Insulating Garage Doors
I am replacing my knackered up and over door with side hinged steel doors.
As I use my garage mostly as a workshop, I would like to insulate the new doors. Advice welcome on what to use and how to fix it. Celotex or similar? Ken. |

Insulation is almost a waste of time if there is moving air taking heat out of the garage. |
