⁠job completed while I listened to NFL division games on radio. I went slow and careful and kept getting happier and happier. It was about 31 deg out when I was doing this. I was running a small electric oil radiator on hottest setting before starting and as I completed job I could feel the heat holding better. I’m very interested in this mostly for sun here in Louisiana. Gets HOT. If I can keep my garage cooled off 7-10 degrees cooler I’ll call it a big success. My garage door is 18’ x 8’ and that’s a LOT of surface area for heat and cold radiation. That’s a project I’m happy to complete. My receipt for the job was about $110 do 5 insulation panels and I had a bunch of AC tape on hand so only had to buy one roll too. Anyway my job didn’t come out near as “pretty” as yours but it will be good and functional! PS - I shoulda bought that razor knife. I used a long carpet knife that cut 3/4 way through and my stuff snapped good like dry wall but left a bit jagged edge. That’s alright though doesn’t affect functionality! Cheers and thanks again. Job done thanks to your pushing me with your own video!

Your comment made my day! I'm stoked to hear that you rocked the insulation. Pretty cool feeling a difference almost immediately isn't it!?! The Louisiana heat is no joke! A cooler garage is a game-changer summer time. Mine used to get so hot in the summer my camera and power tools would shut off some even started smoking. (Really, watch the poker table build video lol) Pulling off the whole thing for around $110 on a 16x8 door is worth every penny!! Who needs 'pretty' when you've got functionality. Now you see why I said the snap blade knife was very much worth the $5. 😜But hey the edges are hidden in the door channel so no one will ever know. Thanks for sharing your experience. Comments like this make it worth the time making these videos knowing they are useful or helpful.

Looks good, Dean. We live in Australia, so our problem is keeping the heat out in Summer. We insulated our garage door when we built our house 5 years ago and the builder thought we were crazy but our garage stays reasonably cool. In comparison, our son's garage, which is not insulated is like an oven.

We did too. In fact we also did the carport… yep, open on 2 sides, fence along the other. The neighbour, who is an engineer, said we were wasting our money. Sometime after he asked to come in to test the difference and was surprised. He noticed we always sat under the carport rather than our back veranda. After storm damage to his back veranda, he rebuilt the roof with colorbond and insulation , the same exact we used.

I could easily see an argument being made metal side out is better but the metal film is reflective on the foam side as well so I would assume it does the same thing. Just like spraying radiant barrier on the underside of a roof. But again that is just my thought process doesn’t mean it’s correct.

I am a 69 yr. old retired teacher. I moved into a smaller home in Houston with horrible insulation. My garage was so hot that the food in my pantry melted! I have used these insulation sheets on the garage walls. Big difference. I decided to follow your excellent instructions for insulating the garage door. Mine didn’t look as nice as yours, but it did work nicely. The cost has gone up, of course, so the cost was around $150. Thank you!

FYI, in addition to the styrofoam reduction of heat transfer through the garage door, the interior is warmer because you (and inside surfaces are both losing less radiant heat from radiation TO the cold door. A reflective surface has a low emissivity (high reflectivity), so radiant heat transfer from warm inside surfaces to the still cold styrofoam is lower. Radiant heat transfer = Emissivity x K x (T of inner surface to fourth power - T of outer surface to fourth power) where T is absolute temperature (-273 degrees C or - 360 F.) and K is a constant (forgot the name). This is why a hot roof with a reflective film on the inside of studs has significantly lower heat load on house AC unit. We radiate to a clear sky since it has a very low absolute temperature. Your system also provides a layer of thin air between the Styrofoam and the cold door surface providing additional insulation. Thanks for the video. David high

Thank you for a great comprehensive video. In the past I have made partial thickness horizontal cuts on opposite sides of a panel to Z-fold it and slip under the horizontal storm bar, fitting snugly under the top and bottom door panel lips. This negates the need to remove the horizontal bar. If there is no bar, thicker foam can be used using the Z-folds. Love the saddle on the Honda!

Good job with the demo and explaining. I'm in So. Cal. high desert with night temps in the high 20's to low 30's right now. My door is an old one piece metal and wood frame which I recently insulated with 1½". I was going to fill the sections but understand we should have an air gap so I just, using fender washers and wood screws, secured it to the wood frame and WOW! what a difference.😮 When I was putting the 2nd panel in place I felt the temperature behind the 1st and was very surprised in just a few minutes what a change. I understand, the foil helps keeps the heat on that side. If you want it cool inside, face the foil out. If you want it warm inside, face the foil in. And it does sound much quieter. Don't use wall insulation though it will add too much weight. Again great job thank you much. Well done.

Awesome! When I bought my home I wanted to use my garage for a work shop. One wall was just studs. Then there is the garage door, not insulated along with the wall on both sides. Well, beings I just bought the home I went on the cheap side. I went to the recycle center and they have huge bins with styrofoam. All nice and clean, there were blocks the width of my studs! I insulated my entire garage with styrofoam blocks. I also bought a roll of insulation. I sprayed that 3M tack spray and to this day I have rows of insulation across my garage door. I also ran string to help hold it in place. Since then I have insulated my walls, drywalled and painted and added extra plug ins. I also installed a 240 v plug in and bought a Dr. Heater for a garage heater. I think it was only around $60. The insulation is still on my garage door. Your's looks so nice! I think it's time to change mine out. It looks amazing! I only run the heater for a bit to warm it up and then turn it off. My garage runs around 60 degrees. That is warmer than my kitchen! Where there is a will there is a way! Thanks for the informative video!

Thank you for your video. Last year I did our garage doors for our home in Burleson, Texas. I came to the same conclusion as you - the 8 x 4 sheets were cheaper and much faster too install than the kits, allowing me to use larger sections. Also the sheets had a film on both sides so they were considerably less likely to break when squeezing into the frame. I installed 3/4 inch with the white out, because I like the look of the white and outside heat is more of a concern than cold, which is only much of a concern for a week or two. The panels from Lowes had the logo on the silver side and were white without logos the reverse which faced into the garage. Unfortunately, like you said, Lowes has stopped selling popular white and silver panels. Home Depot still sells the white and silver panels in our area, but unfortunately the logo is on the white side as you indicated. I initially was going to only do one 3/4 inch panel depth, but discovered that two fit in the frame so put an extra layer and staggered where there was an inside seam. By the time I was on the second layer, I had shifted from kits to 4 x 8 ft panels so job progressed quickly. Haven't sealed with tape yet. Even though the panels are light weight, I am wondering if I should have my garage door spring adjusted. Now that my garage does not heat up or cool down nearly as much with the outside temperature, at times I'm really missing not having more insulation. I'm wondering if there is a very lightweight vent with a screen that can be closed and opened when there is a beneficial temperature difference outside vs inside? The sun strikes my light tan colored garage doors and in a relatively mild 80 degree Texas day, the metal on the doors can be 130 degrees. With the insulation on the panels, the heating effect on the garage is mitigated, but the cross frames still get very hot and radiate into the garage. So far, without adequate ventilation the best I've found is outside solar shades either as a screen a foot out from the doors with a gap at the top and the bottom to let the heat out or as an awning on the third door. OK for two of the doors that are not used frequently, but an issue on the third because the solar screen must be manually removed before moving the car in or out of the garage. All of our windows have solar screens and the screens and awnings on the garage doors make a huge difference in the temperature of the doors on sunny days. Our HOA may prevent lighter than tan doors, but I experimented on the back door and a white solar RV paint on the bottom two panels does make a lower temperature on the metal by 10 degrees when hit by the sun. I'm not sure if painting the metal frames with the RV paint on the inside makes a difference or not. Above can be some work, but paying the electric bills for air conditioning is also not good. There are other factors at work, but I figure I save 100 to 200 per month over what my neighbors are paying and the house is also more comfortable.

I’m going to do this. Thank you! I’ll probably continue on with the garage walls, which are not insulated and my north kitchen cabinets. When I open them, I feel the cold very quickly. This is a project even I can do with the guidance you have given.

When it comes to insulation, you're only as good as your weakest link. So doing that should be a huge improvement. Great tip!

Five sheets at HD are almost $150. Still worth it. If everyone moving into a new garage would just set two inch panels all around the garage before stacking all the crap against the walls and you will never regret it.

@DeanFurnitureArtist wish y'all were closer. This old gal could use some help. Ha. Hubby of 48 yrs passed 8/2020 after 25 yrs in a wheelchair. He had 2 forms of muscular dystrophy and his last 5 , he couldn't even scratch his face. Very tough on both of us. Tough life for both of us. I have family in San Antonio, Austin, Round Rock, Cypress, Lockhart, Kyle,..... I love Texas, just not its humidity. Blessings, julie

I bumped into your video and glad I did. I bet you, you don't have a master degree in anything. May be no education at all. But you know how to explain, describe and put together things in a way that qualifies you to be a professor at a technical school. You have high IQ and I am impressed. I just subscribed to your channel. Amazing work sir.
