Regarding the styrofoam panels for your garage door, did you get the 2" thick 4'x8' pieces or the 3/4" thick 4'x8' pieces? Any words of advice on installing them? Thanks.

One thing I did to my garage was to install Styrofoam panels on my garage doors. We have west facing garage doors and the sun blasts them all afternoon which heated up the garage. With the washer/dryer in there, it was uncomfortable to wash clothes or putter around in the garage. The panels noticeably reduced the heat in there. Bought the panels from Lowe's and it was an easy 2-3 hour DIY project. It also reduced the noise when the doors open and close.
