I am looking into insulating my garage door. The front of the house faces West and gets damn hot in the summer. I know this will also help in the winter to keep it warmer.. Any suggestions?? The cost is 225.00

A buddy did his with some material that I believe he purchased at Home Depot or Lowes. It definitely helps. Then again for about 4x the cost you quoted you could have a 2" insulated garage door like mine...1970 Bronco

My neighbor did the Home depot thing. Turned out well, thinking of doing it myself. My brother in Washington State has the thick insulated door. Man is that thing quiet going up and down. Must be nice to have a warm garage.1970 w/89 5.0, np 435/203/205, 456/locker/ARB, 4 wheel disc brakes w/hydroboost, 5.5" lift w/ext.radius arms, 3" bod lift, RS 9000's, tilt column, Hydro assist steering, 39.5" pitbull's on H1's. 4 link rear suspension. Hey brother, can you spare some change, I need parts....Comment

I used what we call bubble wrap in the HVAC trade. It's heavy duty silver bubble wrap. I just cut it and sprayglued it to the inside of the sections. Made a huge difference during the summer(east facing door). Doesn't make that much of a difference in the winter because of the air vents in the walls(combustion air for the furnace and waterheater). It's only about a 1/4" thinck and is really easy to work with. Not sure on the cost as I got mine from work. Oh and it's a metal door by the way.71, 302, 435, 20, spool rear, ARB front, 35's,3.5sl 2"bl

I guess I never thought about the benifits of a cold garage before.

Holy pencil-top erasers batman!
The Falcon-Foam stuff is what I've seen before. It definitely helps and it also helps contain noise.1970 Bronco
