Battic Door Attic Access Solutions Consider using our attic access solutions on your residential / multifamily / apartment / condominium projects. Due to the recent Code changes it may be difficult to select an attic access solution that meets the new Building and Energy Codes: 2009 IECC Section 402.2.3 and 2009 IRC Section N1102.2.3 and 2012 IECC Section R402.2.4 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." Energy Star Version 3 requirements conform with the 2009 IECC and 2009 IRC. The 2012 International Green Construction Code conforms to the 2012 IECC. This means the attic access must now be insulated to the same level as the rest of the attic (min R-30). I have enclosed info for our two attic access solutions that meet these new Codes and provide solutions: 1. E-Z Hatch R-42 Attic Access Door. This is an air-tight, high-performance, energy-efficient attic access scuttle door. It is R-42, triple-gasketed, pre-finished, and provides a 22x30” access opening. It is an energy efficient alternative to energy wasting attic pull down ladders, and exceeds all Code requirements. Our Deluxe version is provided with a 4-point lock and handles. The lock may be keyed alike or different. The cost of this attic access door is less than the cost of a pull down ladder and the Code required insulated cover. Builder magazine, selected Battic Door from 1000's of exhibitors to be profiled for their Best of Day 2 video at the 2013 NAHB International Builders Show January 22-24, 2013 in Las Vegas!! Please visit our website to view the video. 2. Battic Door R-50 Attic Stair Cover. When pull down ladders are preferred we offer an energy-efficient pull down ladder cover. The kit includes our box (stair cover) and gasket, along with a reflective shield. The installer provides the desired amount of fiberglass insulation (R-50+) into the reflective shield, and the box is placed into the reflective shield covering the insulation. The shield holds the insulation to the box. The stair cover fits between trusses. We offer 22x54, 25x54 and 30x54 sizes.

Dan introduced Battic Door by saying “Battic Door is a small company that is addressing a big home building issue – air leakage in homes”. “There are a lot of big holes in the thermal envelope that can waste a lot of energy which means a lot of problems for homeowners with higher energy bills.”
Speaking to builders Dan stated “For production builders air leakage is a big problem because more and more blower doors are working their way into the building Codes - so pretty soon your houses are going to have to be tight, and they are going to have to be proven that they are tight. And one of the biggest holes is the attic access hatch.”
