At that price point you might as well buy an insulated garage door, especially if compared to a vinyl insulated door (as opposed to steel front-insul-steel back).
$1350?!? Holy smokes that’s a lot. At my old house, I installed an EPS kit I bought from Home Depot for a few hundred bucks. That was for an 18x7 door and a 9x7 door. At my previous house before that, I cut up Polyiso board with the foil face and wedged those in the panels with a little hvac foil tape to hold it in a few spots. 3 - 1/2” thick polyiso panels wedged in there nice and tight. Cut them with an olfa razor knife and a straight edge. My current house, I built custom so I installed higher end clopay coachman doors with the 2.5” thick insulation package. They’re awesome. My basement garage door is the cheaper clopay grand harbor door with the 1.5” insulation package.
@ I’m on the Canadian prairies the foil is an important part of but foam also helps insulate. My Hottub uses both foam and foil. The foil needs to be the last layer. Like you said for reflection
I wouldn’t guess this would be considered “OG Spec”. Not knocking the guys product, but it’s held together with Velcro and cut out with dollar store scissors. It’s like an arts and crafts project.
Looks cheap for how expensive it is. Cutting some foam board. Making sure the outside. Bottom door seal and a seal on the ground outside in front of the door works well to keep out drafts.
I’m sure this helps tremendously but I refuse to believe it is worth the money considering the low cost of the hard backed foam panels. And the foam looks so much better.
The only foam insulation I would ever want is encapsulated with a metal cover on both sides just because I will bump into the door and, thus, tear up the foam if it is exposed.
Great solution for warm climates to keep your garage cooler from radiant heat but this is useless for northern climates in keeping your garage warmer. Soon as I heard the price my jaw dropped as well.
This is definitely v 1.0. At that cost I think it’s like a lot of new OG solutions and mainly for early adopters who don’t mind being guinea pigs and part of ‘evolution’ of the solution.
So the Roll Up door can open and close without issues with this black cover on it? I have one in my house and I'd love this, but a little worried it'll get tangled up somewhere.
How affective is this solution in winter? It gets quite cold here in Germany, so I am looking for a solution like this for my home garage. I would assume the moisture build up between this material and the cold garage door would not be good in the long run.
As long as you don’t mark it up a crap ton being a middleman. As a product developer one of my Least favorite things is devolved product to support too many hands needing to pull honey out of the pot. Hook and loop stick on scares me. Stick on hook and loop is NOT permanent.
commercial version looks good, i dont know about that res install, i understand its because of the door construction, but not a fan of the "lumpy" look
Function over form on this one I'm afraid. Would be difficult to make a product that looks better and like he said, this will save them a lot of money every year in electric bills alone.
Ok cool idea, but question for you now because my garage door has hurricane bars (struts as you call it). Those hurricane bars are somewhat bowed downward in the center. With this going the entire width of the door, how will this look?
Would it not make more sense if you doing that much Velcro just doing a roll? Might be quicker just sliding across with a roll. Styrene is doing some insulation, just not radiant. Looks like a good diy job. Get a very good seal around the door first ✅
As an engineer, I'm glad this solution exist. People don't realize that the air gap between the door and barrier is critical to it's efficiency to reducing the temperature on the inside. It's not just R values. The heat radiates on to the garage door, then it diffuses in the air gap, then the heat has to transfer again from the air to the radiant barrier, then lastly into the garage ambient temp. If the material were touching the door flat against, then the heat just needs to transfer from the larger delta and would just feed heat into the garage. Three examples... Practical example is a stainless steel thermos. The near vacuum gap of air between sheets of metal is what keeps the coffee or iced beverage sustained for longer. Theoretical example is that if a home was double walled, and air tight, that the home's energy efficiency value would be extremely improved and effective in northern and southern climates. Lastly, expensive example, spray cellulose insulation for attics. This is extremely effective as its an expanded hardened foam that traps thousands upon thousands of little air bubbles/pockets that apply the same principal this product and above examples do. pssst.... its why a lot of the cheap radiant barriers look like bubblewrap with a reflective barrier.

There are insulated doors and there are insulated doors. The latter is very spendy.
correct. a double walled insulated door may be spendy, but better , especially in cold weather areas.

1,500 is diabolical
Almost new garage door price
Nice profit margin for matty though,gotta honour the source
"Having the foam also with this won't make a difference" hmm, doubt it, that foam underneath is increasing the R value
I kinda thought the same. Not sure how it wouldn’t. But maybe we are missing something
I've never understood "heat rejection" but I have known for years that people use thin, foil faced survival blankets to keep heat in.
@ I’m on the Canadian prairies the foil is an important part of but foam also helps insulate. My Hottub uses both foam and foil. The foil needs to be the last layer. Like you said for reflection
Should have saved this one for April's Fool...

Interesting but I'd like to see what the next iteration of the residential product looks like.
Looks cheap for how expensive it is. Cutting some foam board. Making sure the outside. Bottom door seal and a seal on the ground outside in front of the door works well to keep out drafts.
Nice concept Matt. All the wrinkles made it a no for me. I’m sure most folks will buy in though.
Got 3" thick styrofoam pieces on my garage door. Cost like $350.
Closed cell? Open cell? How did you adhere it? What protects it from the kids, etc.?
@flyingjeff1984 styrofoam. Ordered them to size and they are held in with friction. No kids.
I’m sure this helps tremendously but I refuse to believe it is worth the money considering the low cost of the hard backed foam panels. And the foam looks so much better.

Why not buy an insulated door. The cost is basically the same.
Is getting a new insulated garage door really $1500 installed?
@@Tdaz250 yeah, I was quoted that for an insulated door installed.
Did you have a before and after temp difference? Wondering how much more it helps the temperature with form insulation already in place.
I agree some thermal imagines of a before and after would have been more of what we would expect for OG!
He kinda mentioned waiting till hot summer for a true numbers test. Makes sense
ROI on this product is probably 40 years lol
So the Roll Up door can open and close without issues with this black cover on it? I have one in my house and I'd love this, but a little worried it'll get tangled up somewhere.
Any idea what the R value is? For those northern climates.
Better than nothing
Totally agree@@richardmesser1091
Holy spam comments batman
Right
All ad revenue went to the bots.

Call me crazy but it looked way better before this. The wrinkles are awful
commercial version looks good, i dont know about that res install, i understand its because of the door construction, but not a fan of the "lumpy" look
Should’ve done half the door and then take temperatures during the day to show it working.
Ugly, not og spec
Function over form on this one I'm afraid. Would be difficult to make a product that looks better and like he said, this will save them a lot of money every year in electric bills alone.
Yeah I know what you mean, a bit wrinkly 🤔
I think they did pretty good making it look good considering. I think it’s a very good product and deserves to be on the OG shelf
Products like these are diluting the OG brand, in my eyes.
@@Umiboo looks a bit like bouncy castle pvc aluminized on one side, hard to justify
That's a pretty slick solution!! Might have to save up for a few doors but I'm sure it'll be worth it
Really excited that this can be used for roll up doors. I’ve been looking for a solution other than buying a new insulated door
Impeccable timing. I'm insulating my garage.

Would this benefit garage door that faces north and never gets sun? For summer and winter?
It looks fine at OG HQ, but the wrinkles on your dad's would drive me crazy.
Ooof not a very clean setup
That is a nice install and it does wok well!.
Expensive, ugly
cant see this as a winner. expensive, and looks bad. commercial version may be okay where you can get a tax write off as a business expense.
Total miss
