BACKGROUNDProduct image • Product description • Contact information
Description:
New Building Codes require attic access to be insulated R-30 to R-49+. Per 2009 IECC Section 402.2.3 and 2009 IRC Section N1102.2.3 reads: "Access hatches and doors. Access doors from conditioned spaces to unconditioned spaces (e.g., attics and crawl spaces) shall be weatherstripped and insulated to a level equivalent to the insulation on the surrounding surfaces." A minimum of R-30 to R-49+ is now required!
Battic Door Energy Conservation Products introduces the E-Z Hatch Attic Access Door System For Energy Star Home and Green Building Contractors.
The E-Z Hatch Attic Access Door System is an easy to install, R-42 insulated, pre-finished attic access door system that installs into the ceiling in minutes and provides a sealed, energy-efficient, 22x30” access opening into the attic space.
Developed by Contractors as an alternative to energy wasting pull down attic stairs, the E-Z Hatch installs in minutes with only a utility knife and a screwdriver.
Designed for use in new construction or retrofit applications for Contractors and do-it-yourselfers. The unit consists of a wood frame, an insulated door, and all interior trim.
The E-Z Hatch overhead attic access door system is highly insulated and triple-weatherstripped to provide the maximum energy conservation possible.
Available in 22" x 30" for new construction or retrofit, the E-Z Hatch Attic Access Door exceeds all Building and Energy Code requirements, including the new Energy-Star Thermal Bypass requirements. Special introductory pricing is available.
The door is made of Expanded Polystyrene foam that provides an insulation value of R-42. The lightweight door opens with little effort, allowing easy entry into the attic space. The finished face on the door fits tightly into the finished trim when the door closes.
Engineered for use with any type of insulation, including blown-in insulation. The tall wood frame acts as an insulation dam, which holds the insulation back from the opening, and takes the mess out of getting into the attic space.
Available at your local Building Supply Center, or Factory Direct by mail order.

Battic Door Energy Conservation Products manufactures and distributes low-cost, high-value, energy conservation products for the SIX largest overlooked "holes" in the house:
The pull-down attic stairs, the whole house fan and A/C return, the fireplace, the clothes dryer exhaust duct, the bathroom exhaust fan duct, and the attic access door hatch.
By sealing these "holes", air leaks, cold drafts, and wasted energy are reduced. The products work year 'round by reducing cold drafts and heat loss in the winter, as well as air-conditioning loss in the summer.
The products conserve energy, lower your utility bills, reduce noise and pollutants, improve indoor air quality, reduce the chance of ice dams and attic mold, and improve the comfort of your home. Contractors preferred supplier, the products are available direct to customers by mail order, also available in bulk to builders, weatherization contractors, and distributors.

Which listed hazards are present, how they are handled, the magnitude of emissions, and the extent and effectiveness of efforts to minimize creation, use, and releases of such hazards, are all important in assessing environmental responsibility. While it can be problematic to try to compare the performance of different companies, a record of TRI releases by company found on the EPA website allows review of a single company over time. http://www.epa.gov/enviro/html/tris/tris_query.html) |
