STIS: What would I be looking to buy at Lowe's if I wanted to weatherstrip (?) the attic door?

Posted by kelly Nov 15 '12, 17:05

Basically I just want to prevent any drafts from getting out via attic. I want to see if that makes a difference in making the 2nd floor a bit warmer than it is now (the same temp as the bottom floor).

The easier, the better. :)

not really versed in the field, but I'd want a tape/glued back so it is self sticking. check the draft area first to see what size you need 1", 2" etc -- nm - peglegpete Nov 15, 17:11
The one on the far right is good for what you are talking about. -- (link) - Bacon Nov 15, 17:11 6
- The first one will work well too. The weather foam -- nm - Bacon Nov 15, 17:11 5
  - Okay, thanks. -- nm - kelly Nov 15, 17:38 4
    - Is it a square peice of ceiling that falls down into the rest of the ceiling? - Bacon Nov 15, 17:42 3
      - We never use the attic, so I'm not sure it makes a difference what I cover, ya know? -- nm - kelly Nov 15, 17:43 2
        
        Oh, I was just talking about making it seal better. On the sides it might impede it from dropping down all the way. - Bacon Nov 15, 17:46 1
        
        I just texted you a picture of the attic door. :) -- nm - kelly Nov 15, 17:57
