Universal Hatch Kit Components
Here are the components of the Universal Hatch Kit and
their role in insulating your attic hatch opening.
Installation Instructions are on the back side of this page
2. Barrier Sections (x4)
1. Insulation Block
3. Joist Framing Unit (x2)
4. Weather-stripping
Our Premium, High Density EPS provides the insulating value for
your hatch cover. When installed on the attic side of the hatch cover,
the Insulation Block provides an insulating value. The ESS Energy
Products, Inc. label, with designated insulating value, is installed on
the attic side.
Note: The Insulation Block only attaches to the attic side of the
existing hatch cover. It does not attach to the Protective Barrier.
The assembled Protective Barrier provides a structure that prevents
insulation, dust and debris from falling through the attic opening into
your home. The Protective Barrier is glued to the joists which define
the perimeter of the attic opening, inside the attic. These four (4)
Barrier Sections are glued together to make the Protective Barrier.
Joist Framing Units are glued to the outside of two opposite sides
of the Protective Barrier . They slide down into the floor joist and
prevent insulation, dust and debris from entering the attic opening,
under the barrier frame.
Weather-stripping is installed where attic hatch cover sits on the trim
of the hatch opening that keeps it in place. Weather-stripping
prevents air from leaking into the home from the attic. It is essential
that Weather-stripping provides a complete seal around the perimeter
of the attic opening with no gaps.
