Attic Tent
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 Attic Tent creates an air tight barrier, and it also keeps blown insulation up in the attic where it belongs, not on your floor, each time you open your attic stair door.
How much money will I save?
The amount of money you will save will vary depending on the severity of your climate. The Attic Tent has been proven to reduce air transfer by at least 71%. That's less energy used to heat or cool your living area being lost into the attic. (Our new improved installation method for the Attic Tent should provide even greater savings in reducing air loss/ transfer than stated.) The Attic Tent should pay for itself in one year!What is it made out of?
The patented Attic Tent consists of a durable shell, made of a space age synthetic casing. This high-tech material is adhered to 1/2 inch thick micro-fiber urethane insulation. It is lightweight, ultra-thin and ultra-effective.How do I get in and out of my attic?
The Attic Tent is designed with non-corrosive, heavy-duty zippers that allow easy access to our attic while keeping harmful insulation and dust particles in the attic. This improves indoor air quality and keeps the insulation off your floors.Does it have an R-Value?
The Attic Tent materials have been calculated to a 3.2 R-value. It is designed to be an air transfer barrier between your attic and your living area. This is the same principle behind storm doors and windows. Tucker Engineering calculated monthly savings based on a conservative 32 degree differential in temperature between the attic and living space, for both hot and cold seasons. After installing an Attic Tent, the actual R-value should increase (applied R-value) when including the attic stair door and empty space between the door and the Tent.
