This the first video I’ve seen that has someone installing the foil barrier away from the surface of the door. I googled it and they call for a minimum 1 inch gap. You stated in the beginning a 1/4 inch gap which might be better than no gap but not much. Your installation probably gives the best results possible for that type of insulation.
Your concrete floor is cold soaked, so it will take more btu's to bring it up to temp, then the area can be easily maintained as the heat in the concrete will hold that energy. Leave the door to the house open for a few hours to get the garage heated faster and the concrete up to temp. Then you'll see the improvement in top temperature and heat loss.
when temperature is low, tape style and other adhesives have reduced ability to firmly stick, any effort to allow tape to be indoors prior to using and warm up will help, also careful and intentionally placed pressure is also of significant importance to ensure the endurance or long term sticking of the tape adhesive, perhaps even going over the tape a second time again with slow consistent careful pressure.
Well done! I’ve been doing research on insulating my garage door, and I’ve picked up the same/similar US Energy Product that you’ve installed. Impressed by how carefully you did your install & trim! My garage door panels are formed differently than yours, but I’m looking forward to getting my kit installed very soon. Thanks much for the meticulous & informative video!
Awesome. i am sitting in my garage right now and with a long sleeve shirt on with no heat i am comfortable. Outside with the wind chill it is -4 Celsius.
The insulation you put on the door is really just a radiant barrier. It will definitely keep summer heat out, but do little to retain heat in the winter. My 60x60 monitor style shop in North Idaho (40 miles south of Canada) is split into 3 sections. The exterior and demising walls are filled with 5-1/2” of cellulose. The ceiling has R38 cellulose. The attic is vented. The slab has 2” polyurethane (blueboard) under it and 24” deep around the stem wall. A 1500w heater in each 1200 SF section will maintain about 40F over ambient. If the heat is turned off at 10PM on a 20F night, the shop cools from 60F to about 55F by 6AM.
There is a definite temperature difference in my shop with this barrier. Each time i open which is twice a day, you can feel the difference outside to inside. It is considerable. I will get a thermometer and place it outside and one inside to see what the actual difference is. If i lived in a much colder area i am sure i would have to consider a different product. 60 x60 shop. That is nice. Perhaps one day i can get a little further from the city and build a shop like that.
@@lovechangesus I am sitting in my garage right now at 22.8 degrees. Outside it is 33. Yesterday at 38 degrees outside it was 27.8. That is with no ac running. So basically a 10 degree difference. Very worth it
@tnt2938 I am near Toronto so can I buy this insulation you told for both winter and summer garage insulation? Or which you recommend to cover colder place like ontario? Thanks
I placed the product in one continuous length across the width of the door and mounted it to the top of the metal supports to create an air pocket between the door surface and the insulation. For my installation I chose to use 3M high bond double sided foam tape and I also placed the product under the hinges for added security. Self tapping screws were also added.
How did it work for the heat? My garage faces west and gets pounded by the sun in the late afternoon early evening. It makes my garage feel unbearable to be in.
Nice job!! great solution , light weight, I'd want to change color. Maybe use peel and stick exterior wallpaper that looks like a light colored wood wall. My garage is also a laundry room / dog bathing station,/ dog kennels, storage shelves above the dog kennels. Maybe put larger sized plain bubble wrap on the metal garage door itself before enclosing it with the silver foil one. I'm adding 2 HVAC trunks in my garage. I have a 3 ton unit only needed a 2 ton for the house with original knowledge I was adding this space as a heated/cooled area. 😃 Definate approvement in batt insulation which is what I was planning. Thank you for the great idea and installation tips!!!!
That looks really nice. I already used a good insulating kit years ago, but this would finish it off very well. I hope the tape holds up. That would be my main concern.
Wow, just stumbled on your channel. I had no idea this was even possible. I'm in California its always hot. I would love to try this for my home. Hope it works for the heat. Thank you for sharing.
Joyce, we used it for an travel trailer in Arizona. We installed the tinfoil bubble wrap on all windows and skylights. Are air conditioner actually stopped running for hours at a time in the middle of the summer. There was so much heat gain thru the windows. I put shade cloth in sunscreen frames for all the windows of a home we had there, the kits can be bought at Home Depot.
Tape is holding up so far. I open and close my door at least once every day. Spring and summer is coming. The door will remain in the open position for longer periods of time. I will do an update at that time.
@@tnt2938 Glad to hear it, I just hate having to go back over something that I've done and that's why I suggested using a little more tape, the xtra cost is insignificant and makes doubly sure it holds, good luck.
@@tnt2938 At least you can use the tape again and again. I recently did a lot of porcelain tiling and have too much left over, trouble is the outlet I purchased them from does not take returns and refund (understandably, it's a clearance centre for discontinued stock) so I'm stuck with them and doubt that I'll find them a use. At least they won't deteriorate, should last as long as the Pyramids.
BS My garage doors have been up over 10 years, are used at least twice a day and the bolts have never been retightened. And they are not the least bit loose.
You will usually need to adjust your spring tension to compensate the weight, to make door easier to lift. Probably not much with this bubble type, but most definitely with foam panel inserts.
Great job, thank you for sharing! I came to say the same thing about the emissivity of surfaces for IR readings. A work around is placing a patch of black tape on the surface you are going to measure. If you search emissivity it will explain the science. Thanks again for filming and sharing your work!
@@tnt2938 it's been the mildest of winters here in North Central Wisconsin. Our temps have been in the +35F to +40F range. But November was a 'balmy' -25F to -45F with windchills. Usual temps now thru February would be closer to what we experienced this past November. Things are a bit topsy-turvy this winter
This might be a silly question but why not have the excess insulation overlap the other section of insulation? Wouldnt that ensure that no air leaks between the panels?
Ive seen quite a few videos of garage door insulation using various materials and each type will add weight to the door, and none of the videos seem to take this weight into account. Doesn’t the door springs need adjustment?
This insulating material only added a couple of pounds. My door felt the same opening manually and does not come down on its own. If you were using a hard foam insulator i would say yes you need to have a tech adjust your spring. Do not attempt to adjust your spring yourself. they can be deadly.
Hi - you mentioned something about an "outside seal" on the garage door - maybe I missed it but did you do that in this video? Great job on the install btw!
Wondering if the garage ceiling and walls are insulated or does that matter? I just want to warm it up in there so I can wear a long sleeve instead of a coat….
I am sure my garage is insulated as part of my house is above it. Any insulating of a steel door should provide some measurable difference. It does not hurt to try for this small cost. Mine still looks like the day i installed it.
How well does this work in the summer for keeping your shop cool? Would it be worth it to install this for a west facing garage that gets beat up by the sun in the summer time? Will it make a difference
I am sitting in my garage right now at 22.8 degrees Celsius. Outside it is 33. Yesterday at 38 degrees outside it was 27.8. That is with no ac running. So basically a 10 degree difference. Very worth it.
Even after cutting the barrier at each seam it fits tight together. the door itself also has a small lip in the mold to prevent rain and wind from coming in.
thats actually not foil backed bubble wrap (they do actually have the its garbage crap not worth using). That is Double Sided Foil Foam Core. Just to make sure people get the right thing.

I am in Florida ,does it also repell heat from the outside to stay cooler inside ?
Yes keeps my garage 10 degrees Celsius cooler without adding any air conditioning

Insulate in the fall, then it is done for the winter.
