Good video. Insulating my garage door was a great investment. I didn't use a kit, but instead, used 4' x 8' panels of 3/4" Polystyrene with a radiant barrier from Lowes, and cut to fit. I used almost every inch of the panels and didn't have to worry about the look of it , because after I installed the panels, I covered each section using radiant barrier bubble wrap with aluminum HVAC tape. Lastly, I changed all the door hinges from 16 gage to 14 gage ($120 total) to ensure the added weight did not impact the mechanics of the door. Total cost of insulating an 18' and a 9' door was about $300.
Loved the video man! I'm planning on doing this to my garage door. Definitely going to paint the needed area's first, save on all that taping off work! Any overspray will be covered up by white panels after they are in.
Yeah. Good idea. I did not plan on it but had to after the install. It really helps with keeping out the heat and keeping in the cool. Thanks for watching
I watched your video, unfortunately for me, my wife watched your video. Shamefully I veered from your video and woe to the man with a scorned wife. So I took down the insulation and followed your video with the intensive fervor of a man on the edge of ledge. And VIOLA, It was done. Completed in a mere 3.57435, hours and 107 degree Texas sun on the dark painted, west facing, non-tree shaded double garage door of our new home. I now have a photo of you in my cooler garage for my inspiration. All kidding aside, I did follow your very will described instructions and it made the job easier. In my situation and probably most garage doors are this way, the upper lip (trough) is deeper, forcing the panel up into it and then pulling it down into the lower. I was having an issue getting to down into the lower trough once inserted as the panel left not wiggle room in thickness. I found using a wide popsicle stick worked great without damaging the panels. Thank you and i hope you found humor in my opening statements... Jack PS, NOW seems epoxying the floor is in her head.....Hmmm, where'd she get THAT idea...??? LOL
Our garage faces South in Louisiana. 🥵 Summer heat like an oven. Super easy to size & install. Easily 20F cooler in the Summer. Also a bit warmer in the Winter. So light weight it doesn’t affect the garage door opener operation. I also installed a Dryer vent upside down in the ceiling. This allows the power roof ventilator fan to pull any hot air in the garage out. I close it in the Winter.
That garage looks fantastic after all the upgrades and remodeling you have done. Very professional looking. I would love to do this insulation project to my own garage doors. I definitely need to get some insulation on those doors, more so for the winter than the summer but for both really. Great video and great review of a useful garage product.
I did this exact installation. It was easy and reasonable . Lowes had material for 62$ a pack of 8 panels . You’ll need 2 packs for a 2 car door . I say do it !
Did some simple lubrication on the garage, then found out I need a new bottom weather seal. Now I might as well just insulate this bad boy. Love it! Thanks for the tutorial! Cowabunga dude!
Lmaooo the end part was hilarious!! I have the same problem, a single project will turn into a full on restoration project haha. Great video!! I was born and raised in honolulu but been living in the states for the past 20 years now. In Texas now, and the heat can get crazy hot in the garage.
Great job on the install butttttt. Spray painting the hinges and Especially the springs is a big no no…. I’m a garage door installer and repairman. You don’t know how many clients I have that done what you did and messed up their doors🤦🏻♂️ butttt hopefully it doesn’t happen to you brotha Great Job again looks good!
I first found your station by looking for garage installation ideas . I ended up doing yours . All finished gonna go ahead and hit the metal with some white paint too !! 😂 yeah !!!
I’m growing some right now! Looking at this so I can insulate the garage and set up some grow tents in a bigger space. My door is made of tempered, translucent glass. The garage gets very hot in summer and cold in winter. Thank you for the video ! Mahalo
Thanks a lot. It’s a huge temperature improvement and sound as well. The afternoon sun beats right on that door so it was an oven. Thanks for watching and commenting.
@@HawaiiDetailing I like your content. I'm in Phoenix. We've lived in this house 4 years and the garage is an oven in the summer and I want to make it so that I can work in it and keep my freezer powered and cold. My garage is about 540 square feet and I am looking at a mini-split AC. First step in that process is insulating it and it's going smoothly.
@@brettoberry3586 good to hear. I did a mini split install also. They are nice. I Have had them for years over here and they work great. I made a vid about the garage mini split install. Check it out.
I did this exact upgrade 15yrs ago to a wooden double door and it resulted in a small improvement. What truly works to keep heat or cold out is to replace an uninsulated door with a 2” thick insulated R18.5 model which I have now.
I used styro boards like this from Home Depot.. but there was a radiant barrier on one side.. UV radiation reflected back outside. Even better heat reduction- especially is you use thinner boards that allow an air gap once inserted into door frames. (It’s all science ). :)
You are the coolest brotha I've watched so far. Your videos are awesome lol. But I will definitely run my insulation from watching your work brotha, thank you!
Cool tip fact, having your garage painted pure white from the outside, will reflect a lot of sunlight heat away, keeping the inside of your garage 11 to 17°C/20 to 30°F cooler than a darker coloured garage. White reflects 80 to 90% of sunlight.
Easy DIY. I did not have any trouble with the weight added to the door. Just check that when door is disconnected from the opener that it moves up and down freely with out any effort. If it feels weighted down you may have to tighten the tensioner. Mine did not require any adjustment. This assumes that your tensioner is adjusted properly prior to the install. Hope that helps
Awesome video, I just moved to a new house and failed to upgrade the doors to insulated doors. I moved from a house with insulated doors and the garage was much cooler. My new house the doors are like burners. The builder did insulate the garage, can't wait to get this done asap.
It helps a lot. I run the AC in my garage and the door is exposed to direct sunlight. It keeps a good bit of the heat out and the cold in. I am happy with it. Thanks for watching
It’s worth it. Keeps my cold air in and I am sure heat too for the winter locations. It helps a lot with the noise too. Overall I am very happy with it. Thanks for watching
Thanks a lot. I enjoy learning how to do new stuff. The process of researching the product, learning how to do the job right and then DIY is my thing. Doesn’t feel nearly as good (in my opinion) when you pay someone to do everything.
I bet you're loving all the comments about how your door will explode and cut your children in half. :-) I did a radiant barrier installation on similar thin doors (that weighs a whopping 4 pounds) and it's a bit upsetting to the door installer community.
I am thinking about doing the same in SWFL, but I am thinking that this should probably be combined with a radiant barrier like Reflectix pointing towards the inside of the garage door to keep the heat out and with an air gap. The insulation itself will help keep the cool air in when combined with a mini split system. Thoughts?
Hey - Great Video! My only question is based on a few other garage insulation videos - some recommend needing to have garage springs adjusted because of the extra weight added in insulation - I'm not sure how much weight is added and if that has any impact on the weight of the door and its ability to open properly - what's your thought?
Did you feel the garage get cooler as you completed the insulation? Would putting a layer of foil lined bubble wrap reflective barrier over that be an option for you? How thin were the panels? Did they much weight?
Very nice! I did this at a previous house. Used the foam board and it was a bit of a pain but worked great. Amazon is out of stock on the product at the moment. Bummer!

4 pounds of Styrofoam?
That is the cleanest and neatest garage I have seen!
Thanks.
Doing this for my grandparents this Saturday this really help me feel confident !
Great to hear. Thanks for watching
How’d it go?
I went to Lowes and picked up three packages immediately. Easy install. Used my Ryobi diamond cut off saw for the cuts. Thanks for the video!
Good to hear. Thanks
What brand/ model did you but? Im looking for shiny white on one side and grooved styrofoam on the other
I SUBSCRIBED for the relaxed vibes! 😎👍

Wow, I don't know how I came across this video exactly, but I'm pretty stoked to watch more of your videos!
Glad you like them!

I'm willing to bet that the insulation makes the door much quieter when rasing and lowering. Awesome video!
Yes it does. Thanks for watching

Thank you.
A lot of people have asked for the links to the insulation. Here you go. Thanks for helping to support the channel. amzn.to/3rsKxKA or amzn.to/44JRDND
Product appears to be no longer available. : (
It is in and out of stock occasionally. Check back soon and they will have it in again. Thanks for supporting the channel.
Best looking door insulation I’ve seen!
Thanks

Thanks for watching
@@HawaiiDetailing , dude you are awesome, great attitude!!
Honestly love your videos man! Love the vibe and your pace. Bravo! Keep it up!
I appreciate that!
Good video, I am totally going to do this to my garage. Keep that cold and heat out.
Great video. That job looks great. Thanks!
Great video - exactly the help I needed.
Thanks

Did not expect the jumping stomp! 😂 awesome job on the doors and great video brother
Thanks I appreciate it.
What is the name of the product & where did you get it? I love your results!
like your energy and presentation. good work and very pleasant.
Thank you so much 😀
You are the coolest brotha I've watched so far. Your videos are awesome lol. But I will definitely run my insulation from watching your work brotha, thank you!

😂 sweating like a what you did not finish. It looks great 😂
Hahaha.
This really looks nice! I have wanted to do something like this since I started working in the garage, but I was worried about it being too heavy...
Easy DIY. I did not have any trouble with the weight added to the door. Just check that when door is disconnected from the opener that it moves up and down freely with out any effort. If it feels weighted down you may have to tighten the tensioner. Mine did not require any adjustment. This assumes that your tensioner is adjusted properly prior to the install. Hope that helps

@@HawaiiDetailing Do you know if you can buy it anywhere else other Amazon, its showing unavailable.
Great job and looks great, however it needs to be fire rated, hence the need for sheet metal to cover the foam pieces.
These videos are good man. Idk why your not in the millions yet but other videos that are crap are
I am glad you like them. Thanks for watching
Thanks for the clear tutorial. Just got a house with my first garage ever. Definitely adding the insulation, if only for the noise reduction.
It’s worth it. Keeps my cold air in and I am sure heat too for the winter locations. It helps a lot with the noise too. Overall I am very happy with it. Thanks for watching
This guy is a vibe 😂 great video
Thanks.
I like the energy
Thanks
Great video man, good tutorial, love the vibe, and great attitude.
I appreciate it
Absolutely positively fantastic
Thanks.
Hats a good idea…I will paint and overspray if I want to the back of the door cuz I’ll paint it first then do the install. Aloha!
Thanks
Thanks😂😂!!! You’re most definitely invited to our cookout bruh!!!😂😂
Thanks
All garage doors at HP are already insulated. R16 is ideal for cold northern areas.
Nice!
I just replaced my garage door recently. It has a R-17 rating. It’s pretty sweet.
Yeah. It really makes a difference. Thanks for watching.
Our garage doors are also R17. When it is -30 out they do their job.
Could you share the link for the R-17 product? Lowes have R8. (Fiberglass?)
@@nafisajaghuri51 mine was ordered from a overhead door company
Right on man! I appreciate you putting this video out. Looks like something I can handle.
Thanks. It’s not a hard job. Has been working great for me too.
Did the same yesterday! Thanks!
I need to come do some work with you brother lol 💪 you're quite handy that's good.....you the man great job 👏

I know what you mean. Can’t please them all. Hahaha. Thanks for watching
That looks good my man. Good job! 👍
Thanks. I appreciate it
Brother your garage is looking amazing!! Can’t wait to start building my!! Awesome video as always 😎👍🏼
Thanks a lot. I appreciate it.
Satisfying. I’m vibing man
I did the same thing with my garage door and added the bubble foil insulation between the door panels and the thicker sheets of insulation.
Nice. It works well. Keeps it cool here in the heat. Thanks for watching
I just started doing the bubble foil and will throw this kit on top. How did it all turn out for you? Worth it?
Nice job! Doing mine here in Florida in the next few weeks. Thank you!
Yeah it’s worth it. Glad I did it. Thanks for watching

Great video! Love your energy & passion!! My wife and I were in O'ahu this past March and loved it! Cannot wait to get back!! Mahalo!!
Thanks a lot. I am glad you like the videos. Thanks for watching.
I had the repainting idea as soon as you started putting the panels in. You should have asked me. 😉
Hahaha. Thanks for watching
It is like listening to Jeff Spiccoli, but other than that, I enjoyed the video.
What would you use to close the gap between a garage door and the wall? At my apartments garage theres about a half inch gap.
Pretty sure your channel is the first I’ve subscribed to! Digging the vibe and succinct, informative content! ✌️

I can't believe he never said The Name of the Product was or Where and How it can be gotten ! He liked that kit Brand so much !
In the description is the link to the product. Thanks for watching
Did you feel the garage get cooler as you completed the insulation? Would putting a layer of foil lined bubble wrap reflective barrier over that be an option for you? How thin were the panels? Did they much weight?
Great work dude.. highly appreciated
Thanks
Love your videos man! I want my garage to be just like yours! haha
Yeah. Get started on it. If you have any questions feel free to ask. Thanks for watching
My husband did the same project 2 years ago & it has held up.
Thanks for watching and commenting
Great job it looks really good
Thanks.
Fantastic video my man! Thank you
Thanks. I appreciate it
Very nice! I did this at a previous house. Used the foam board and it was a bit of a pain but worked great. Amazon is out of stock on the product at the moment. Bummer!
I like mine too. Works well for the price and time.
What thickness of foam did you use and what r value is it?
Watched the whole vid and I don’t even have a garage lol. Subbing
Thanks a lot.
Great job man
I think I heard the word "man." When Adam saw Eve for the first time, he said, "Whoa Man."
Probably did. Hahahaha. Thanks for watching
Very awesome job man!
Thanks Socrates. Cool name man.
You have the coolest video on YOU TUBE
Thanks a lot.
I did this the easiest and fastest way possible and ordered a garage door with 1.5" insulating from manufacture.
Yeah. That works too.
