I wanted to drop you a note to let you know how much I love the Draft Cap.
With the temperature being under 20F for the last few days, I got right home and
immediately brought up your product to my attic stairs. It fit like a glove!
Almost as immediately as I positioned the cap in place, the cold air from above stopped
barreling down my attic stairs and onto my face. The next day, I spent an hour cleaning
up the uneven wood around the top of my stairwell, and placed flexible piece of foam
insulation around the base where the cap meets the plywood, and it fits even better now.
I’m totally satisfied.
It’s such a simple invention that works so well.
Thanks again and best of luck with your invention.

- I recently had a home energy audit and expected to be
informed that I would need to replace all of our old windows. Instead, the
biggest energy loss was around the attic ladder door. I called the local giant
hardware store and was told their attic door covers were usually out of stock.
I looked on the Internet and found the Draft Cap. I ordered one and paid using
Pay Pal. The package arrived within a few days. It came in two sections and
assembly was easy. I was surprised at the thickness of the foam and presume
that this provides better insulation than the thinner foam sheets at the
hardware store.
I did run into a problem. The elbows of the hinges on the
attic ladder stuck up into the attic twelve inches. When I closed the attic
door these hinges pushed the Draft Cap up off the floor, preventing it from
blocking the draft. I contacted the Draft Cap company and they went out of
their way to provide me with an extension to make the Cap taller. I am now a
satisfied customer and have told friends and family. I recommend the Draft Cap
to anyone who has an attic door.

- As a more than satisfied owner and user of the DRAFT CAP, I can fully
attest to its use since it prevents heat loss during the winter months and
heat gain during the summer months. Not only does it do both but,
as a senior citizen, it is very easy to move away from the opening when access to the attic is necessary.
I have used this product for the last several years and highly recommend its
use by anyone who has ever experienced the extreme temperatures that can
escape though any attic staircase.

Friends and Family, One of my patients has invented the Draft Cap, which
basically insulates the drop down stair door to your attic. This can save
you money when heating or cooling your home. If you think about it, your entire
attic is insulated but in the hall ceiling you have a thin piece of wood that
lets a lot of heat escape into the attic. If you don't believe me, the
next time you pull your stairs down on a really cold night you will feel all
the cold air come at you like a ton of bricks. With my Draft Cap in
place, there is absolutely no rush of cold air when it is in place. It
only weighs about 8 pounds and when you want to get into the attic you just
flip it on its side or push it to one side. It is pretty inexpensive and
probably pays for itself in one or two winters. As I mentioned, I have had
mine for 3 seasons and it definitely helps me use less oil.
