It does a great job for the application. A thin metal garage door is arguably one of the least efficient parts of your home. Of course that is not the only reason why the garage is hot. As mentioned generally the best you can cool a non air conditioned garage is to the outside air temperature. With that being said, the insulation will help the garage stay cooler longer and in combination with our
garage fan will exhaust the heat and humidity faster. There are limitations on materials that can be used on the garage door due to space and weight issues. Our light weight
insulation we have found to be very effective blocking 95% of radiant heat with a R value equivalent of around 11. The reason I say equivalent is because this type of insulation is not rated in the same way as traditional fiberglass or foam insulation.
