Custom, Energy-Efficient Attic Hatches Built for Canadian Homes

Most attic hatches are poorly sealed, mass-produced, and not designed for cold climates. The Tru-Seal Attic Hatch is custom-built to eliminate air leakage, reduce heat loss, and help prevent attic rain — even in extreme Canadian winters.

Why Traditional Attic Hatches Fail

Off-the-shelf attic hatches prioritize convenience over performance. In cold climates, this often leads to moisture problems, heat loss, and long-term damage.

  • One-size-fits-all dimensions that don’t seal properly
  • Poor air sealing around the attic opening
  • Heat loss and energy inefficiency
  • Condensation buildup leading to attic rain
  • Materials that compress or degrade over time

The Tru-Seal Difference

Tru-Seal Attic Hatches are designed with performance first. Each unit is airtight, and built using moisture-resistant materials that hold up over time.

By sealing from underneath with a premium gasket, Tru-Seal eliminates air leakage — one of the primary contributors to attic rain and heat loss.

Designed for Builders and Quality-Focused Homeowners

Tru-Seal Attic Hatches are trusted by builders, renovators, and homeowners who want consistent results and fewer callbacks. Whether for a single home or a multi-unit build, Tru-Seal provides a reliable, professional-grade solution.

Attic Hatch FAQs

What is the best attic hatch for cold climates?

An airtight, insulated, custom-fit attic hatch performs best in cold climates by reducing air leakage and preventing moisture from entering the attic space. Tru-Seal Attic Hatch is the only manufactured hatch available in custom sizes.

Do attic hatches cause heat loss?

Yes. Poorly sealed attic hatches are a common source of heat loss, especially during winter.

What causes attic rain?

Attic rain occurs when warm, moist air escapes into a cold attic and condenses. Improperly sealed attic access points are a major contributor.

Are custom attic hatches worth it?

For cold climates and new construction, custom attic hatches reduce moisture issues, improve energy efficiency, and help prevent future problems. Tru-Seal offers unlimited warranty; if your hatch fails, we will find out why and/or replace it.

How the Tru-Seal Attic Hatch Is Installed

A simple, efficient installation process designed for fast, airtight results.

Tru-Seal installation step

Step 1: Install Cleats & Insulation

Supplied cleats are fastened into the rough opening, then batt insulation is placed into the cavity above for thermal performance.

Step 2: Install PVC Panel Seal Door

The airtight PVC panel is fastened from below.

Step 3: Install Finish Door & Trim

The finished PVC door with trim completes the installation.

Why Choose Tru-Seal?

"Tru-Seal" attic hatches are the innovative creation after years of R&D proved that the conventional hatch is flawed in nature and there needed to be a better way to seal the hatch up.

STANDARD OR CUSTOM FIT

Tru-Seal’s standard rough opening is 22½” × 26”, but custom sizes are also available with fast turnaround.

AIRTIGHT TO PREVENT HEAT LOSS

Fastening from underneath with a premium gasket ensures zero heat loss through the hatch.

SIMPLE TO INSTALL

Only a drill, batt insulation, and silicone are needed. Install in as little as 15 minutes.

PLACE THE HATCH ANYWHERE

By being fastened on from underneath, we are no longer restricted to attic height requirements as we are with the old wooden box hatches. As it is airtight, you can even install it in the laundry room!

CLEAN, MODERN APPEARANCE

Standard 2" PVC Brickmould frame, with an optional Shaker Panel frame available.

FLAME RESISTANT PANEL

PVC panels are flame resistant up to 10 mm thick—ideal for multi-unit applications.

Pricing starts at $160 + tax, plus shipping (shipping costs vary by location). Contact us at the order form at the bottom right of your screen for pricing on custom sizes or additional options.

Tru-Seal Attic Hatch Features

Tru-Seal hatches are built different for better results. Rather than using a heavy insulated door that sits on a gasket and pushes into the attic to gain access, Tru-Seal is fastened on from underneath. This allows us to properly insulate the hatch and completely eliminates the risk of air flow into the attic.

Rubber Gasket Seal ensuring long-term air seal
High-Quality Rubber Gasket: Maintains a reliable air seal for years of use, even as it is compressed.
Fully insulated attic hatch cavity
Friction Fit Batt Insulation: Allows the access cavity to reach the same R-Value as the rest of the attic, improving energy performance.
Continuous vapour barrier preventing air leakage
Continuous Vapour Barrier: Tru-Seal maintains the vapour barrier to prevent air flow and moisture migration into the attic space.

Conventional Attic Hatch Flaws

Traditional attic hatches often create weak points in your insulation envelope — allowing air leakage, condensation, and thermal bridging that compromise your home’s efficiency.

Compressed Weather Stripping

Standard weather stripping compresses within a year or two, leading to poor seals and air gaps that allow unwanted airflow between conditioned and attic spaces.

Uninsulated Door Gap

The half-inch uninsulated space around the door — designed to allow the hatch to push into the attic — creates a cold bridge and allows air to meet at the faulty weather stripping.

Thermal Bridging

Conventional hatch designs create a direct conductive path for heat transfer — allowing indoor warmth to escape and cold air to infiltrate, lowering overall energy performance.
