Air Infiltration through Attic Hatch

Air Infiltration through Attic Hatch

Hot attic air infiltrating through attic hatch in a Martinsburg home.  In most cases, as in this one, there is a blanket of at least R-19 on top of the hatch.  It is evident that the blanket is not making a difference.  A manufactured insulated hatch with a gasket needs to be installed here.
