Attic Tent

Attic Tent: The energy-saving attic access insulator

After we install Icynene LD-R-50™ into your home, it is a good idea to seal all openings to the attic. We have found an innovative way to do just that. The Attic Tent is a specially engineered, patented insulator designed to create an air transfer barrier between your attic and living areas. It is a practical and economical solution to a problem that has existed since homes were first built with overhead attic entries. That problem is wasted energy through and around the attic door and stairs.

Through the years, homeowners who have been aware of this air transfer/loss have attempted to remedy it by placing insulation around the attic door opening. Unfortunately, this technique doesn't provide an air tight barrier, therefore, little reduction in the amount of air loss is achieved.

The engineers at InsulSure™ attempted to solve the problem of attic stair air transfer/loss from the perspective of the homeowner. Hence, they designed a product that not only significantly reduces air loss, thus lowering your energy bill, but also provides easy accessibility into your attic. The Attic Tent is designed with non-corrosive, heavy-duty zippers that allow easy access to the attic while keeping insulation off your floors.

Reduce air transfer by at least 71% with Attic Tent

Using thermal imaging, the benefits of installing The Attic Tent are immediately apparent. The Attic Tent has been proven to reduce air transfer by at least 71%. This results in less energy being used to heat or cool your living area because less is being lost into the attic. The Attic Tent should pay for itself in one year!
