Bathrooms and kitchens are places of high moisture and it would appear that there are convective paths around winâ€" dows, electric boxes, pipes and other trim through which that moist air enters.

I have tried to think of ways to insulate it but the folding steps, springs and brackâ€" ets seem to be in the way. This stairway is used occasionally to store things in the attic, so whatever we do must be easily dealt with. A.,There is an easy and very effective way to insulate this sizeable opening through which a lot of heat is lost and worse, a lot of moistureâ€"laden air enters the attic and can cause problems. 3+1 bdrm. bungalow, heated inground pool on a fabulous mature lot.
