On this episode Matt is using his current garage as a testing ground for some garage upgrades that he is hoping to employ at his new house!
The goal is to have a similar level of control over his new garage, which will be conditioned by it's own mini-split unit, as he will have over his conditioned living space.
The garage will be completely air sealed from the main house, and with the help of these new garage door tracks, ThermoTraks, his garage space will be air sealed as much a s possible. Tag along as Matt talks about his new ThermoTraks, as well as a number of other garage door upgrades!

Matt, you're receiving a free product or payment to show off a product. That's sponsored. Stop skirting around the definition. Have some integrity. Look forward to seeing better content in the future.

This isn't paid or sponsored, but they definitely gave me everything for free, so.... Just ask and maybe you can get one free too! I don't know how money works!

You can't say you're not affiliated, then immediately say you're given the stuff for free. Goods have value. You're being paid

@9873459872134234

When they give you free stuff in lieu of a product placement, THAT'S COMPENSATION.

20 min video for 5min of value.

If the manufacturers are giving you product and you’re installing and talking about the product on your show, it is most definitely a paid advertisement 🙄🤣

@garyvandeputte9590

Set your app to remind you to replace the battery every 2 years. If you don’t when you need it it won’t work. Trust me I know from experience.

I’m not affiliated with any of these companies and they aren’t paying. They just sent me a bunch of free stuff.

I will never put in uninsulated garage doors again. I installed Clopay "Classic Steel" 16x7 door with no windows with 18.4 R-factor and what a difference it made! My door faces west and the hot Texas Panhandle sun would heat up the garage in the afternoon to a mini oven before with the old insulated steel doors. After I installed the doors, I can go out in the garage in the afternoon and do some actual work in the garage as long as I haven't opened the door all day. I'm 100% believer in insulated doors!

Haas is vender that makes the best garage doors on the market, (my opinion). I installed 2 steel back sandwich doors on my home, and noticed a huge difference in temps throughout the year. The insulted doors will help maintain whatever the temperature is in the garage. And they are a very durable door, they do not dent as easy and you won't have to worry about the vinyl/foam insulation tearing or puncturing.

Hi Matt! I just finished watching about your garage door sealing. One thing not to forget about that exhaust for the garage most fumes lay low to the ground reason for that you must step down into a garage from a living space, and so if you install the fans at a higher elevation you're going to cause the fumes to pull up before it leaves your house. You got to install that fan low to the ground in order to take all the fumes and exhaust out of your garage wall. So, that fan reduces your air sealing quality by putting that fan in, as you may know, those dampers don't close tight and you lose your air conditioning you lose your heating in your garage just a thought. Thank you for having such a great Channel I built two houses myself and I learned a lot of techniques while I was building my second one on the lake at Lake Hopatcong New Jersey. I Incorporated some tips of yours and it saveed me a lot of time and effort! Take care!

Insulated doors are great 99.9% of the time. However, if you have heated garage and it is really cold out side the door can deform due to thermal dynamics. The outside metal shrinks and inside metal will expand (or not shrink), thus creating gap at the top as it bows inward. Outside temp zero farinhiet, inside 72F when i experienced this. I used an opposing squeeze camp and a board to push the top and close the gap. I have not figured out a more permanent solution as of yet. Just thought I'd share this experince. Best to all.

I can confirm that an insulated door does make a significant and noticeable difference to the comfort and quiet of a garage, even in a temperate climate.

I just bent my rails like these expensive ones. Garage is tighter now. Thanks for the tip!

I replaced the original wood garage door on my home about 20 years ago with an insulated steel door, and I think it has made a big difference. I will say, whoever installed this door did a great job because the door is still surprisingly weather resistant. I do like the idea of the new door tracks you showed, that is a neat idea.

I remember that 70s app my dad carried on him for when we left the garage door open, but we called it a leather belt! Never forgot to close it again.

I'm right there with you Matt. My garage doubles as my workshop. It has full insulation (same as house), Clopay R18 doors, and a 24K mini split. I have adjusted the garage door tracks numerous times and now have it air tight and perfect. My only trouble spots are those notorious critter corners where the door, frame, and concrete intersect. I've got those gaps down to about pencil-sized hole and can probably live with that. Here's a tip: run the vinyl flap molding all the way down until it touches the concrete.....dont' cut it short. BTW, the Clopay 3-layer insulated doors are fantastic and well worth the cost if you spend as much time in the garage as I do. On a hot 100 degree summer day, the outside of the doors are scalding hot......but the inside is barely warm.

When I add a new bottom seal rubber I take a foam tube that would go around a 3/4" water pipe to stop freezing or dripping. then cut it in half length wise making it a semi circle. I then taped enough strips together to go the length of the door, and pulled it through the bottom rubber bottom tube. This way when the door comes to rest on the concrete or floor gasket it will seal tight and not collapse. I've used that on several doors and it works great.
