For Garage Door Systems
ThermaDoor is designed and manufactured in Queensland, with our factory at Chevallum on the Sunshine Coast. When you order a ThermaDoor DIY kit for delivery to Canberra or anywhere in the ACT, you are buying Australian made insulation from a business that has engineered its product specifically for the Australian climate — not an imported generic kit adapted for local conditions.
Canberra summers are brutal. Inland heat pushes garage temperatures well past 50°C, and west or north-facing doors cop it hardest. There is no sea breeze to take the edge off. ThermaDoor's EPS core and reflective foil backing work together to block radiant heat and keep the garage usable, whether your door faces north, west, or straight into the afternoon sun.
The ACT has the most extreme diurnal temperature range of any Australian capital — it is not unusual to have a 20°C swing between a summer morning and afternoon, or a 15°C drop overnight in winter. ThermaDoor's laminated vinyl finish is water resistant and impact resistant, unlike open-cell foam, polyester batts, or fibreglass insulation that absorb moisture and deteriorate over time. Built to handle whatever Canberra throws at it.
Canberra winters are the coldest of any Australian capital, with overnight temperatures regularly dropping below zero and frosts common from May through August. ThermaDoor slows heat loss overnight, so stepping into your garage on a winter morning is not the shock to the system it used to be — and your stored gear, tools, and vehicles stay protected from the cold year-round.
With a stable, comfortable temperature year-round, Canberra and the ACT homeowners are reclaiming their garages as usable living spaces.
Here is how ThermaDoor changes what you can do with your garage.
Train comfortably year-round — no more sweltering summers or chilly winters.
Quieter, more stable temperatures for better focus and lower energy bills.
A retreat that stays cool in summer and warm in winter for real downtime.
Consistent conditions that protect materials and make projects more enjoyable.
A safer, more comfortable space for children’s play – fewer drafts and hot/cold spots.
A calmer climate for pets, reducing heat stress in summer and chills in winter.
ThermaDoor has been on the Australian market since 2012 — and in that time, no other brand has matched what we offer:

Flame retardant, construction-grade expanded polystyrene foam is the primary insulator in every ThermaDoor panel. It slows conducted heat transfer through the door — keeping your garage significantly cooler in summer and warmer in winter, year after year.
Durable, flame retardant, UV-resistant vinyl facing protects the panel from Australia's harsh climate. It resists fading, cracking, and weathering — delivering a clean, professional finish that holds its appearance and structural integrity for the life of the door.
Bonded to the back of every panel, this construction-grade foil reflects radiant heat, acts as a Class 2 vapour barrier, and achieves Group 1 fire performance classification. It's the same foil used to wrap Australian homes — completing the three-layer system.

Your door brand determines the panel thickness required.
What is your panel thickness?
Count the individual panel sections across the full width of your door.
Measure every panel, then enter the largest measurement below.
⚠ Measure every panel before entering anything
Panels on the same door are often different sizes. If you only measure one panel and it turns out not to be the largest, your kit will be too small. Measure all panels first, then enter the longest length and largest height below.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Karen and the crew were fantastic to deal with from start to finish. The product is amazing and has decreased the temperature in our garage by 10–15 degrees C and also decreased the temp in our house. It was super easy to self install. Massive thumbs up!”
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
“Our garage was very hot and a suggestion from a friend meant that we contact ThermaDoor. From the initial contact to the completion, the company was very professional. The product is very good and I would definitely get their team to install. Today Don arrived on time and got the job done very quickly. The addition of the door seals was a good decision as they remove any dust and breeze that used to come through the sides and top.”
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
“Garage temps have dropped 4–6°C since installation and so glad we installed the ThermaDoor panels. We built a new house in 2023/2024 and the garage door gets full western sun every afternoon. I made sure to take note of our garage temps before installation and noticed immediately after installation the temp dropped 4–6°C in summer and in winter it’s not as cold. I also noticed the noise is reduced.”
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
“Everything about ThermaDoor was fantastic. Easy online ordering, fast interstate delivery and DIY installation was straightforward and a breeze. I would recommend the business and the product.”
Ready to transform your garage?
Yes — and arguably more so than anywhere else in Australia. Canberra has the most extreme temperature range of any Australian capital, with summer highs above 40°C and winter overnight lows regularly below zero. An uninsulated garage door is essentially a large thermal hole in your home’s envelope. ThermaDoor’s EPS core and reflective foil backing significantly reduce heat transfer in both directions, keeping the garage cooler in summer and warmer in winter. Homeowners across the ACT consistently report a noticeable difference in comfort and a reduction in energy bills after fitting ThermaDoor.
Yes. Canberra experiences genuine sub-zero overnight temperatures from May through August, with frosts common across most suburbs. ThermaDoor slows radiant heat loss through the door panel overnight, which means the garage retains more warmth, your stored gear and vehicles are better protected, and the cold is less likely to bleed into adjoining rooms. It will not turn an unheated garage into a heated room, but the difference on a frosty Canberra morning is significant.
Both options are available. ThermaDoor DIY kits are designed for homeowners with basic DIY skills and can be completed in a few hours with no trades required. Kits ship direct to your ACT address. If you prefer professional installation, ThermaDoor has authorised distributors across Canberra who can supply and fit the product for you. See the distributor cards on this page for local contacts.
ThermaDoor is compatible with sectional panel doors and tilt doors, which are the two most common types found in Canberra and ACT homes. It is not suitable for roller doors. If you are unsure which door type you have, the DIY kit instructions include a simple identification guide, or you can contact one of the local ACT distributors for advice before purchasing.
ThermaDoor DIY kits start from $290 for a single door and $580 for a double door (indicative pricing — see the pricing table on this page for current rates). Professional supply and installation pricing varies depending on door size and the distributor — contact the ACT distributors listed on this page for a quote. ThermaDoor is a one-time purchase with no ongoing costs, and most Canberra homeowners recover the cost through reduced heating and cooling bills within a few years.
ThermaDoor is not a bushfire-rated product and is not a substitute for BAL-rated construction requirements. If your property is in a designated Bushfire Attack Level zone in the ACT, you should check your specific construction requirements with a building professional. For standard residential garages outside designated BAL zones, ThermaDoor performs as intended. Contact us if you have specific questions about your property.
The simplest way to insulate your garage in Canberra is with a ThermaDoor DIY kit. Order online and the kit ships direct to your ACT address. Each kit includes pre-cut ThermaDoor panels sized for your door, all fixing hardware, and step-by-step instructions. Most homeowners complete the installation in two to three hours with no trades required. If you would prefer a professional to handle the job, contact one of the authorised ThermaDoor distributors listed on this page — all four service the Canberra and ACT area.
