Description
The E-Z Hatch® Regular Attic Access Door is an air-tight, high-performance, energy-efficient attic access scuttle door. It is R-50 or R-80, triple-gasketed, pre-finished, and fits in a 22 ½” x 30 ½” rough opening.
Triple gaskets provide an airtight seal with the option of R-50 Insulation or R-80 insulation. The core of the door is 10 inches thick and made of Expanded Polystyrene foam that provides a better R-Value than fiberglass. The face of the door is glossed white, durable, and easy to clean. The lightweight door opens with little effort, allowing easy entry into your attic space. The finished face on the door fits tightly into the weatherstrip on the trim when the door closes.
The top gasket of closed-cell insulation seals the top of the door. Gaskets provided where the trim meets the ceiling, where the face of the door meets the trim, and where the top of the door meets the frame. The gasket is fire rated per ASTM E84 for flame spread (FSI) 25 or less, smoke developed (SDI) 50 or less, (required by Code for exposed insulation), and meets code requirements.
The lightweight door weighs only 10 pounds and lifts up and out of the way for easy attic access.
No hinges – The door is designed to prevent interference with the roof joists. Perfect for use with any type of attic insulation, including blown-in insulation. The 12 in. tall wood frame acts as an insulation dam, which holds the insulation back from the opening, and takes the mess out of getting into your attic space. Sized to fit either between roof trusses 24″ on-center or between ceiling joists 16″ o.c. with minimal carpentry required (cut one joist and add headers).
Helps Meet the following LEED Homes credit categories:
