What Is An Attic Door Insulator?
Conserving energy and saving money on energy bills is foremost in the minds of homeowners today. One area that is virtually ignored when it comes to escaping heat and air in the home is the attic door. Home improvement gurus recommend that you insulate your attic door to cut down on the loss of heat and air in the home. Attic Door Insulator products are the best way to easily insulate your attic door and save money on your energy bills.
Since seeping air is one of the biggest issues for higher electric bills it makes sense to insulate, cover and use weatherstripping on those seeping areas. The attic hatch in your home is a seeping area. Without an Attic Door Insulator of some kind covering it a lot of air seepage occurs resulting in those large energy bills you don't look forward to getting.
An Attic Door Insulator is a tent like covering that covers the area over the attic hatch where most of the air escapes from inside your home into the attic area. These covers typically consist of radiant material for the outside of the cover to reflect heat. The inside cover contains insulation of some kind like fiberglass. R-50 is the best for this application. Weatherstripping is then used all the way around the hatch cover to seal even the smallest cavity that might allow air seepage. They are very easy to install and they are very effective solutions for keeping your home cooler or warmer (depending on the time of year) and for saving money. The one thing to remember when installing this type of attic hatch insulator is to make sure not to block the hinges so you can get into the attic. You should be able to simply lift the cover and enter the attic with no problem.
