Can't do it myself
Need a reference for insulating my garage doors. I can't do it myself so no need to send me to Lowes. There is someone that usually has a booth at the various events on the squares but I can't remember their name. Thanks for any help.

Just had ours done by Ro-mac. After they install the insulation it's important to have your garage doors balanced, since you will now have a different weight on the doors. Ro-mac does the balancing as part of the job.

Yes, we believe it makes a difference. |

The springs are powerful and can badly hurt you if you mess with them. As to insulating a garage door. Any insulation slows down the transfer of heat. When you open your garage door a big opening, heat will flow in or out rather quickly. I would expect garage door insulation will reduce sound and if the sun hits your garage door it might keep your garage a little cooler-IF YOU DO NOT OPEN THE DOOR. |
There are different products, such as rigid foam sheet and flexible bubble material, as well as different radiant barrier coatings. Does anyone know which is the best? My west-facing garage gets up into the high 90's in the summer.

Had the thick styrofoam sheets added to my SSW-facing garage...Garage doesn't get over 90F now.
Another benefit is that the garage doors are quieter in operation. Ro-Mac at $500 seems like a good choice because they can do a garage door service at the same time. |
