Can you clarify John: Is it an open ceiling area with roof lights (windows), or an actual staircase you need for access?

I met a couple who no longer needed frequent access to the second story of their house. They had built a wooden horizontal hinged platform to seal the area above the stairs to reduce heating costs.

If you need light through it, you could build it so that some areas had plastic to let light through?

So much depends on exactly what your situation looks like. A diagram and photos would be a big help.
