    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).

      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.

    $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.

    "Having the foam also with this won't make a difference" hmm, doubt it, that foam underneath is increasing the R value

      @ 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

    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.

    • @flyingjeff1984

      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.

    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.
