Step 1: Choosing the Right Insulation

Choosing the right insulation depends on the complexity of the job, your budget, and the type of garage:

• Detached garage • Attached garage • Heated garages • Garages with a living space above

Step 2: Mark the Door

Begin by planning where the fasteners will go. Make two marks on each door panel, positioning them 12 inches in from each side and centered vertically.

Step 3: Apply Double-Sided Tape

Apply double-sided tape along the marked areas. This will help secure the insulation in place.

Step 4: Attach Retainer Clips to Tape

Place retainer clips onto the double-sided tape. These clips will hold the insulation securely.

Step 5: Measure Door Panel

Measure the dimensions of each door panel. Precise measurements are crucial for cutting the insulation to the right size.

Step 6: Cut Insulation to Size

Using the measurements, cut the insulation material to fit each panel perfectly.

Step 7: Tuck Insulation into the Door Panels

Carefully tuck the cut insulation pieces into the door panels. Make sure they fit snugly.

Step 8: Fasten Retention Clip

Finally, fasten the retention clips over the insulation to ensure it stays in place.
