Is there a decent way to insulate a set of pulldown stairs?
I need access to my "attic" and am planning on using the fold-down stairs. It appears that they fit nicely in between the ceiling joists. What I am thinking of doing, is mounting them as far up into the joists as I can, and then building a small insulated cover that I can insert into the hole in the ceiling.
Is there an easier way?
We have those here at home. It's either something like you describe or build a box for in the attic. Have that insulated a to cover the upper portion and hinged to swing out of the way, if there's clearance.
If you do the way you suggest you might be able to glue a sheet of foam on the board you see from below when it is closed, and cover it with thin plywood. ???
