If you’ve got a non‑insulated garage door, you may be thinking about insulating it, whether to make your garage a more comfortable temperature year-round, or to keep noise to a minimum.
While it can be done, it might not be worth it
It’s not impossible; you could get some mineral wool blankets or polystyrene insulation panels from your local renovation materials store and install it yourself, it won’t even break the bank (about $100).
There are other options too, but remember if any weight is added the spring system will have to be recalibrated to match the new weight.
But, if your goal is improving the level of thermal insulation, it’s not worth it. While insulating a non-insulated garage door will reduce the empty metal sound the garage door makes when it opens and closes, the level of thermal insulation will remain the same. This is because when sheet metal sections are manufactured for non-insulated garage doors, there is no thermal break between the interior and exterior sections. Otherwise put; insulating the interior sections will make no difference!
