How To Attach Insulation Panels To A Garage Door

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.

How to attach insulation panels to a garage 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. Repeat this step until you have cut enough insulation to cover the entire door. Apply double stick adhesive at the mark and attach the retainer clip. Measure the height and width of the panel and mark the center of each panel with a pencil or marker.

Prepare the inside face of a one piece metal or wood door where adhesive is needed to attach the foam insulation. Use clean water and a rag to remove. Alternatively use two layers. Once the insulation is cut to size you push the panes over the pins and attach the pin cover.

Cut foam insulation to size now that you know the dimensions for each panel on your garage door cut the foam insulation to size. Use a marker to place an x in each place so you can come back quickly and just attach all of the adhesive. Adhere insulation to garage door open your adhesive and start adhering your cut insulation to the door. Cut a sheet of rigid foam insulation to fit each section.

The pins secure in place to a clean and dry door panel. With fiberglass batt insulation wrapped in vinyl your garage will stay comfortable year round. Then secure it to the retaining pins photo 3. Repeat this process for each panel.

Press the insulation into place if you have panel railings. Remove dust and cobwebs with a utility brush. 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. Attach two retainer clips for large panels.

That way you will end up with two spots on each panel. 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. Push insulation flat against door and feel for retention clips.

Instead of adhesives you will use a puncture pin system to mount the panels to your door. With the foiled side facing towards you slide one edge of the insulation into one side of the railings to hold it firm.
