Downlight Attic Seal
The Down-light Attic Seal has been developed to be fitted over downlights which are situated in ceilings, to loft/attic.

It is known that downlights are a weak point in the fight against heat loss. This is due to several factors that include these weak areas are not currently insulated and the lights are not air-tight.

See below how fitting the Downlight Attic Seal will save you energy and help make your home more comfortable.

Downlights & Insulation
Down-lights and Loft Insulation together in the ceiling to the loft are a source of heat loss for home owners and of-course concern of how to treat these thermally weak light fittings. The Downlight Attic Seal is a quality product developed to resolve these problems.

The illustration below shows how most downlights in attic ceilings are treated and as a consequence the easy path for draughts and heat-loss.

As can be seen the loft insulation should be kept away from untreated downlights. Loft insulation is not continuous and will leave the ceiling weak in the fight against heat-loss. Each downlight can pass 20 cubic meters per hour of conditioned (heated) air from living area to attic (at 50pa pressure), this is energy and heat loss.
