SmartATTIC - 25"x54"x11" Attic Door Insulation Cover, R-15 - Pure Aluminum

This attic entrance cover fit perfectly in my attic entrance. It was very easy to install using a staple gun. Zipper works well for opening/closing. Cover feels durable during installation and appears it will hold up well with use.

I installed this at the top of my drop down stairs. I watched some youtube videos and tutorials first. After stapling it in place and then zipping it shut, I felt the difference IMMEDIATLY. I went from being chilly to sweating because the draft stopped.My upstairs furnace went from regular days of 10 hours running last year to 3-4 hours when it was 20 degrees outside.This has been a fantastic and inexpensive change.

Our house was built in 1970. I ordered this without measuring the opening in the ceiling. Evidently this must be a standard size because it fit exactly. In fact, I was amazed at the ease of installation. Very easy to install with a staple gun. The quality of the material and zippers seems sturdy. It seems like it will last. The thermostat is at the end of the same hallway, so I'm looking forward to the heat and a/c running less.

It is easy to install and surely has made a difference. How much, it’s really hard to say. I can’t say it’s knocked 10% off my bill, but the area around the attic door seems a little warmer, although it has yet to get really cold. I would say blown-in insulation is probably more important, but this is an easy DIY project.

This insulation cover was very easy to install, took me maybe 5 minutes. I got it lined up in place then put a staple in the front opening then the back side. I then just went around the perimeter and put in a staple every 2" or so. I live in south Louisiana where is has been 103 degrees this summer. I used an infrared thermometer gun to take the temperature around the seam of the attic door where it hits the ceiling. The temperature was 95 degree at 2 pm in the afternoon. After the insulation cover was installed, I took the temperature again the next day around the attic door seam and the temperature was 80 degrees. When I open the attic door now, there is no noticeable temperature difference where as before there was a gust of hot air hitting me in the face. To get in the attic, I just unzip the cover and climb into the attic. I would buy this again.
