Common sense tells you that you wouldn’t leave a window open during the winter, right? Well, then you better close the window going to your attic. Air leaks thru the opening and cracks and if it is not insulated properly then you are losing money and energy all year round. Most homes have attic accesses of some type for example: attic stairs and pull down stairs or the common smaller openings in the hallways, closets, laundry rooms and garages. These openings are usually not insulated properly. Do you realize the amount of lost energy and wasted money it takes to heat and cool a home that has a window open all year long? Attic openings create a huge loss of heat in the winter months and cause your air conditioning to work harder during the summer months too. Now you can control the amount of energy loss in your home. By insulating it properly using a high R-Value product like Thermal Cap, you can save money now.
< Back to top>We can’t pin point a number on the savings you will enjoy with Thermal Cap but Energy professional advisors have estimated the average home across the USA will lose approx 40% of their energy through the ceiling in the home. MOST of that is loss thru ceiling access points; attic stairs, attic hatches, attic access panels etc…
You will save the most money when using the Thermal Cap 6” R-30. Estimates confirm hundreds will be saved in the first year. Thermal Cap will last the life of your home and save you money year after year. All homes are not insulated or built the same and the amount of energy and money saved will vary from one to another. The bottom line, you will not spend much to save thousands of dollars in a short period of time. The Thermal Cap is easy to move and lift out of the way when you need to go into the attic.
In the winter cold months, your attic is as cold as is it is outside. By using the Thermal Cap, you will eliminate energy loss and save money ALL YEAR LONG. YES even in the summer! Heat will move toward colder areas. Radiant heat will move into your home through any attic access point when it is not properly insulated. Have you been in your attic in the middle of a hot summer day? It is HOT! That heat will move thru the attic access panel or hatch and creates more heat for your air conditioner to cool your home. This also wastes energy and also can be controlled. The Thermal Cap is designed to save you money all year long.
Every home has some type of attic access. Most new homes get to enjoy and easy way to enter their attic by using attic pull down stairs or attic stairs. This allows someone to go up an actual stair set to go into the attic. The problem? This is the HARDEST attic access to insulate. Well, it used to be the hardest….. With Thermal Cap, your problems are solved!
Even smaller attic hatches or openings that are in small ceiling areas like closets, hallways, laundry rooms and garages… all of these openings can easily be insulated by using the Thermal Cap system. One size fits all! ORDER TODAY AND START SAVING NOW!
EPS is a molded, closed cell/cellular plastic made from petrochemicals derived from crude oil. EPS is a unique material, having excellent insulating qualities. EPS is a lightweight, strong and resilient, non-corrosive, dimensionally stable material. EPS contains no CFC's, HCFC's, HFC's, or formaldehyde. It is inert, non-nutritive and highly stable, and therefore will not decompose, decay, or produce undesirable gases or leachiest. EPS is recyclable, and safe for WTE Systems and landfills. EPS is 100% recyclable and we encourage you to support recycling and energy conservation in your area.
YES! EPS rigid board insulation material is 100% safe and non toxic. When you cut, shape or foam this product, it will NOT be harmful to any humans or pets. See more characteristics below:

The R value or R-value is a measure of thermal resistance [1] used in the building and construction industry. The bigger the number, the better the building insulation's effectiveness[2]. R value is the reciprocal of U-value.
Increasing the thickness of an insulating layer increases the R value. For example, each inch of glass wool batting thickness adds approximately 3.5 (ft²·°F·h/Btu) to its R value. Heat transfer through an insulating layer is analogous to adding resistance to a series circuit with a fixed voltage. However, this only hold approximately because the effective thermal conductivity of some insulating materials depends on thickness. The addition of materials to enclose the insulation such as sheetrock and siding provides additional but typically much smaller R value.
There are many factors that come into play when using R values to compute heat loss for a particular wall. Manufacturer R values apply only to properly installed insulation. Packing two layers of R-19 into the thickness intended for one layer will increase but not double the R-value. Another important factor to consider is that studs and windows provide a parallel heat conduction path that is unaffected by the insulation's R value. The practical implication of this is that one could double the R value used to insulate a home and realize substantially less than a 50% reduction in heat loss. Even perfect wall insulation only eliminates conduction through the insulation but leaves unaffected the heat loss through such materials as glass windows and studs not to mention heat losses from air exchange.
The R value is a measure of insulation's heat loss retardation under specified test conditions. The primary mode of heat transfer impeded by insulation is convection but unavoidablably it also retards heat loss by all three heat transfer modes: conduction, convection, and radiation. The primary means of heat loss across an uninsulated space is by natural convection, which occurs because of changes in air density with temperature. Insulation greatly retards natural convection. Most insulations trap air so that significant convective heat loss is eliminated leaving only conduction and radiation transfer. The primarily role of such insulation is to make the thermal conductivity of the insulation that of trapped, stagnant air. However this cannot be realized fully because the glass wool or foam is needed to prevent convection and increases the heat conduction compared to still air. Radiation heat transfer is minimized by having many surfaces interrupting a "clear view" between the inner and outer surfaces of the insulation. Such multiple surfaces are abundant in batting and porous foam. Radiation is also minimized by low emissivity (highly reflective) surfaces. Lower thermal conductivity and, therefore, high R values can be achieved by replacing air with argon when practical such as between sealed double-glazed windows and special closed-pore foam insulation.
