    Thanks for the video. working on mine the next couple days. Question, do you do anything to shore up the gap on the bottom of the garage door? any recommendations? garage floor to the bottom of the garage door.

      I have had 2 garage doors in different houses have a good 4" strip on one side where the gasket does not exist between the garage door and cement floor. I have found that I can cut a piece of dense Styrofoam and just glue it to the bottom where it is missing. It works great. Stays in place and lasts a long time. Much cheaper fix then buying a whole new seal.

    Which way should I turn it if I want it to stay warmer in the winter and cooler in the summer? I'm in NC so winters are around 25 as a low and summers can get up to 100.

      In your situation I'd put the reflective side out you'll still get benefit of insulation but it'll reflect that summer heat better I'd think

    Thanks for the great video. I live in northern California, so the summertime is very hot and the winter can get down to 30°. Do you think it’s possible for me to rotate these from season to season? Meaning having the foil side in during the winter and flip it around during the summer?

    • @YourCouchsucks
      @YourCouchsucks  Рік тому

      I guess you could, though pulling them in and out may damage them,. That said insulation board isn't all that expensive so you could have extras on hand

    • @YourCouchsucks
      @YourCouchsucks  2 роки тому

      I haven't made any adjustments to mine. The insulation isn't overly heavy. If anything it actually helps my doors closer a bit tighter at the bottom edge

    Do you still use the foil tape if you are trying to keep your garage cool and are installing the foam boards with the foil side in? Or do you use some other type of tape?

    • @YourCouchsucks
      @YourCouchsucks  2 роки тому +2

      If you want to stay cooler because you live in a warmer area I'd put the foil side of the insulation facing the outside (reverse of what I did). I'd still use the foil tape to hold everything place

    • @YourCouchsucks
      @YourCouchsucks  3 роки тому

      If you're referring the "man\women door" not the overhead doors, not really sure? If it' not already an insulated core door and there isn't a windows I'd consider cutting some of the same insulation to that door size and then use double sides tape and tack it onto the door. I only have the overhead doors so.....

      Yeah prices suck in certain areas for sure!! But for $110 or so you can have a warmer or cooler garage without buying a $1000+ worth of insulated garage doors and then having them installed.
