Good Product
It came in a box rolled up which caused it to look wrinkly at first, but it was a no-brainer to install, the wrinkles worked themselves out, and really it does not look too bad considering it's like a white shiny blanket taped to my ceiling. I am pleased. It will do the job I am sure. I love my whole house fan but I know I have lost much heat throughout the winter by leaving it uncovered prior to now. For the price I think it is an excellent product.
Good cover, don't bother buying magnetic strips
This product is a very good covering for our 32" ceiling fan. The material is about 1/3" thick, and there is enough of it to cover a much bigger fan. It comes with enough velcro to attach the the cover completely around the edge. I noticed in the Amazon ad that others had purchased magnetic strips to attach the cover, rather than using the velcro strips. I thought this was a good idea, because I thought the seal around the edge would be better. I also thought the magnetic strips would allow for easier removal of the cover. Since our ceiling fan has a non-magnetic louver (aluminum), I decided to buy two 10' packages of the magnetic strips and glue the strips both to the louver and the cover. However, the magnetic strips are very weak, and I found they barely support the weight of the cover. I thought that a good winter wind through the attic could blow the cover off. So I used the provided velcro instead, and I am happy with the result. The velcro is strong enough to hold the...
Thin, hard to install and pretty useless, but most of all: Ugly.
This is an extremely this piece of insulation that also contains some velcro for you to attach to the insulation and to the attic fan. It looked absolutely terrible after it was installed. I immediately took it back down and threw it in the trash. If you really want to try this out, just buy some velcro and a thin piece of insulation. I can't imagine this really does any good and it looks really stupid. Instead, I'm going to try buying some foam board insulation and build a "box" to go around the attic fan from the attic side instead. It will be more efficient and not look terrible.
