Attic Hatch

First you need to decide what level of insulating value you need. Insulating value is measured in R-value (hotlink that explains R-value). The higher the insulating value the higher the R value. ESS makes covers in R-20 and R-38. Department of Energy and Building Code suggest matching the R-value of the attic entrance to the R-value in the surrounding attic. Some homes do not offer enough clearance room in the attic to allow for an R-38 cover. In these cases, ESS suggests ordering the R-20 version of The Energy Guardian® Cover. An attic needs 20.5” worth of clearance above it in order to install the R-38 version and 15.5” for the R-20 version. Please click here (link to order TEG uni R-20) to order The Energy Guardian Universal Hatch Cover R-20 or here The Energy Guardian Universal Hatch Cover R-38 (link to order TEG uni R-38) If your attic has less than 15.5” worth of clearance please contact (hotlink to contact info) ESS Energy Products with the measurements of the opening.

The Energy Guardian® Universal Hatch Cover is designed to fit in attic that have openings with dimensions of 22.5” x 30” or smaller. If you have an opening that is larger please contact (hotlink to contact info) ESS Energy Products, Inc. witht the measurements of your attic opening. The Energy Guardian® Universal Hatch Covers can be installed in attics that have trussed roof construction and open construction (image of hatch from tech data and one with D holding up cover). In order to be compliant BPI (hotlink to BPI), ICC (hotlink to ICC) and Department of Energy (link to SWS) standards the Covers come with:

  1. A rigid barrier that keeps insulation and other debris in the attic from entering your home. This barrier can be installed around roof trusses that are near your attic entrance, please see the above image.
  2. Insulation that matches the surrounding attic (lower insulation levels can be used when clearance does not allow it)
  3. Weather-stripping for an air seal
