Help please: cutting styrofoam sheets

My shop has a steel roll-up "garage" door that faces a blistering sun

I can get 4' X 8' sheets at Big-Box for a good-enouhg price, but need
to trim the sheets down to ~ 44" X 22" to fit into the recesses of the
door.

What's the best way to cut 1-1/2" or 2" styrofoam sheets? *I don't
have a "hot wire" cutting tool.

Thanks a heap,

Craft stores such as Hobby Lobby, Micheals and such sell a tool (looks
kinda like a coping saw) with a wire and a couple D batteries that
heats up the wire and cuts styrofoam cleanly with out a mess. They are
less than $10. If you cant afford that, then forget about it.
