Building to 7 stars? ThermaDoor is the only garage door insulation with the engineering documentation your energy assessor needs.
ThermaDoor is designed and manufactured in Queensland, with our factory at Chevallum on the Sunshine Coast. When you order ThermaDoor for South Coast & Shoalhaven, you are buying Australian made insulation from a business that has engineered its product specifically for the Australian climate.
The South Coast is famous for its beaches, but coastal exposure brings intense summer sun and corrosive salt air. An uninsulated garage door acts as a giant radiator, absorbing heat and pushing it straight into your home. ThermaDoor's EPS core and reflective foil backing work together to block radiant heat and keep the garage usable, while our durable, wipe-clean vinyl finish stands up to coastal conditions far better than exposed materials.
Inland areas across the Shoalhaven, like Nowra and Bomaderry, often miss out on the cooling coastal breezes, experiencing sweltering summer afternoons. ThermaDoor's insulation panels create a thermal barrier that stops the heat transfer. The laminated vinyl finish is water resistant and impact resistant, unlike open-cell insulation materials that absorb moisture and deteriorate over time. Built to handle whatever the South Coast throws at it.
South Coast winters are generally mild, but overnight temperatures can still drop, leaving garages cold and damp in the mornings. 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.
NSW's NCC 7-star energy requirements now apply to all new homes and major renovations. An uninsulated garage door performs at approximately R0.0 — one of the biggest thermal liabilities in any home. ThermaDoor is the only garage door insulation in Australia with independently calculated assembly R-values to AS/NZS 4859.2:2018. When your builder or energy assessor asks about garage door insulation, ask for ThermaDoor by name.

For Deborah’s son, an NDIS participant, the garage is “The Cave” — a vital space for his independence and his support team. They had already invested in an epoxy floor and replastering to create something special. But the heat made it almost unusable.

DOOR SURFACE WITH THERMADOOR INSTALLED
Australia’s original purpose-built garage door insulation — independently tested, made to fit, built to last.
Surface temperature readings: 37.6°C at the steel hinge (thermal bridge) / 32.6°C at the ThermaDoor panel
What you are seeing: The blue areas show ThermaDoor panels doing their job — blocking radiant heat. The red and orange areas are the steel hinges and panel joins conducting heat straight through the door. This is thermal bridging, and it happens in every sectional garage door. It is why material R-values alone do not tell the full story — and why ThermaDoor’s R-values are calculated on the complete installed door assembly, steel and all.
Our article on thermal bridging and garage doors explains why tested assembly values matter.
On the South Coast and Shoalhaven, the difference between a material R-value and a tested door assembly R-value is the difference between a product that looks good on paper and one that actually keeps your garage cooler. ThermaDoor’s R1.43 is tested on a complete installed door — steel, hinges, and all.

Peter Harding shares his experience with ThermaDoor garage door insulation after having it installed three times over 12 years.
Real results for real South Coast & Shoalhaven homeowners
I had my west facing garage door insulated and sealing brushes added to stop dust, some of the best money I have ever spent on a house improvement. Great service, efficient and reasonably priced. I would recommend in a flash.
We’re super impressed with our newly-installed Thermadoor insulation, it works a treat on our north-facing garage door and looks very sharp. Top marks for customer service and Caleb’s very neat and tidy job on the install. Highly recommend this outfit
This is a great product and service. Installed them myself and they work amazingly well. Great price compared to other companies who quoted me and Peter was super helpful in getting the sizing just right. Thoroughly recommend this product and company.

Here is how ThermaDoor changes what you can do with your garage.

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.

BEFORE YOU BUY
Most garage door insulation products are marketed using terminology borrowed from walls and ceilings. This free checklist gives you the five questions that cut through the noise — and that most suppliers cannot answer.
Yes. ThermaDoor significantly reduces radiant heat transfer during hot summer days in areas like Nowra and Batemans Bay, and helps retain warmth during cool winter nights. Customers regularly report temperature reductions of up to 20°C inside their garage.
No. ThermaDoor panels feature a durable, wipe-clean vinyl finish that is water resistant and built to withstand coastal environments. Unlike some other insulation materials, it will not absorb moisture or degrade from salt air exposure.
Yes. We offer DIY kits that are delivered directly to your home anywhere on the South Coast or Shoalhaven. The panels come pre-cut to standard heights and include clear instructions for a simple installation.
Yes. If you prefer professional installation, we have an authorised distributor, JM Garage Doors, servicing the Shoalhaven region. They can supply and install ThermaDoor for a flawless finish.
ThermaDoor provides an Overall Total R-value of R1.43 in winter and R1.39 in summer. These figures are independently calculated by a qualified engineer in accordance with AS/NZS 4859 Parts 1 & 2.
No. ThermaDoor panels are extremely lightweight. While they do add a small amount of weight to the door, standard garage door springs can easily be adjusted by a professional to accommodate the slight difference.
Yes. The EPS insulation core helps dampen vibrations and reduce noise transmission, making your garage quieter and reducing the amount of street noise that enters your home.
