Insulation Services Photo Album: Attic Pull Down Stairs and Scuttle Hole in Englishtown, NJ

We all need an entrance to access any attic. The problem is that when closed, they leak a lot of air. Remember that is air you paid for venting in and out of the attic. Essentially what happens is air gets lost while venting through the attics hatch and scuttles seams. Our team helped a homeowner in Englishtown, NJ by air sealing the seams of the attics hatch and scuttles with our orange ZypFoam sealant. We installed our David Lewis Hatch Cover on top of the pull down stairs. Our team framed out the David Lewis Cover with some weather strip to complete the hatch cover. We improvised with the scuttle cover and weren’t able to use our David Lewis Scuttle Cover because of a pipe blocking the entrance. What we did was used sheetrock and our SilverGlo foam insulation panels to cover the scuttle hole. Our customer now enjoys leaky free attic entrances and less air being lost means a cheaper fuel and electric bill.
