What to Avoid and what to Include?

Items to Avoid

  • Do not use thin or flimsy material such as cardboard or plastic for the cover. The material must be able to support additional insulation and remain airtight.

Items to Incorporate

  • Be careful around the openings of shafts and drop ceilings. Only use the joists and rafters to move around on. Do not step on the ceiling.
  • Thoroughly seal around the opening cover and all adjacent framing.
