Insulating a garage door can be a relatively simple DIY project that can help reduce energy costs and increase the comfort of your garage.

Here’s a step-by-step guide from North Arlington Garage Door Repair

for insulating a garage door:

  1. Determine the type of insulation: I decide which type of insulation is best for my garage door, based on my budget and the level of insulation I want to achieve. Options include foam board, reflective foil, and spray foam.
  2. Measure my door: I measure the height, width, and thickness of my garage door to determine how much insulation I will need.
  3. Purchase the materials: I gather the insulation, any necessary adhesives, and any other materials I need, such as foam board, reflective foil, or spray foam.
  4. Clean the door: I clean the surface of my garage door to make sure it’s free of dirt, dust, or debris that might interfere with the insulation’s adhesion.
  5. Install foam board: If I choose foam board, I cut it to size and attach it to my garage door using adhesive. I make sure it fits snugly against the door with no gaps or spaces.
  6. Install reflective foil: If I opt for reflective foil, I measure and cut the foil to size, and attach it to my garage door using double-sided tape or adhesive. I ensure that it’s tight against the door and free of wrinkles or bubbles.
  7. Apply spray foam: If I choose spray foam, I follow the manufacturer’s instructions and safety precautions, and apply the foam to my garage door. I let it expand and cure according to the instructions.
  8. Seal any gaps: I check the edges of my garage door for any gaps or spaces between the door and the doorframe, and seal them with silicone caulk to prevent air leaks.
  9. Reinforce the door: If necessary, I reinforce my garage door with a brace or stiffener to keep it from bowing or warping.
  10. Paint the door: If I want to, I paint my garage door to match the color of my garage or to enhance its appearance.
