    I used the same product on my last door. I also added 1/4" melamine panels so that I could use the doors as whiteboards. I cut them so that I could slide them into the top and bottom rail of the door panel and the insulation held them in place.

    I just did this to my garage door. It's been unbearably hot so it took a couple days for the insulation to make a difference, but I definitely can feel the difference now. My garage has 10 bays instead of 8 so I needed an extra box. Very easy and so far, I am very happy with the outcome.

    I was looking at those kits, but didn't like the idea of the plastic clips and edges coming out. So instead I used 1.5" thick NGX foam board and the cost was very close to the same.
    Yes it was a bit more involved to install, but it's never going to fall out when the plastic clips melt off in the full sun on my garage door all afternoon. Turns out it's not as heavy as the pink batts ether. I was blown away at how well it works!!! I should have done it years ago!
    You should have mentioned that the garbage door springs should be properly adjusted for the new weight added to the garage door.

    I have this product installed on my door. The door is West facing (Arizona). Today the out side temp was 103F the measured exterior reflected heat off the door was 152F (Dark Brown door color). Because of this my clips kept on falling off. I actually had to epoxy them to the door for them to stay on. Will test it this summer to see if they stick all summer long. BTW great information!

    I just installed this in my FL garage for sound insulation more than temp regulation, although I'll take that benefit, as well (I'm using a Mr. Cool as well). I'm 24hrs into having this installed, and I already notice a benefit. No regrets whatsoever. Given the litigious society we live in today, I doubt VERY seriously that Corning would put out a product that would cause your springs to explode. If that starts happening on your garage door, then it "ain't" gonna be because of a few bats of fiberglass insulation. (sigh....only on RUclips). Whether or not it's better or worse......who knows. I've honestly got nothing to compare it to. But, I'm VERY happy with mine. The difference is obvious. The sound benefits are amazing, and I'm just now barely starting to see how much more efficient it makes my Mr. Cool, unit.

    • @phillamoore157
      @phillamoore157 3 месяца назад

      @@bijan4727 Hello, and thanks for the comment. The problem is that there are SO many variables. How close are you to the neighbors, what material are your garage walls, do you have windows in the garage, what kind of power tools, etc, etc…. As far as your garage door goes, it cost me just over $200 to cover a 2-car garage door….and it definitely helps. I’m a drummer and needed to make sure I wasn’t offending my neighbors. The door insulation helped lower the volume by roughly 20-30%, and it keeps my garage cool, as well (I have a mini-split). But, i wound up building a room inside my garage. Had I had it all to do over again, I would’ve put more drywall up on the existing walls of the garage. That’s by FAR the cheapest way to go. You’re literally putting up $20 sheets of drywall right over the top of your existing drywall. It just depends on your budget, and RUclips is loaded with videos on this topic. That said, short of the garage door, soundproofing get’s expensive quickly. If you have windows that sound is penetrating, you can get a product call Isole-sheets, as well. They’re more decorative and use “mass loaded vinyl”. They’re about $150 last time I checked, but are fantastic. Hope that helps!

    Totally agree with your assessment of insulating a garage door. I live in Central Florida and my garage door faces north. By 10:00am in the summertime, my garage was getting uncomfortable with the heat. Bought 1/2" styrofoam board which had one side with a thin aluminum type foil adhered to it and basically cut the board to fit in the sections of the door li ki e you did. I placed the aluminum foil side towards the metal door. What a difference in the space now. I can go into the garage at 13:00hrs and it is not over 85 degrees. The aluminized styrofoam board works well and is significantly cheaper than fiberglass batting you installed as well. Aluminum is a great radiant heat barrier!

    I really do think this is a great approach. As you mention, the R-value may not be nearly that of a true insulated garage door, (roughly half) but this is around 1/10 the cost of a proper insulated door, and as far as I'm concerned, that's worth considering. About to move into a new home, will almost certainly be installing one of these kits.

    I did the same after watching your old garage (the previous home). It makes a HUGE difference. One benefit for me is that I have a fridge in the garage and the compressor doesn't kick in as often. My garage is wood so I just screwed them on with some washers. Then I clipped all the plastic clips (removed the "tongs") and now use it as a stand-off for when I'm staining something. Finally, it's also important to put weather strips on the outside and to caulk it. Much less air leak and that helps.

    If you don't need to replace the door, then this is a great idea. I just may go with it myself. A factory insulated door has an R-value starting at 8 or 9 (and those numbers are misleading as they usually measure one panel rather than total air flow). So, the same as the R-8 you have there (listed on a big box store website as such). If you have to buy a new door, might as well spend the extra $200 (double garage door, based on another local box store prices) for better aesthetics. But of course, that's more opinion than fact.

    • @miragesmack007
      @miragesmack007 Год назад

      When I was pricing doors on my new garage, t he insulated doors added $4,000 over non insulated. Then there is the law of diminishing returns. A r12 door is not twice as good as an r6 door, it’s only like 6% better r value. And that number comes from the door manufacturer. So any insulation is good, you don’t need to spring for the r18 doors.

    This adds weight to your door, shortening its life. To counter that you can reinforce the door with horizontal bars (my local repairman installed them). To avoid small white clips from falling off with time, wrap a small zip tie around the area where it locks to prevent plastic from loosening over time. The spring will also need to be replaced (and not because another comment says it's junk) - they always install springs based on the weight of the door

    I see you've framed in the other door and used rock wool(?) insul there. I'm curious of the "R" factor on the rock wool insul you installed there. Looks to be 2x6 framing so I'm guessing an "R" factor of 19. I have a 20' insulated garage door that faces west and gets a lot of summer sun along with a lot of wind all year. I've got the driving rain problem taken care of with a "bump"I guess you'd call it? but the wind (gusts to 45 - 50 m.p.h.) problem still flexes the door. I've been thinking about a bi-fold or tri-fold framed wall to combat the wind problem.
    My question is - did you put a panel (sheeting) on the backside facing the garage door?

    • @bentswoodworking
      @bentswoodworking  2 года назад +2

      The door itself is pinned to the wall and insulated itself. Then I built the frame over it and adder the Rockwool. I didn’t do it for any r value benefits, more for the sound absorption benefits. I wanted to help block noise transfer out the garage door

    Please suggest if I should go with this Fibreglass or should I go for Styrofoam.
    Only reason I am more inclined towards Fibreglass is that this is softer than the other one.
    In my garage, the bolts that hold the garage on the panel protrude inside under the panel so if I put Styrofoam that will not fit it properly in the space under the panel without damaging the foam. On the other hand I am assuming this Fibreglass will fit it inside properly. Kindly share your views on this.

I live in Texas and my garage faces due west and gets the brutal summer heat. In fact we are in the midst of over 3 weeks straight with temps over 100.

    This will eventually wear out your motor. If done right you should have someone come and put the correct size springs on your door to account for the added weight.
    Also, the jack shaft motors aren't ideal for standard tracks. It's best to pitch the tracks downhill or add pusher springs to help start the door downhill.
    If you have high lift tracks it is not an issue.
