Re: [DIY] Insulate garage door

 

Bob, this is something we really need to do with our garage.  Would you mind sharing the size of your garage and the cost to do this?  Our house is extremely well insulated and the garage is completely finished so can't imagine why they didn't insulate it during construction.  The side walls are concrete about 36" up with 2x4 and sheetrock the rest of the way.  Ceiling is at least 10', maybe 12'.   Two walls back to the house - one wall to the outside and the metal roll-up doors make up the 4th side.  There is blown in insulation in the attic over a portion of the garage ceiling - but none in the area where an attic floor was put in.  Would not want to remove the sheetrock so have thought the blown in stuff would be the best method for the one exterior wall.  The Ultra-touch Radiant Barrier has good reviews and looks like it might work for our garage doors. Need to take a trip to Home Depot and talk to them.

I just had my attached garage insulated. This included all the walls, the attic, and the garage door.  I did this to be able to efficiently air condition and heat the garage for use as a part time hobby and woodworking shop.  I live near Houston, Texas so my primary concern was air conditioning.

 

I used a commercial insulation company. They installed a product called Ultratouch denim insulation in the door panels. It is held in place with metal bands that are attached to my garage door with sheet metal screws.
