Chances are your pull-down attic stairs are costing you money.
Uninsulated attic hatches are a common spot where heated air escapes into an attic. Owens Corning’s Attic Stairway Insulator makes it easy to stop that heat transfer.
The insulator is a tent made from insulating material and reflective foil that covers the stairway opening. It’s lightweight, so you can just move it aside when you need access to the attic and put it back when you leave.
The product will cover an opening up to 25½ by 54 inches.
It’s available from building supply stores and home centers including Home Depot. You can find a retailer that carries Owens Corning products by using the store locator at http://insulation.owenscorning.com/homeowners, but call the store first to make sure it carries the stairway insulator.
Suggested retail price is $53.95.
