How to attach insulation panels to a garage door.

Remove dust and cobwebs with a utility brush. Attach two retainer clips for large panels. The instructions tell you how to measure out everything and mark it but let s just say you measure to find the center of each panel on your door then you half it again. Push insulation flat against door and feel for retention clips.

Alternatively use two layers. Adhere insulation to garage door open your adhesive and start adhering your cut insulation to the door. Panel sizes may differ along the door so measure each one as you go rather than pre cutting all the panels based on one measurement. Then secure it to the retaining pins photo 3.

Use 1 1 2 inch thick insulation for doors with metal framing and 2 inch thick material for doors without it. Repeat until all the panels are insulated. Fit the cut insulation into the panel with the vinyl side facing into the garage. If needed you can use a little bit of masking or duct tape to help you hold each foam panel in place as the glue dries.

Cut a sheet of rigid foam insulation to fit each section. With the foiled side facing towards you slide one edge of the insulation into one side of the railings to hold it firm. Cut foam insulation to size now that you know the dimensions for each panel on your garage door cut the foam insulation to size. Many garage doors will have metal railings 1 or 2 inches 2 5 or 5 1 cm deep that can be used to hold the insulation in place.

Press the insulation into place if you have panel railings. With fiberglass batt insulation wrapped in vinyl your garage will stay comfortable year round. Instead of adhesives you will use a puncture pin system to mount the panels to your door. Measure the height and width of the panel and mark the center of each panel with a pencil or marker.

Use clean water and a rag to remove. Apply double stick adhesive at the mark and attach the retainer clip. Slice inch slits through the insulation above the retention clips and attach the front of the retention clips to the back pieces to secure the insulation panels. Once the insulation is cut to size you push the panes over the pins and attach the pin cover.

Repeat this process for each panel. Use a marker to place an x in each place so you can come back quickly and just attach all of the adhesive.
