I did the same as you the 1st time. I hung it vertically. When the door rolled up, the insulation grew in length. My doors are 12ft tall though. It made a 15 degree difference in temp. Checked door with thermo gun, then with insulation on. Well worth the effort.
Im north of houston a little ways. My shop is a 25x50 and insulated. Unfortunately the only non-insulated part is my giant 18x18 roll up door and it faces due west. After 2:00 in the summer it gets 110+ degrees inside of my shop. I cant hardly even use my shop it gets so bad. I can't wait to try this out
I’m in Kingwood and it made a big difference my shop. 6 doors facing west 12’x 14’ tall. 20 ton AC couldn’t keep up, it does now. I also put some AC duct between the door and wall at the top to fill in the gap when the door is down. That stopped the draft. The duct is loose and moves as the door goes up and gets larger in diameter, then drops back in place when door goes down. Not perfect, but it helps
2 years later, so I have a question and hope you see. I live in Texas and most summer days are pretty intense. How has the spray adhesive held up? I have radiant barrier insulation everywhere in my shop but the doors (3 - 10x8s and 1 - 12x12). This is the way I have thought about installing some for the doors, but I have worried that the spray adhesive wouldn't hold up.
If you use the doors often the spray adhesive can come loose from time to time. I have had to raise a corner and respray it a couple times. Nothing to it really. I have wondered if rubber cement might work better in some of the areas prone to come loose. But I have not tried it yet.
@@BingWoodworking Thanks for the fast reply. Tacking down pieces isn't bad, I was more worried about finding the whole sheet laying on the floor and having to start over. Thank you for the video and the reply!
@@WiredCustomsSpeedShop I currently use 1/2 EPS with 1 side radiant barrier with magnets. The sheer number of magnets required to keep the insulation in place is quite high (higher than what I have). Even with the doors down, they are blown off in thunderstorm type winds.
Love the video, one question though. I seem to have a TON of air flowing in along those side rails on the extreme outside of the rails I can use spray foam for a seal, but the inner I can’t so the door will roll. What if anything are you using to stop that flow of air between the actual door itself and the rail?
Thank you for the video. I have 2 roll up doors that the sun shines directly on most of the day.. I will be doing this job Very soon. I even have left over insulation material from building the shop hopefully it's enough.
I have had to spray some adhesive from time to time on the corners and ends of the insulation. It will come loose a little with wear and tear. But it takes 30 seconds to spray some adhesive and press it back into place.
Great video. Will this also help with cold weather, keeping some of the cold air from coming in? My shed is insulated except for the roll up door which seems to act as a cold sink keeping the shed cold even with a portable heater going.
A friend....or a helper....or a friend, who helps.....lol. Good video. Have been considering this for my garage. Just wondering if it doesn't work out right or I decide to remove insulation, how big of a mess would the adhesive/insulation leave behind...
It was very effective for me this last winter. Note, I did have to pay attention to the weather seal on the bottom of the door to make sure there wasn't any gaps. Also, the guide rails on the side of the door tend to have holes in them towards the bottom. I sealed those up with some tape.
It’s easy and inexpensive. Could always redo it. But honestly, if you do it right, it should hold. Only other alternative I can think of would be removable panels.
When I opened the door a lot I would occasionally have to apply more adhesive to the bottom corners. Nothing catastrophic and not so often that it was a pain. Just every few times a year
LIQUID NAILS® FUZE*IT® All Surface Construction ... is what I used, stuff is amazing and can be used even what is cold, even damp. Check it out before using spray adhesive that will dry out and let loose. Do it once and be done.
I ordered one roll of 48”X50FT insulation with 2 cans of the spray you used. Hopefully I will have enough and thanks for your video. I will make sure to have a helper, a friend or a family member 🤣
I had to respray some of the corners with spray adhesive. The heat and the wear and tear caused it to come loose there. But over all it held up well. I only had to give extra attention to a couple small areas.
I use reflective roll insulation. here is an amazon link for it. This is an affiliate link that gives me commision but does not cost anything extra for you. amzn.to/3FDZdy5
I moved roughly a year after install. It lasted that long at minimum. One of the lower corners came loose once and all I had to do was re-glue it with the same spray adhesive.
Thanks for the video, I was wondering if doing this made a difference. Gonna have to put this on the list. Man that list is getting long and like u i have no helper. Cheers
I LOVED your video. We were going to bite the bullet and just get insulated doors. I decided to make an insulated cover using Insul Brite. Your way is MUCH better. My husband will do it. I am his helper. We have neighbors who will help ANYTIME!!! Lucky us. I have a question. You have two links for the insulation. One is for Smart SHIELD and the other is for Reflective White Foam. I'm guessing the Smart SHIELD is MUCH better, albeit costs more. I would have done them vertically, so I'm glad I learned from your video not to do it that way. By the way, this is for an indoor pickleball court!!!!
Awwwww......Thank You for Your demonstration.... I was wondering if I could do to my Roll up door which is A lot similar to Yours... This exact thing. But... I figured let me see if I can find a UA-cam video with a demonstration and to see if this kind of a door could be insulated..... Don't Worry about Friends, or Family to Help...I've got the Same problem 😂🤣 They're ALL ...MIA When it comes to needing help when I need the help..... Usually I do everything myself.... But I turn to UA-cam to see if I could find better ways or cheaper way or if there is a way to do any of the things I'm trying to accomplish but thank you so very much for your illustrated video it helps my mind think it can be done. 👍🤩

Liked your video. Was wondering how it was still holding up?
It held up good while I was still there. I have since moved about a year ago, so I can not say.

I saw another guy also put on a lot of small magnets to keep them on, I am thinking about doing that way

How has the adhesive held up to heat? Did it come apart?
It held up to the heat pretty good. Using the door often can cause it to loosen on the edges.
BLUETEX 2mm pro is great for this job,,,,put the silverside towards the outside and it reflects the heat away really good.
thank you

I am not sure on that. I dont want to say something incorrect.
Great video👋👋👋
What is max thickness of insulation you can use?
Really depends on the door. 3/8 or 1/2 inch would do ok. Plus the material has some give to it.
Thank you for the video. I have 2 roll up doors that the sun shines directly on most of the day.. I will be doing this job Very soon.
I even have left over insulation material from building the shop hopefully it's enough.
Glad it helped
How's this holding up after a few years of use?
Hi, before I do my doors I wanted to ask you now that it has been 11 months how has that held up for you thus far?
I have had to spray some adhesive from time to time on the corners and ends of the insulation. It will come loose a little with wear and tear. But it takes 30 seconds to spray some adhesive and press it back into place.
Great video. Will this also help with cold weather, keeping some of the cold air from coming in? My shed is insulated except for the roll up door which seems to act as a cold sink keeping the shed cold even with a portable heater going.
Yes the insulation would work for both heat and cold.
A friend....or a helper....or a friend, who helps.....lol. Good video. Have been considering this for my garage. Just wondering if it doesn't work out right or I decide to remove insulation, how big of a mess would the adhesive/insulation leave behind...
Would be a decent mess. But acetone or goo gone wolf take care of it.
Wonder how it held up after 2 years, when this video was made?
I have moved from this location a year after the video. It held up good with a few extra sprays of adhesive in the corners from time to time.
Has it stayed stuck to the door after being rolled up?
one of the corners got loose after some wear and tear in the summer heat. All it took was to spray some more adhesive and it stuck good again.
This is the answer to my question 👍it will last good to know.
thanks for sharing. how effective do you think this would be for keeping the cold* out?
It was very effective for me this last winter. Note, I did have to pay attention to the weather seal on the bottom of the door to make sure there wasn't any gaps. Also, the guide rails on the side of the door tend to have holes in them towards the bottom. I sealed those up with some tape.
Exactly 💯👍🎯 That's why I wanted to do this!
I've got the same door but 2 of them. Was thinking of this solution as well but worried over time it wouldn't hold
It’s easy and inexpensive. Could always redo it. But honestly, if you do it right, it should hold. Only other alternative I can think of would be removable panels.
Hello I seen it’s been years now is the adhesive still holding??
When I opened the door a lot I would occasionally have to apply more adhesive to the bottom corners. Nothing catastrophic and not so often that it was a pain. Just every few times a year

thanks for the tip. I will try that
What kind of insulation did you use? I have two 10’ X 10’ roll up doors
I put a link for it down in the description of the video
Will one roll at 48”X50FT be enough for two 10’X8’ roll up doors
I ordered one roll of 48”X50FT insulation with 2 cans of the spray you used. Hopefully I will have enough and thanks for your video. I will make sure to have a helper, a friend or a family member 🤣
How long does it last with daily door usage?
I never used this door daily so I can’t really answer. Mostly will depend on adhesive power
LMAO! You're funny, dude! Great video. But what would REALLY be great for your video is if you had a friend... or helper! 🤣
Thanks! And you aren’t kidding, I could really use a friend or helper sometimes.
1 year later . How is it holding up.
I had to respray some of the corners with spray adhesive. The heat and the wear and tear caused it to come loose there. But over all it held up well. I only had to give extra attention to a couple small areas.
Got details about the insulation you used? Brand name? Where'd you get it?
Here is a link. I got it from Amazon. SmartSHIELD -3mm 48"x50Ft... www.amazon.com/dp/B01BDWY93M?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share
Great video, what can of insulation you use on you project,
I use reflective roll insulation. here is an amazon link for it. This is an affiliate link that gives me commision but does not cost anything extra for you. amzn.to/3FDZdy5
How long did this last?
I moved roughly a year after install. It lasted that long at minimum. One of the lower corners came loose once and all I had to do was re-glue it with the same spray adhesive.
48"x50Ft. will do a 10 by 10 door?
10x10 = 100 sq ft. 48 inches by 50ft = 200 sq ft. yes you should have enough to do 2 of them. Unless my math is way off??
Thanks for the video, I was wondering if doing this made a difference. Gonna have to put this on the list. Man that list is getting long and like u i have no helper. Cheers

vertical could work. My thinking was that if there was any slack in it, it would move further vertically if that makes sense.
Awwwww......Thank You for Your demonstration....

What adhesive did you use?
here is a link for it amzn.to/3vaLNFT
Thank you
You're welcome
great job!
Thanks!
I like your method above all the others that I’ve seen on UA-cam😊
A friend and a lil helper would have made it easier indeed .
thanks
Step 1: find a friend
Step 2: 😂
Or a tape measure
true that
TSP works best.
I think you need a friend
dont we all??!!
Magnets
You need a friend or maybe a helper. I became lonely watching this video because I don't have a friend or a helper either
Such is the life of a craftsman that has a shop at home
You should maybe talk less and you might have friend helpers
Thanks for watching. Sorry you dont like the commentary. :(
