Home Energy Audit Photo Album: Insulating Attic Pull Down Stairs in Eden, MD

Attic pull down steps are necessary to access a homeowner's attic. If these steps are uninsulated it can cause a lot of air leakage. This can result in drafts, cold floors and uncomfortable rooms that are difficult to heat.  Dr. Energy Saver Delmarva's solution to uninsulated attic stairs is the David Lewis Hatch Cover. The David Lewis hatch cover rests over the pull down stairs. It prevents air leakage and helps insulate the attic. It is made of lightweight SilverGlo foam insulation so the homeowner can lift it aside as they go into the attic and set it back in place when they leave. The results are less drafts, more comfortable rooms and lower utilty costs.
