Thanks.
The garage doors in CYV's like mine are not insulated. I believe that the garage doors in Designer homes are insulated. We purchased 6 sheets of 4 x 8 Styrofoam sheets from Lowes cut them with a razor knife to fit and installed them on our doors. We immediately saw that the temps in the garage on very sunny days was at least 10-15 degrees cooler. The garage door was also much quieter when opening and closing. Took 2-3 hours to install the panels and well worth it.
