Why are garage foams so expensive!

Nice

Nice & helpful video! So you lowered garage temp by about 20+ degrees. What do you estimate the material costs for this project? Also how many man & child labor hours did you estimate? Thanks

Nice video but turn off the music!

I’m more worried about the huge gapes around my garage door that let light through and a bunch of leaves 😭

I am watching from Canada and would have loved to see winter weather difference of outside nd inside.

Carlos, your channel popped up on my TV screen today, I subscribed your channel. Great job. Hope to see more subscribers and more videos. Your little girls are so big, I remembered your first daughter was born not too long ago, time flies and teleports. Good luck.

Great video. Thanks a lot. Saludos desde Florida!

Pretty good installation. However, more emphasis should be placed on how to adjust the door spring due to the added weight of the insulation materials.

@CarlosWorkshopHaven You do realize the shaft is damaged and you only made it worse by over tightening the set screws. Square peg in a round hole? The reason why you had a problem unwinding the original spring and had to remove the end bearing plates, the shaft should be able to slide though on either side. You should probably take this video down before someone decides to try this on their own and end up like your mask.

Amazing. I’m about to pay someone $500 tomorrow to do this and now I wish I’d tried to learn myself

I really like this info because help you to do it by yourself👍

Very well explained.Thanks for the tips and tricks! 💯

Great quality video with excellent instructions that are easy to follow. You earned yourself a sub. Keep it up!

Great video! Do you have to re- balance the garage door with the added weight?

Do you have to readjust the springs on the door? I want to add insulation but im not touching those springs.

FYI, those infrared thermometers have an emissivity setting that would need to be adjusted in order to be accurate when changing back and forth between different surfaces. For example the difference in reflectiveness between the painted door panel and the shiny insulation would probably be substantial. When I worked on engineering projects with these temp guns, our solution was to put a piece of masking tape on all of the different surfaces that we wanted to check and only shoot the laser in that spot. Then set your gun to the emissivity of masking tape which is e=.92. This keeps the measurements more accurate. Also, I didn't catch why you decided not to use spacers to form an air gap like you mentioned in the beginning. You could simply cut small pieces of a thinner foam and glue them in various spots on the interior side of the big foam piece before you mount them in the door panel.

Nice! Good deal buying from Amazon. I bought the same unit but from the online website. It was put to good use during the recent extreme heat. On a few 100+ days it was definitely working hard to keep things cool inside. Your installation looks very neat. I also added a surge protector (Rectorseal RSH -50) on the disconnect for the condenser. 👍👍👍

Noobie on garage doors here. A few questions: You mentioned about adjusting the torsion or something? Is it because of the weight added? Would have loved to see the door open and close and how the insulation handled it. Finally, can this work with just the foil only?

Nice, I was thinking of using the gold foil personally as it would be an easier install. But this looks great. Actually looks better that the original door

Great video, love guys like you that share their knowledge. Thank you 🙏

dumb question . Can the door be open and closed without affecting the insulation?? Thinking of doing this to my garage

Put a mini split in your garage now

Thanks for sharing !!!

What were this gray and green panels you put up during the last step. Excellent video.

AWESOME video. Well done. Best one on KZbin for insulating my garage door!

I have an electric car charging overnight. I think this insulation will make my garage a desired place to stay in winter, but might trap all the heat generated by the EV charging and cause some safety issues in summer.

What I'd like to know is where to buy my own door and hardware. I want to replace my garage door but I am more than comfortable with doing it myself. It seems like garage doors and hardware are very closely guarded resources that meant to not be accessible by DIYers.

So, was the foam scored already providing the flexibility to bend it into the panels or did you score them yourself.

One tip on the outside trim is, if you have gaps, pull down the trim enough to apply sealant between the trim and garage fascia. Otherwise, expansion and contraction will simply cause the sealant to separate, look terrible, and stop being of much utility.

Florida Man checking in 😁Is it safe to assume this would help my AC System in the fact that my air handler is in my garage, which means all that radiant garage heat is soaking into the metal of the handler? If this would help in ANY way with the overall cooling efficiency of my house, it may be worth my time and effort. GREAT video, and as some others said, a video on how to re-balance the torsion arm on the garage door would be VERY helpful.

10 degrees? Not worth it.

A good video, and very helpful. I will certainly be giving this procedure consideration for my garage. One thought though: you mentioned adjusting the torsion spring on the garage door to re-balance it. It would be nice to see how that was done. If that would have been too much for this video, perhaps "future Carlos" could have mentioned a second video in the future?

It takes alot of work but will pay off every time you step into the garage! 24 degree difference can be felt instantly!

Thank you for this informative video. I live in LHC, AZ where it HOT ALOT!!! My Garage has no windows or man door. I put the styrofoam panels in 3years ago, but didn’t use the reflectix. I will be pulling the panels out this winter, and doing the install the way you showed in this video. I also discovered my garage lid is not insulated, so will be having an insulation company come blow some insulation in. My garage has been averaging 110 degrees this summer!!! 🥵🥵🥵 I’m considering putting in a solar powered attic exhaust fan too. Any other helpful hints to cool the garage down would be much appreciated!!! Thank you for this great video

Why garage doors don’t just come fully insulated and well sealed is beyond me

That background music was very irritating and unnecessary. Good otherwise.

how much did you spend on materials?

Using a FLIR type camera would have nice for over all heat.

Great video. But remember the insulation affects the weight of the garage door. You may need to adjust your spring to assist the garage door motor.

I have done about the same installation, but instead white styrofoam I have been using Pro Select R-Matte Plus-3, 1.5 in. x 48 in. x 8 ft. R-9.6 Foam Insulation Board. Same amount of time and efforts, much more outcome. As a first layer I used the same Radiant barrier with air pockets. For Houston heat I got just shy of 40 degree difference. Just my advice.

Carlos Dios bendiga a tus preciosas hijitas y a tu familia ❤

Great video! Thanks for taking the time to make it easy to follow, but chock full of useful information.

Wwwwwwoooouuuu great idea !!!

Nice!! We all need extra space!!

I just finished my garage makeover. Insulation on the garage door. It’s 105 outside now but with portable ac going it’s keeping the inside around 79 The ac unit cycles off from time to time

great idea!! i want to get one of those for my garage

Nice idea for more space and organization👍🏻

I didn't see you add a foam spacer in the video. Did you decide not to include that in the install?
