Insulating a garage door during the summer can provide several benefits, including keeping the garage cooler and reducing energy costs.

I’d be happy to share my experience with insulating a garage door during the summer months according to Redlands Garage Door.

  1. Choose the right insulation material: When selecting insulation material for your garage door, it’s important to consider the size and material of your door. There are several options to choose from, including foam board insulation, fiberglass batt insulation, and reflective foil insulation. I found that foam board insulation was the best option for my metal garage door, as it’s easy to cut and fit to size.
  2. Measure the garage door: Accurate measurements are crucial to ensure that you purchase the right amount of insulation material and avoid any unnecessary waste. Measure the width and height of the door, and don’t forget to account for any irregularities or obstructions.
  3. Clean the garage door: Before installing the insulation, it’s important to clean the garage door thoroughly using a mild detergent and a soft cloth or sponge. This removes any dirt or debris, ensuring that the insulation adheres correctly to the door.
  4. Cut the insulation material to size: Using a utility knife or scissors, cut the insulation material to the correct size. It’s important to cut the material slightly larger than the door’s size, so that it fits snugly and covers any gaps.
  5. Attach the insulation to the garage door: Depending on the insulation material, you can use adhesive or tape to attach it to the garage door. For foam board insulation, I applied adhesive to the back of the material and pressed it firmly against the door. For fiberglass batt insulation, I used a staple gun to attach it to the door. For reflective foil insulation, I taped it to the door using foil tape.
  6. Seal any gaps: After attaching the insulation, seal any gaps or cracks around the garage door using weatherstripping or sealant. This ensures that the insulation material is airtight, preventing air leaks and reducing energy costs.

In conclusion, as per Redlands Garage Door, insulating a garage door during the summer months is a great way to keep your garage cooler and reduce energy costs. By following these steps, you can effectively insulate your garage door and enjoy a more comfortable living space. If you encounter any issues or difficulties during the insulation process, don’t hesitate to seek professional help from a garage door repair company.
