A new type of garage door insulation has been appearing in the Australian market: rubber-based, peel-and-stick sheets that you glue directly to the face of your garage door. They are easy to find online, simple to install, and marketed as a premium solution. Before you buy, there are four things worth understanding. None of them appear […]
PIR garage door insulation is appearing in more Australian homes. The marketing is compelling — high R-values, premium foam, purpose-built for your door.
