The Battic© Door Whole House Attic Fan Ceiling Shutter Seal is an energy-saving insulating cover for Whole House Attic Fans. It reduces air-leakage through the whole house attic fan saving the homeowner heating and cooling loss and energy costs. The Battic© Door Whole House Attic Fan Shutter Seal is installed over the ceiling shutter from the house side in the fall and removed in the spring. Attic access is not required! Simple to install - just velcro the cover into place. By reducing the amount of heat and moisture leaking into your attic, the severity of ice dams and attic mold is greatly reduced! Fits max 36" x 48" whole house attic fan ceiling shutters. Kit includes durable, attractive, non-toxic, white-colored, space-age foam, only ¼" thick, yet has an R-value of R-8. The foam air seals and insulates the attic fan, stopping heating and cooling loss and air leaks. The insulation is a Class A/Class 1 fire rated foam with superior thermal performance. No fiberglass - no itching. Larger kits for 48x48" are larger also available.
With so many on offer these days, it is great to have a name you can trust. This item is certainly that and will be a perfect buy. The distributor have added some great touches and this equals great value.

Does the job
This is a cut to fit solution to a heat loss problem. Now that it's in place, I don't notice it. The supplied Velcro tape made no sense to me, as you would have part of it permanently attached to the shutter. It would look tacky. I went out and bought two roll of adhesive magnetic tape (less than $3.00 for both), attached the tape to the back of the insulation, and stuck the insulation up to the shutter for a tight, magnetic seal. When summer comes, the insultation goes away with no evidence of its existance.

almost invisible
I was amazed that whole house attic fan covers are pretty much off the radar of box stores and hardware stores, but thanks to the www... After reading reviews about magnetic tape to hold the Battic fan shutter seal in place I checked my fan frame with a magnet, it's aluminum, so I used the velcro tape. The fan frame has a 1/4" recess into which the fan shutter seal fits (after trimming) so the seal material is almost invisible. Too early to tell what improvement this application will have so far as energy savings but any insulation is better than (none) bare fan slats. Good product. Took longer to clean 20 years of grime and smoke residue from the fan slats and frame than to install the shutter seal.
Glorified art project
Lets set the record straight with what you are actually getting here. In the box will be a roll of foil backed insulation, a roll of electrical tape (white), and a bunch of velcro. What they don't tell you is that this is completely do-it-yourself with items that you can buy much cheaper at home depot. You cut the insulation to size, add the velcro and I guess make pretty edges with the electrical tape!? The product is also must less attractive than it is in the picture. Don't waste your money.
I've never written a prodect review before, but getting this product just made me THAT angry.
