4.0 out of 5 stars Does the job, March 5, 2009

This review is from: Battic Door Whole House Attic Ceiling Fan Shutter Seal Cover, Fits up to 36" X 48" Attic Fan Shutters (Misc.)

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars almost invisible, June 17, 2009

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.

The cover seems to work, we'll have to get into deep winter to know for sure. One thing that may be a problem is the velcroe tape used to apply the cover. I'm sure it doesn't actually "seal" the opening. But it sure beats nothing at all and it was fairly simple to install. A bit pricey though.
