How To Insulate Your Garage Door

okay now to do this job you really don't need a lot of tools this is you better be something whether it's a square like this was some kind of a straightedge a piece of wood or whatever you have so you can cut the insulation perfectly straight you're going to need a pen to mark on there a pencil will not work because it's a it's like a very shiny material so little off with that we're going to need a razor blade was something like a utility knife was something very very sharp to cut through here and you want to make sure is very sharp because if it's dull you know the one that rip in the paper and it's going to look terrible so make sure you have a nice sharp razor blade we're going to make sure we have something to measure the exact length of the insulation piece so I'm going to put it in here and last but not least you're going to need a ratchet and I believe this is a 10 millimeter wrong it's an 11 millimeter you're going to need a ratchet with a loving going to be the socket and I'm going to show your wire right here when you look at the lock on here see how this lock attaches these screws in the back stick through about probably an inch through the back over here so what we're going to do is we're going to back these screws out just a little bit just so we can get the insulation behind it these screws don't stick here was fine but these sticking a little bit furthest so let me loosen this up and then I'm going to show you how to to cut the insulation and measure it correctly I don't then how the screws are back that a little bit the insulation will go right behind it and like I said these screws here don't stick out far enough to interfere with the installation alright so the next thing we're going to do now is a little try to measure this as close as possible without having it too long or too short I'm going to show you what I need if you look in this side right over here you can see this space put in a side right here we want to get the insulation behind this in here as far as we can to this very corner packing yeah so we're going to measure from in the back right here right there touching up against here I'm going to measure it over here and we'll better get an exact measurement and we have forty six and seven-eighths we're going to measure the bottom and make sure forty six two seven eight all right next thing we let it in them so they come over I'm gonna call panel will get a measure twenty six two seven eight we'll get it back to the other side now exactly 46 and 7/8 as well now we have what two points right here we are going to come the shiny side first goodest you want the shiny side to be a perfectly smooth cut so now we're going to line this up with the mocks let it take our razor blade it's Olivia night whatever you have and we're gonna make a cut make sure you won't you square so it doesn't move now what I would recommend to is you're probably thinking you can just snap this up here break that off and have a nice scene yet don't do it because if you're trying to snap it or if it's going to break your regular and you're going to have a problem with it so what we're going to do now so guys come over here we're going to transfer that blog right here looking to transfer up to the top right there what is that same thing over here and now we have about two marks on the back of all bits here or no use a razor blade again and you can see you get a nice clean cut when you have a saw blade it's been we're going to do that then I come over to the door and we're gonna take this we're gonna put it into view this one here first we're gonna catch it in the bottom line here and we're going to catch it over on this side now we're going to push it in this way as far as we can but see how there see over here it doesn't reach this is actually too thick so what we're going to do is I'm going to pull only the one hand on top pull it a little bit here and get it uh neat yep just like that just a little bit see how it's underneath here in here and now we're going to work our way over the exact same thing once you get to this point we're going to push the material this planet as far as we can until it touches right in that corner right there and we're gonna lift off in place put it behind that lip over they pull out right here all the way through the same thing right here [Music] that's it that's all hat all right so now I'm gonna tell you this too don't assume that this is forty six and seven-eighths don't assume that each panel is twenty six and seven days sometimes you'll have it off just a little bit and you know you want to make sure that you measure it exactly up on top and on the bottom see how to progress so let's measure this one right here and I'll show you how to put it in behind this piece right here we have our measuring tape exact same thing you're gonna touch in the back row this corner right there are as you can I'm gonna measure here and they're also forty six and seven eighths so let's grab another panel we're going to measure forty six and seven eight now you see this is the end here that I cut this is the end but I put in the back here as far as I can this part over here doesn't have a lip see how this is nice and smooth with you there's no lip to hold it in so we're gonna push the cut in in over here it's alright we're gonna take the line test for the front again we're gonna bend push it in just a little bit it's old it touches all the way in this corner right over in here our point that is in that fall and I'm going to take this one will detects the body and we're going to put the bottom of that lip just like that you're going to pull out of this hand with this hand to get it underneath and that's it that's how second panel now unless we can tighten it back in because the screws here and now then go into that that installation and then we'll hold the insulation as well from sliding around not finish going home but it will actually float right into the insulation okay so this patter is now finished this panel is finished we can take it down with the pals on the bottom here okay well let me just point out to you now is that we're going to slide these insulation panels well you know we can't get behind this one and that one at the same time so what we do with it we're actually cutting a small piece of insulation we've mentioned how far in it goes and it's about two inches so we're two inches in here and you but once we slide that panel in over there we can't push the panel we're still going to have that two inch gap in there so what I'm doing is I'm cutting a piece of the insulation from the old one we're going to stick it in here so that when I push push the new panel in it's going to buck right up against it nice and tight so all right let me cut that 2-inch piece and I'll show you how to put it in okay now we have a fans cup we're gonna put them back in you know what they don't like this [Music] well and that will take our panel we actually cut as well we're gonna bring it into this side over here first if you want to push the panel all the way back in there I'll cut side that we cut we're going to put it inside like this our factory cuts on here we're going to keep up against the side ESO again we're going to take it we're going to take the bend this slightly just together and I said now you can see that this panel here touch it right up against that piece of ins insulation that I put here so we have no more void in a hollow area where cold air can come through so that's it this is in the wall the way we're going to continue with the other panels now [Music] all right so as you can see just taking a few extra minutes and putting the paddles inside here it'll definitely cut down on the amount of draft through here this insulation is gonna make a big difference come with the time it'll save you on the heating course as well because you your garage will retain the heat especially if you pull your vehicle in the garage at night and the heat from the engines in the garage will definitely keep the lot warmer so that's it you're all set all right as always thanks for watching and I'll see you on the next one
