Helping someone out with this... their back door has a panel in

to insulate this in some way but cannot decide on the best

Any thoughts?

On our timber doors I removed the moulding and used bubble wrap followed by another piece of ply

For the benefit of the archives...

I blagged a piece of 11mm thick underlay from a carpet shop and glued it
on to the panel. Then a piece of white-faced ply from B&Q glued and
nailed over the top. Hence from the outside in
- the original ply
- underlay
- an air gap of about 5mm
- another piece of ply
which should represent a thermal barrier...

Yes, but do include an ali foil layer on the inside of the insulation next time or you may get a buildup of mould & loss of insulation over time. Hopefully you won't but it sometimes happens.
