Insulating a metal garage door is a great way to improve the energy efficiency of your garage and keep it more comfortable year-round.

Here’s a step-by-step guide from Fort Lauderdale Garage Door on how to insulate a metal garage door by yourself:

  1. Measure the garage door panels: Measure the height and width of each panel on your garage door. You will need this information to determine the amount of insulation material you will need to purchase.
  2. Choose the insulation material: There are a variety of insulation materials that can be used for garage doors, including foam board, reflective insulation, and fiberglass batts. Choose the material that best fits your budget and insulation needs.
  3. Cut the insulation material: Use a utility knife or scissors to cut the insulation material to the size of the garage door panel.
  4. Install the insulation material: For foam board insulation, use a construction adhesive to attach it to the garage door panel. For reflective insulation, use double-sided tape to secure it to the panel. For fiberglass batts, fit them into the panel and use duct tape to hold them in place.
  5. Seal the edges: Once the insulation is installed, seal the edges of the panels with weatherstripping tape to prevent air leaks.
  6. Install a garage door insulation kit: If you want to make the job even easier, consider purchasing a garage door insulation kit. These kits typically include pre-cut insulation pieces that fit directly into the panels, as well as all the necessary weatherstripping and adhesive.
  7. Test the door: Once the insulation is installed, test the garage door to ensure that it opens and closes smoothly without any obstructions.

By following these steps from Fort Lauderdale Garage Door, you can successfully insulate a metal garage door and enjoy a more comfortable and energy-efficient garage space.
