Owens Corning Garage Door Insulation Kit

Good product and easy enough to install. I did 3 single doors. My doors are 9 feet wide by 8 feet high. These panels are designed for 22 inch panels so don't think you'll be able to install in a 8 foot door without extra effort. I'm in the process of taping the edges with Tyvek tape; fingers crossed that it will hold. Install the VHB on the door after cleaning the door. Rub it in hard so it squished out beyond the masking. Clean the flat area of the clip and install. Rub the clip hard. I followed other people's advice and put zip ties on the clips. It's super hot outside right now but it appears to be helping.

This is a great product. Easy to install. Makes a huge difference in temperature in the garage. Also works well to dampen the sounds from the street. However I do recceommend you buy some white duct tape to apply on the side edges to keep the product securely attached. It really depends on your garage design, but I found this to be helpful, and using white makes it it blend right in.

To sum it up for the quick glance, this product is great and if it’s falling out of your doors with or without gorilla tape you either have the wrong doors or you installed it wrong! For a more in depth review keep reading... I read a lot of reviews saying that they are disappointed as to how well this product holds up when using their garage doors. If you install it correctly on the right door(per the description, with channels in the door) it will work fine. I did insulated two doors with two of these kits in about 1.5 hours(without the final taping, which took more time than installing the insulation but worth it for both appearance and strength). Watch the install video and you will have no problems. Road noise is gone and as my master bedroom is above my garage I have already heard my air conditioner running significantly less. I cannot wait to see what happens in the winter time. A couple of tips for install: 1)When you cut the panels to size, per the video, leave at least an extra inch both horizontally and vertically for a snug fit. This is the case when insulating walls, I only say that because most people have never insulated walls before and it is important to help hold insulation in place until either you cover the insulation or attach backing to the studs. 2)Don’t worry about measuring the placement of the pins when sticking them to the door. Eye ball it in the middle of each half panel. Exact measurements are over kill. 3)When placing the pin on the door line them all so the gap in the pin is horizontal. For reason see tip #5. 4)After placing the insulation panel in before cutting horizontally per my previous tip, make sure to push the whole insulation panel upward. Gravity pushes things down so to keep the panel in if you push it slightly upward then cut horizontally on the back pin it will help keep the panel under the top channel better. This does help keep the panel in place when the doors are in operation. 5)Per the install video it says cut an “X” to push the pin through the insulation. I suggest after setting the pin per the above tip #3 cut a single small cut horizontally. This will make it easier to push the connecting pin on so the vinyl doesn’t get caught in the pin for a secure connection. 6)Finally, add 2 rolls of 3” wide white gorilla tape to your cart(3 if doing two doors, it takes about 1.5 rolls at 25yds per door). This will take a couple more hours of install time and cost about another $50 but it will make the project look cleaner and will add extra strength to the panel install. These will be on here for a lifetime now. All in all, glad I bought this and my only complaint would be include larger latex gloves for install. I ripped those up putting them on, large hands are a blessing and a curse ;-)

Great product, if you have the thin aluminum garage door, the sound dampening is quite noticeable. Installation is easy but time consuming, read the instructions and follow the recommendations. I opted to clean my garage door prior to insulating to avoid buildup of mold under the insulation. Highly recommend this product, I am looking forward to seeing the difference in the winter months, when temperatures drop below -10C.

Short version: If you are looking at this product then you should buy it. It works that well. That’s my simple endorsement. There is no doubt you will be pleased with the results. Just make sure to use duct tape to help keep them in place. Longer version: My wife was skeptical, to say the least, but I managed to convince her and she finally gave in, if only to appease me. After installing the insulation in Fall of 2019 and going through winter and now summer she is a die hard fan of the insulation in the garage. Temperatures are warmer in the winter and cooler in the summer. Also and an added side benefit is that it makes the garage door operation quieter. That was and unexpected bonus as the garage is below our master bedroom. I even got a “you were right” which is saying something. Notes: If I had a complaint it would that the clips to install the insulation to the doors is insufficient. They fall off often. However, another reviewer recommended using wide white duct tape to attach the edges of the insulation to the garage door for extra support. That reviewer was 100% spot on. Just get the duct tape you will not regret it. Get two rolls for a double car garage. TL;DR; If you think you need this, then you do.
