DIY Garage Door Insulation Kits

Anyone who spends a lot of time in their garage knows that it’s not much better, and

really sometimes worse, than standing around outside. This means you are miserably
hot in the summer and freezing in the winter. If you use your garage as a workroom,
as many people do, this means that you have to work in uncomfortable temperatures
or add expensive and sometimes unsafe heaters and portable air-conditioning units to
your garage to make the temperatures bearable. And you still have to grin and bear the
annoyance of noises from the road, and the worry that your neighbors may complain
about the noises made as you use your power tools. All of this makes it harder to get
your work done.

The biggest reason for this discomfort and wide range of temperature spikes is because
of the flimsy metal garage door that provides no insulation and leaves one entire wall
of the room basically exposed to the elements. Luckily, there is an affordable and
easy way to make your garage more comfortable year-round – by installing garage
door insulation. Homeowners can purchase garage door insulation kits and install
them quickly and easily. This article gives two examples of high-quality garage door
insulation kits that you can buy to insulate your garage door.

Owens-Corning Garage Door Insulation Kit
The Owens-Corning garage door insulation kit is ideal for a single-car garage door up
to 9-feet wide. The panels fit easily into the exposed garage door channels, adding
thermal protection up to five times better than the door itself, and a 20% noise level
reduction. Installation of these garage door insulation kits should take less than hour.
The only tools you’ll need to complete the installation are a tape measure, straight edge,
a good utility knife, and a marker, so you’ll be enjoying your new garage door insulation
in no time.

Atlas EPS Matador Garage Door Insulation Universal Kit
The Matador Universal garage door insulation kit is another good option for DIY garage
door insulation kits. It works for 9 foot or 8 foot doors. It also makes the inside of your
garage and even the interior of your home more quiet. The insulation works to maintain
a more stable temperature, and can also help to keep your heating and cooling costs
lower. The installation is simple and requires no tools. It can be done in less than an
hour – allowing you to get back to the work you’ve been wanting to do in your nice,
comfortable garage.
