attic stairway Insulator
The attic door insulation is the largest gap in home insulation, increasing heat loss in the winter and heat gain in the summer. That’s why you should get a Draft Cap!
Made of durable dust-free expanded polystyrene foam, the draft cap will reduce heat loss and heat gain and help you save on your heating and cooling bills. Lightweight and easily installed in less than 5 minutes, the draft cap attic staircase insulator satisfies all current energy building codes for insulation over the attic access panel with an R-value of +11.

How Can Lehigh Valley Homeowners Reduce Heat Loss During Pennsylvania Winters?
Winter temperatures throughout the Lehigh Valley can place significant demands on residential heating systems. Homeowners in Bethlehem, Easton, Northampton, and nearby communities often experience freezing temperatures, cold winds, and extended periods when their heating systems must operate regularly to maintain comfortable indoor conditions.
One of the most important areas to evaluate is the attic. When insulation is insufficient, heat can move through the ceiling and roof assembly, increasing heating demands. Air leaks around attic access panels, ceiling penetrations, and other openings may also allow warm indoor air to escape. Addressing these conditions can help reduce heat loss and improve temperature consistency throughout the home.
