Attic Tent ATT-at-5 Attic Cover, Silver

Easily installed, perfect fit. Keep the heat from escaping.

Great product

My attic was frosting pretty bad on a cold winter. Tried to figure out why and discovered the amount of heat gushing through the attic ladder hatch. Since I installed it the attic dried out completely. Before I was thinking for improving the attic insulation but actually the real problem was my attic hatch. Never was quite concern over the few extra dollars that Im probably loosing due to heat loss but the moist attic was going to develop a more serious damage to the roof deck over time. This one fixed it. It works as advertised and its relatively easy to use. Its just a zipper.

I simply lined it up around my attic hatch, stapled it in place with 3/8 (10mm) staples. Then used an expanding foam sealant around the inside base to seal it. My thermostat is almost directly below my attic stairs. Previously, it would either run continously, or not at all. I can immediately see an improvement and expect to see lower energy bills as a result.

Good item - easy to install and does a good job sealing off the attic.

Still waiting to see if it will save me heat.

Installed and functions exactly as described... Im very pleased...

When my a/c guy came by recently to give an estimate on some repairs he pointed out that my attic stair ladder was not insulated and that hot air was likely being sucked from the attic and contributing to increased dust in the house and reduced efficiency of the upstairs air conditioner. I’m always wary of the upsell but a quick search of the energy star website indicated that uninsulated attic stairs can be a big source of waste. My a/c guy suggested that I install an attic ladder tent. I ended up with this unit and had it installed today. Measured with an IR gun, the hottest attic temp I can read with the tent closed is now 89 degrees. Before it was 108. Further, with the attic ladder opening fully closed, the air path between the attic ladder opening and a nearby return vent was hovering at 85 degrees. Now that same path is hovering at 75 degrees (same as everywhere else upstairs). In both cases the upstairs air conditioner is set on 73. This seems to indicate that air is no longer being sucked from the attic and the air being pulled into the return is the risen hot air from the room which is pretty much 75 degrees all along the ceiling. I also spray foamed in the cracks where they roughed in the attic stair ladder. I dont know if this is saving me money, but it clearly is reducing the amount of attic air being sucked down and back into my ventilation and thats a great thing. I suspect there are some savings as well. One last thing. The day after I installed this, my wife mentioned that it felt cooler in be hallway. This happens to be the hallway where the attic ladder is hung. I agree, it feels cooler.

Great product, really stops cold and hot air from coming into the house.

Wish we would have installed this years ago. Upstairs humidity has improved. Simple project. We used clear silicone to seal the bottom.
