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).
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. Keep up the videos, love you guys finding solutions for all audiences!
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.
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.
How affective is this solution in winter? It gets quite cold here in Germany, so I am looking for a solution like this for my home garage. I would assume the moisture build up between this material and the cold garage door would not be good in the long run.
As long as you don’t mark it up a crap ton being a middleman. As a product developer one of my Least favorite things is devolved product to support too many hands needing to pull honey out of the pot. Hook and loop stick on scares me. Stick on hook and loop is NOT permanent.
Ok cool idea, but question for you now because my garage door has hurricane bars (struts as you call it). Those hurricane bars are somewhat bowed downward in the center. With this going the entire width of the door, how will this look?
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 ✅
Function over form on this one I'm afraid. Would be difficult to make a product that looks better and like he said, this will save them a lot of money every year in electric bills alone.
Appreciate the detailed breakdown! Just a quick off-topic question: I have a SafePal wallet with USDT, and I have the seed phrase. (behave today finger ski upon boy assault summer exhaust beauty stereo over). How should I go about transferring them to Binance?

There are insulated doors and there are insulated doors. The latter is very spendy.
"Having the foam also with this won't make a difference" hmm, doubt it, that foam underneath is increasing the R value
I kinda thought the same. Not sure how it wouldn’t. But maybe we are missing something
I've never understood "heat rejection" but I have known for years that people use thin, foil faced survival blankets to keep heat in.
Got 3" thick foam pieces on my garage door. Cost like $350.
Closed cell? Open cell? How did you adhere it? What protects it from the kids, etc.?

Impeccable timing. I'm insulating my garage.
Holy spam comments batman
Right
All ad revenue went to the bots.
Any idea what the R value is? For those northern climates.
Did you have a before and after temp difference? Wondering how much more it helps the temperature with form insulation already in place.
I agree some thermal imagines of a before and after would have been more of what we would expect for OG!
He kinda mentioned waiting till hot summer for a true numbers test. Makes sense
ROI on this product is probably 40 years lol

Why not but an insulated door. The coat is basically the same.
Is getting a new insulated garage door really $1500 installed?
That is a nice install and it does wok well!.

Would this benefit garage door that faces north and never gets sun? For summer and winter?

Ugly, not og spec

Yeah I know what you mean, a bit wrinkly 🤔
I think they did pretty good making it look good considering. I think it’s a very good product and deserves to be on the OG shelf
It looks fine at OG HQ, but the wrinkles on your dad's would drive me crazy.
Ooof not a very clean setup
we are going to show you....... that we missed leg day.. I am only joking. He reminds me of myself.
Wonder if any of these women/spammers that are commenting are single 😂
