I have a double wide garage door, is there a kit availible this.

[owenscorning]

We know that one package is good for a garage door up to 16 feet wide. Based on the information listed the total garage door width would be around that width, so one package should be enough. One package is good for a single garage door. Double-wide doors for 2 cars will require 2 packages.

does this work ONLY on uninsulated STEEL doors? would it work on wooden garage doors?

[owenscorning]

Correct. The Garage Door Insulation Kit won't work on the wood door because there are no tracks to help support the insulation.

I installed one of these kits on my garage door. It held up okay until the weather turned warm. That's when the adhesive started letting go. I had several pieces of insulation fall from the door completely and some that we're hanging half on / half off. I followed the directions carefully and wound up with a mess. Save your money. This kit is not a long term solution.

Just installed this kit. Very easy to do. Seems to have made a difference already, but long term we'll see. Outside of door measures 110F and inside measures 90 on insulation on my infrared thermometer.

my garage feels like its over 150 deg in the summer and I bet those adhesive strips would melt completley off. Im using double bubble foil and sheet metal screws instead.

I put this stuff on my garage door and haven't notice a bit of difference in temp. It was 51 degree in my garage before I started and 50 the next day after it was installed. Out side temp was relatively the same.

how do you keep a draft from coming through the sides of the garage door?

[nrgsaver]

What they don't mention is fiberglass is a known carcinogen and shows the unsuspecting homeowner installing this without a dustmask.

Second, since insulation has an R factor (resists the flow of heat), in a hot climate with a South facing garage door, it will only serve to pass on the heat radiated by the metal door. What you really need is a radiant barrier, not insulation. More info on our page.
