Product Description
Attic Thermalid II is a unique product that is installed over your attic stairs. The cover has a magnetic gasket around the perimeter of the cover that is connected to the cover by pressing darts on the gasket into the cover. Metal strips are caulked to the attic floor (Use any type of Latex caulk, not supplied). The gasket performs the same function as the one on your refrigerator door. Attic Thermalid II seals the attic stairs keeping your conditioned (warmed or cooled) air in your home. The cover fits both 22" x 54" and 25" x 54" stairs. Outside measurements are 32"x 60"x 11". The cover comes in two piece for shipping and is 2 1/4" thick. It is made from poly-stryene, the same material disposable coffee cups are made. The cover is lightweight, easy to install, removes out of the way with nothing to climb through or lift boxes over. It pays for itself in less than a year. Homeowners should measure the height stairs extend above the floor of attic when closed to ensure proper clearance. We believe that the Thermalid II provides the homeowner the best product to stop drafts through your attic stairs for the money. Thermalid Inc. has been serving the public since 1999.Attic Stair Cover Insulating and Magnetically Sealing Your Pull-down Stairs Review
Just installed a new forced-air HVAC system in a circa 1900 boarding house in Maine that we are refurbishing, and had to do something about the heat loss/gain through the attic. Doubled-up on the insulation, installed a solar-power attic exhaust fan, but the HVAC was still running too often. Knowing that the pull-down stairs had to be part of the problem, I researched all the available options before deciding on this one. The simple fiberglass tee-pee wasn' going to cover my stairs, and the tent stuffed full of insulation might stop the heat, but not the air-flow.As simple as this thing is, it is the perfect solution. Sure, a little bulky to ship, but once assembled (you need nothing other than decent latex caulk to assemble and install) and the metal strips secured so that the refrigerator door-style magnet band can make an air-tight seal, I knew this was the answer.
Now that the attic fan no longer pulls the cooled air out of the house, the whole house is measurably cooler, requiring far fewer A/C cycles per day (I monitor closely using internet-connected thermostats). A simple fix that will easily pay for itself in just one winter season (it gets COLD up in Maine, don't you know).
