Re: Attic Pull down ladder door panel - insulation
Good link Phillip, I usually recommend adding insulation or a cover like that along with weather stripping.

I have yet to see a pull down stair that is insulated to R-11 much less R-30. How would that happen? What about insulated doors that lead from the second floor to the attic; they are nowhere near the overall requirment.
I'm happy if there is a little foam weather strip and minimal insulation.
Jim
