Reach Barrier 3009 Garage Door Insulation Kit Review

all right so you get a pack of stickums 48 stikums this is how much i ended up using i used a little more than half of them and you get a directions here you wipe down your garage door real good [Music] [Music] then you test at your pieces before you stick them in there [Music] so so [Music] and then you put stickums on four corners and one in the middle i ended up not doing that i ended up pushing them all in and then they were forced in here up by here so i only ended up putting a stick up here here and here on this side and then on this side i ended up going one stick them here and one stick them here there's a little bit of an air pocket there but they say that'll help keep it cool the top pieces and the bottom pieces i didn't have to trim i was able to fold them up and under to get them to stick in but the middle three pieces were too uh long so i had to trim one two three of them [Music] [Music] so i had a little bit of scrap left over and so i could use this to uh if i wanted to i could cut these pieces down and add some more insulation on here if i wanted to or i could use it as a headband i could i might even be able to tape them together and get like a full out tin foil hat going take a little bit of crafting there but i bet i can do it big difference i can touch this it's lukewarm or before it would burn my hand if i touched it i don't think it's done much to lower the temperature in here but i think the whole purpose is you have this on now or at night it cools off and then in the morning when the sun hits it it won't get as hot so it's 100 degrees in here right now we'll come out here tomorrow morning at 10 o'clock and see what the temperature is time wise i started at 10. i i got done around 1 30. so i wasn't like just non-stop i was messing around trying to film this and playing with my tinfoil hat and stuff and trying to figure out what i was doing another note is there is um says it's for a standard eight by eight door there's only eight panels in one box and so my door has ten panels so i was two panels short so i had to get another box my other garage door is the same way it actually has uh 20 panels instead of 16 so i'm going to order one more box to get the whole project done all in all it looks pretty nice [Music] okay so we're back out here the next day to finish the review the temperature in here is 95 degrees yesterday we were at 100 degrees so we're five percent cooler uh this says it's 30 cooler but i believe is what they're referring to is over here this is lukewarm to the touch yesterday i couldn't even touch it because it would burn my hand so we're definitely 30 cooler over here i think the main purpose of putting this on here for me is to insulate that garage door cool it down a little bit and then put in a small ac unit in here and then not lose all my uh cold air from the heat of that door and so uh final thoughts i mean this is what this reminds me of is uh do you remember those sun visors that uh that you put in your car and the uh bubble wrap it's like a bubble wrap [Music] and maybe we'll take one of those extra pieces here you can see this is a bubble wrap i wonder if we can pull it apart yeah there it is so you can see right here [Music] so it's bubble wrap the theory is the air pockets in there they create a thermal barrier and help cool things down but yeah if i have an extra piece i could just put it in the window of my car and have a cheap sun visor the problem i've had with these in the car is when they get the direct sunlight they begin to deteriorate this i don't know how this hole will hold up if it's not getting direct sunlight it is getting heat so i don't know if it's the heat that makes them deteriorate or if it's the sunlight so we'll find out all in all i'm happy with the all in all i'm happy with the way it looks i'm happy with how easy it was to install and once i get the other garage door up we'll do another review on how that one went and how that was holding up
