, wherein the first retainer is configured to be coupled to the thermal isolator by the first coupling protrusion being disposed in the first coupling recess of the thermal isolator; and
a sub-framing system comprising a foundation portion coupled to the thermal isolator by the first retainer and an extension portion extending away from the isolator outer surface,
wherein the first retainer spans along the isolator outer surface to couple the foundation portion of the sub-framing system to the isolator outer surface, and wherein a second retainer extends outwardly from the isolator outer surface and is configured to at least one of contact or support the extension portion of the sub-framing system.
