Abstract:

The present application relates to an attic door assembly. The attic door assembly includes a jamb having an interior surface. The jamb is installed adjacent to a pull-down attic door. The attic door assembly also includes a rabbet disposed along a perimeter of the interior surface of the jamb and a door hingedly coupled to the jamb. The door includes a frame, a panel coupled to a first side of the frame, and a foam board coupled to a second side of the frame opposite the panel. The foam board, the panel, and the frame in combination define an interior space. An insulating material is disposed within the interior space. Finally, a flexible sealant is applied to the interior surface. The flexible sealant is operable to seal an interface of the rabbet, the jamb, and the door.
