Attic Insulation: Adding Insulation to a Previously Finished Attic- Darren Lombardoby infoworkz18,593 views
Those are minumum 2x6 ceiling joist. His inuslation avg's more like 8-10 and was probably 12" back in the 80's/90's but has been compressed by storage on the left. Back when it was built and energy was cheap, the standard was probably R-30. You have to be careful everything is based on payback, and the attic hatch is typically about 1% of attic, it's not really smart to invest too much money in that 1% because it probably would't pay back. I would have used foil backed foam. Great method though

That looks lke a pretty good idea, but why not turn the box over, and put some insulation in it for a better R value?

Thats is a nice a simple fix but you onlyhave about 4-6" of insulation in that attic. In Wisconsin Energy Star recommends R49 or 15" of blown cellulose (about 22" if using fiberglass). So those boxes create a real problem if you want to insulate up and around the hatch. We build a dam using 2"x12" lumber on top of the scutle framing all around the scuttle to hold back our insulation and then rest a flat panel that is insulated to R50 on top.
