Abstract: An attic access assembly includes an outer frame and a panel subassembly. The outer frame attaches to a ceiling and frames an attic opening. The panel subassembly includes a central panel that fits within the outer frame, and a flexible barrier that defines an insulation pocket extending upwardly from the central panel. The central panel may include an insulating foam material. The insulation pocket is used to contain an insulating material. Weatherstripping seals the panel subassembly to the outer frame. The panel subassembly may include a panel frame that fits within the outer frame, frames the central panel, and defines a groove to retain a weatherstripping seal.

Abstract: The invention is directed to a suspended scaffolding apparatus mountable on wall for supporting a scaffold platform. The scaffolding apparatus includes at least attachment brackets, at least two vertical frame members, at least two support brackets, one or more braces and at least two detachable railing posts. The vertical frame members and associated support brackets may be selectively attached and detached from the attachment brackets which remain mounted on the top surface of the wall. The scaffolding apparatus can thus be conveniently installed at any time to permit work on the roof of the building.

Abstract: A prefabricated attic hatch includes a frame comprising an outer frame and an inner frame. The inner frame encloses a central insulating panel which is fabricated from metal-skinned insulating foam. A preferred material for the panel is metal insulated door waste material. A method of fabricating attic hatches includes the use of metal insulated door waste material.
