Are these rigid foam pieces or soft? Door panels are 22.5" and the insulation panels are 20". What is the best tape/glue to use if I cut pieces 2.5" to fill Since the item is a petroleum-base product, using a glue might not be advisable being that the glue will or could eat through the styrofoam. Do I need another product Dear Ney: First, it would be difficult to cut and attach dozens of panels to fit your reinforced door. More important, however, foam board is very flammable and emits toxic gas when it burns. It MUST be covered by an approved thermal barrier in any garage, living space, basement, storage area, etc. The standard is 1/2" drywall, which obviously will not work on a garage door. So if you install this product as-is, this would be a building code violation and a fire safety risk for you and your family. Fortunately, Home Depot sells another garage door insulation product that will be easier to install on your reinforced door, is fire-resistant, and provides twice the insulation value.

Dear Bill: No matter what the dimensions are, this foam board product is the wrong choice for your garage door. Foam board is very flammable and emits clouds of toxic gas when it burns.

If you install foam board anyway, you will create a fire safety risk for your family, a building code violation, and a potential insurance issue if a fire occurs. Fortunately, Home Depot sells another garage door insulation product that is safe -- and more effective.

The main reason someone might want to insulate the garage is simply because they spend time in there.
Be it woodworking, automotive tinkering or lifting weights on a home gym - these are all reasons why you would want the garage to be more comfortable when you're inside it.
