Challenge

A homeowner in Point Pleasant, NJ had a leaky attic hatch with pull down stairs. When the attic hatch is not insulated properly it can create drafts, uncomfortable rooms, and higher energy bills. In short air the owner is paying for is being ventilated and lost through the attic.

Solution

To solve this issue properly we have to air seal and insulate the attic. Once our team of experts finishes insulating the attic we will use our orange ZypFoam sealant to seal the seams of the attic hatch. Made of lightweight SilverGlo foam insulation our David Lewis Hatch Cover rests right over the pull down stairs. Finally we air sealed the seams of the SilverGlo insulation with our ZypFoam sealant and installed weather stripping to the floor of the attic alongside the hatch cover.

This homeowner now has an attic hatch with pull down stairs that is now properly insulated.
