Dry wall to cover interior Styrofoam on a garage door?

shakes head

I put 1 inch foam in sections of my last garage door. The world never
stopped turning. At least in the Mojave Desert.

A minor spark could start a fire?

Bob, I'll concede that polystyrene is flammable, but if you've ever tried to burn the stuff you'll realized it's kinda hard to get it burning. It melts and pulls away from the source of heat.

If it was as flammable as you're suggesting, it wouldn't be used as insulation in virtually all of the flat roofs on the continent.

The 3.5 year old OP did say it was a shop. Things in shops sometimes make
sparks.

I'm not saying drywall on a garage door isn't worth shaking your head over,
but the warning itself has (some) merit. The suggested solution, well, not
so much. ;-)

Steel roll up door is a broad category.
But at some point, the weight is gonna be a problem.
