The attic access door is, typically, one of the largest sources of air leakage in your house. The US Department of Energy states that, without attic door insulation, a gap as small as 1/4 inch around your pull-down attic stairs can leak as much air as is supplied by a regular bedroom air duct. Air sealing and insulating this leak with an attic stairs cover is essential to improving your home's energy efficiency. The PowerJolt Thermal Radiant Hatchway™ Attic Stair Cover is an easy solution to insulate attic stairs while maintaining easy access to your attic. The Hatchway™ attic stair cover will seal and help insulate this vulnerable point in your home's defense against budget-breaking energy loss. This attic door insulation cover is simple to install, requiring only half an hour, and the attic stairway cover will dramatically reduce energy loss while lowering your heating and cooling bills.
The Hatchway™ attic stairwell insulation cover is made up of our highly reflective ARMA FOIL™ radiant barrier bonded to a polyester fiber insulation making this attic access insulation light, thin, and effective. The Hatchway™ insulated attic hatch uses heavy-duty zippers to allow easy access to the attic. The attic access cover provides efficient pull-down attic stair insulation, helping to keep your valuable heated and cooled air in your living space where you want it. As an added benefit, the Hatchway™ attic stair cover thermal barrier also helps keep your house clean and improves your indoor air quality by keeping dust and insulation in the attic where they belong; not on your floors or in your air.

Installation Tips:
-
Stapling: Install the attic opening insulation cover by stapling through the black band to the rough framed opening (usually 2x6's) above the 1x4 stair frame.
-
Orientation: Locating the zipper opening closer to the attic stair hinge will allow for easier attic access.
-
Air Sealing: Apply a bead of foam sealant or caulk between the Cover's walls and the wood framing from the attic side to ensure a good air tight seal.
-
Larger Voids: Use our single component foam sealant to insulate attic stairs by sealing larger gaps and voids between Hatchway™ attic access door insulation and framing members.
