BEST WAY OF INSULATING A GARAGE DOOR. FULL TUTORIAL

- The best / Easiest way of Insulating A Garage Door! I found and easy DIY garage door insulation installation kit and man am I happy with it. These foam panels are the best way to insulate a garage door for sure and only costs less than $100 to insulate a single car garage. Here in Hawaii we have some hot days and the need for garage insulation is high. I plan to put an AC the garage and with an uninsulated door money would just be pouring out. Air conditioning a garage requires good insulation to be efficient. This kit is a 1 person DIY that is easy and affordable. Plan for about 2-3 hours with minimal tools. I love to detail cars and there is nothing worse than sweating like crazy in the garage when its just not necessary. The afternoon sun beats down on the garage door and the temperature in my garage can reach 100 degrees. After the garage door insulation it does not get over 85. When I get the AC rolling in there I suspect it will easily stay at my desired temp. This kit is great for a garage in hot weather as well as garage in the cold weather too. This garage door insulation will reduce your energy bill and pay for itself in no time.

UPDATE*** I have had the insulation since 3/2021 and it works great. My AC system easily brings the temp down and the garage door remains cool to the touch even on the hottest days. I am very happy and would not change a thing. There have been thousands of people who have done a DIY install and I have not heard any complaints. These installs have been done in both hot and cold areas with great results.
TIPS:
This is a very easy DIY project that can be accomplished by all skill levels.
Measure twice and cut ounce. Wasting this product will leave you short. Be sure of your cuts.
If remove bolts for the foam panel to be inserted. Replace bolts immediate after installing foam and before moving to next panel.
Take your time. For first few panels bend panel gently to avoid creasing it. After your comfort level is improved it will go faster.
If you plan to restore and or paint the door. Paint areas prior to installation of foam to avoid taping and extra work to protect the new foam panels.
After installing the insulation the door should freely and easily move up and down with no effort with the door opener disconnected. Test before and after the install. If door is difficult and heavy to move a spring adjustment may be necessary. My install as well as many others did not require this due to the light weight of this product. If you decide to adjust the spring be careful!

Here is everythingh I used in the video and additional info. www.hawaiidetailing.com/garagedoorinsulation
Good video. Insulating my garage door was a great investment. I didn't use a kit, but instead, used 4' x 8' panels of 3/4" Polystyrene with a radiant barrier from Lowes, and cut to fit. I used almost every inch of the panels and didn't have to worry about the look of it , because after I installed the panels, I covered each section using radiant barrier bubble wrap with aluminum HVAC tape. Lastly, I changed all the door hinges from 16 gage to 14 gage ($120 total) to ensure the added weight did not impact the mechanics of the door. Total cost of insulating an 18' and a 9' door was about $300.
Thanks for sharing
4 pounds of Styrofoam?
Doing this for my grandparents this Saturday this really help me feel confident !
Great to hear. Thanks for watching
How’d it go?
I love the detail and perfection you put into your projects!!!
Thank you so much!
Nice job, I was planning on doing my doors before summer. You small tips are always a big help. Thank you again,
You are welcome. Thanks for watching.
I went to Lowes and picked up three packages immediately. Easy install. Used my Ryobi diamond cut off saw for the cuts. Thanks for the video!
Good to hear. Thanks
What brand/ model did you but? Im looking for shiny white on one side and grooved styrofoam on the other
I had my doubt when the video first started, but it turned out amazing, can't wait to do it too
Thanks a lot. Garage is 10-15 degrees cooler now.
That is the cleanest and neatest garage I have seen!
Thanks.
Love this guys energy
Thanks. Thanks for watching the channel
Great video. That job looks great. Thanks!
I SUBSCRIBED for the relaxed vibes! 😎👍
Thanks I appreciate it
Loved the video man! I'm planning on doing this to my garage door. Definitely going to paint the needed area's first, save on all that taping off work! Any overspray will be covered up by white panels after they are in.
Yeah. Good idea. I did not plan on it but had to after the install. It really helps with keeping out the heat and keeping in the cool. Thanks for watching
Those garage doors look amazing.
Thanks a lot. I appreciate it.
I'm willing to bet that the insulation makes the door much quieter when rasing and lowering. Awesome video!
Yes it does. Thanks for watching
Best looking door insulation I’ve seen!
Thanks
Good video, I am totally going to do this to my garage. Keep that cold and heat out.
Wow, I don't know how I came across this video exactly, but I'm pretty stoked to watch more of your videos!
Glad you like them!
Thanks
New here, what a helpful video with direct advice and positive energy
Thanks for watching
You made that look so easy! Looks Great
Thanks a lot. It’s way cooler in there now.
Right on man! I appreciate you putting this video out. Looks like something I can handle.
Thanks. It’s not a hard job. Has been working great for me too.
Great video - exactly the help I needed.
Thanks
Appreciate the tip about the filler edge. Your door looks fantastic!
Thanks a lot. It’s a huge temperature improvement and sound as well. The afternoon sun beats right on that door so it was an oven. Thanks for watching and commenting.
@@HawaiiDetailing I like your content.
I'm in Phoenix. We've lived in this house 4 years and the garage is an oven in the summer and I want to make it so that I can work in it and keep my freezer powered and cold. My garage is about 540 square feet and I am looking at a mini-split AC. First step in that process is insulating it and it's going smoothly.
@@brettoberry3586 good to hear. I did a mini split install also. They are nice. I Have had them for years over here and they work great. I made a vid about the garage mini split install. Check it out.
Thanks! Watching from Central Texas
Thanks.
Looks amazing! Exactly what I was looking for. Thanks brotha🤙🏼
Thank you for watching
like your energy and presentation. good work and very pleasant.
Thank you so much 😀
Did the same yesterday! Thanks!
i like to see finally a clean and organized man !!!!!! i like all the tips.GOOD JOB!
Thank you.
Great video! This will really help me with my garage doors.
Thanks. I am glad you liked it.
I first found your station by looking for garage installation ideas . I ended up doing yours . All finished gonna go ahead and hit the metal with some white paint too !! 😂 yeah !!!
Awesome. Thanks for watching
Awesome attitude and great information!
Thanks a lot. I appreciate it.
You are cool and happy man. Thanks
Thank you too!
Thanks for the clear tutorial. Just got a house with my first garage ever. Definitely adding the insulation, if only for the noise reduction.
It’s worth it. Keeps my cold air in and I am sure heat too for the winter locations. It helps a lot with the noise too. Overall I am very happy with it. Thanks for watching
Killer garage door dude!
Thanks for watching and commenting.
Great work dude.. highly appreciated
Thanks
Nice job! Doing mine here in Florida in the next few weeks. Thank you!
Yeah it’s worth it. Glad I did it. Thanks for watching
I am thinking about doing the same in SWFL, but I am thinking that this should probably be combined with a radiant barrier like Reflectix pointing towards the inside of the garage door to keep the heat out and with an air gap. The insulation itself will help keep the cool air in when combined with a mini split system. Thoughts?
This was my first time seeing your content. Love your personality and spirit. You've earned a new sub.
Thanks a lot
Great job man
Absolutely positively fantastic
Thanks.
Honestly love your videos man! Love the vibe and your pace. Bravo! Keep it up!
I appreciate that!
Great job it looks really good
Thanks.
Awesome video, I just moved to a new house and failed to upgrade the doors to insulated doors. I moved from a house with insulated doors and the garage was much cooler. My new house the doors are like burners. The builder did insulate the garage, can't wait to get this done asap.
It helps a lot. I run the AC in my garage and the door is exposed to direct sunlight. It keeps a good bit of the heat out and the cold in. I am happy with it. Thanks for watching
@@HawaiiDetailing Do you know if you can buy it anywhere else other Amazon, its showing unavailable.
This really looks nice! I have wanted to do something like this since I started working in the garage, but I was worried about it being too heavy...
Easy DIY. I did not have any trouble with the weight added to the door. Just check that when door is disconnected from the opener that it moves up and down freely with out any effort. If it feels weighted down you may have to tighten the tensioner. Mine did not require any adjustment. This assumes that your tensioner is adjusted properly prior to the install. Hope that helps
That garage looks fantastic after all the upgrades and remodeling you have done. Very professional looking. I would love to do this insulation project to my own garage doors. I definitely need to get some insulation on those doors, more so for the winter than the summer but for both really. Great video and great review of a useful garage product.
Thanks a lot. I appreciate you following the channel. This insulation made a huge difference with sound and temperature. Thanks for watching.
I did this exact installation. It was easy and reasonable . Lowes had material for 62$ a pack of 8 panels . You’ll need 2 packs for a 2 car door . I say do it !
Did some simple lubrication on the garage, then found out I need a new bottom weather seal. Now I might as well just insulate this bad boy. Love it! Thanks for the tutorial! Cowabunga dude!
Awesome Job!
Thanks a lot.
wow that is the way to go looks awesome
Thanks
Satisfying. I’m vibing man
Good job! Thx for the video! 👍

Thanks. I appreciate it
You are the coolest brotha I've watched so far. Your videos are awesome lol. But I will definitely run my insulation from watching your work brotha, thank you!
Thanks I appreciate it.
Great work 😀
Thank you. Thanks for watching.
Awesome!! Thanks.
Our garage faces South in Louisiana. 🥵 Summer heat like an oven. Super easy to size & install. Easily 20F cooler in the Summer. Also a bit warmer in the Winter. So light weight it doesn’t affect the garage door opener operation. I also installed a Dryer vent upside down in the ceiling. This allows the power roof ventilator fan to pull any hot air in the garage out. I close it in the Winter.
Awesome. Thanks for sharing
Did not expect the jumping stomp! 😂 awesome job on the doors and great video brother
Thanks I appreciate it.
What is the name of the product & where did you get it? I love your results!

I know this is old, but you are one of the coolest dudes ive ever seen on TH-cam 🤙
Thanks. I appreciate it.
This guy is a vibe 😂 great video
Thanks.
Hats a good idea…I will paint and overspray if I want to the back of the door cuz I’ll paint it first then do the install. Aloha!
Thanks
Lmaooo the end part was hilarious!! I have the same problem, a single project will turn into a full on restoration project haha. Great video!! I was born and raised in honolulu but been living in the states for the past 20 years now. In Texas now, and the heat can get crazy hot in the garage.
Thanks for watching. Yeah gotta have the garage nice and cool.
Nice vid! Can you share details on what you did to paint the springs and the inside frame of the garage door please?
Would love for u to do a follow up with a thermal lens on this project. Thx !
I did the same thing with my garage door and added the bubble foil insulation between the door panels and the thicker sheets of insulation.
Nice. It works well. Keeps it cool here in the heat. Thanks for watching
I just started doing the bubble foil and will throw this kit on top. How did it all turn out for you? Worth it?
My husband did the same project 2 years ago & it has held up.
Thanks for watching and commenting
Nice garage!
Thanks
Great video!! I live in the country and it gets hot, but I'm okay with noice, I can turn on a bulldozer at 3am and no neighbors around to worry about
Thanks for watching
@@HawaiiDetailing , dude you are awesome, great attitude!!
Looks great. Love the video man. I can’t find this exact panel. Only the foam/reflective one
It’s reflective on one side and white on the other. Thanks for watching
Love it man! I have the karcher rig, thing FACKS! About to do the insulation as well bro, fired up! 👊🏻
Awesome. Good stuff
Thanks man! :)
Very nice! I did this at a previous house. Used the foam board and it was a bit of a pain but worked great. Amazon is out of stock on the product at the moment. Bummer!
I like mine too. Works well for the price and time.
You have the coolest video on YOU TUBE
Thanks a lot.
I need to come do some work with you brother lol 💪 you're quite handy that's good.....you the man great job 👏
Thanks a lot. I enjoy learning how to do new stuff. The process of researching the product, learning how to do the job right and then DIY is my thing. Doesn’t feel nearly as good (in my opinion) when you pay someone to do everything.
@@HawaiiDetailing so true brother.....same here I do it all my self
I had the repainting idea as soon as you started putting the panels in. You should have asked me. 😉
Hahaha. Thanks for watching
Nice!
I just replaced my garage door recently. It has a R-17 rating. It’s pretty sweet.
Yeah. It really makes a difference. Thanks for watching.
Our garage doors are also R17. When it is -30 out they do their job.
Could you share the link for the R-17 product? Lowes have R8. (Fiberglass?)
@@nafisajaghuri51 mine was ordered from a overhead door company
Great job and looks great, however it needs to be fire rated, hence the need for sheet metal to cover the foam pieces.
Just bought 16 panels... mahalo braddah
Yeah man. Thanks for watching the channel. Mahalo.
it looks good man !
Thanks
Great video! Love your energy & passion!! My wife and I were in O'ahu this past March and loved it! Cannot wait to get back!! Mahalo!!
Thanks a lot. I am glad you like the videos. Thanks for watching.
Nice!!
Thanks!
I watched your video, unfortunately for me, my wife watched your video. Shamefully I veered from your video and woe to the man with a scorned wife. So I took down the insulation and followed your video with the intensive fervor of a man on the edge of ledge. And VIOLA, It was done. Completed in a mere 3.57435, hours and 107 degree Texas sun on the dark painted, west facing, non-tree shaded double garage door of our new home. I now have a photo of you in my cooler garage for my inspiration. All kidding aside, I did follow your very will described instructions and it made the job easier. In my situation and probably most garage doors are this way, the upper lip (trough) is deeper, forcing the panel up into it and then pulling it down into the lower. I was having an issue getting to down into the lower trough once inserted as the panel left not wiggle room in thickness. I found using a wide popsicle stick worked great without damaging the panels. Thank you and i hope you found humor in my opening statements... Jack PS, NOW seems epoxying the floor is in her head.....Hmmm, where'd she get THAT idea...??? LOL
Hahaha. Yeah man. Funny. Glad you got it done. Thanks for watching
Did you feel the garage get cooler as you completed the insulation? Would putting a layer of foil lined bubble wrap reflective barrier over that be an option for you? How thin were the panels? Did they much weight?
