Great questions, James! Yes, the torsion spring adjustment is because of the added weight from the insulation. I’ll keep in mind showing the door in action for future videos! The garage door open and closes without any issues and it is super quiet. As for using just the foil, it can work, but it might not insulate as well as panels. You can always add the panels later on. I will be working on a different video to show how to adjust the torsion springs. Thanks for watching!

@@CarlosWorkshopHaven thank you so much! Forgot to earlier, subscribing now :)

Thanks, @sharifmowad627! The gold foil sounds like a good option too. I’m glad you like the look, it really does transform the door!

Thanks so much! I really appreciate that. Glad you enjoyed the video!

Not a dumb question at all! Yes, you can open and close the door without affecting the insulation. The panels stay in place as long as they're properly installed. It’s definitely a great upgrade for your garage!

Funny you mention that Robert, I actually just installed a mini split in my garage! You can check out the install in one of my other videos. Thanks for watching!

You're welcome, Rene! Thanks for watching!

Thanks, John! Those gray and green panels are actually my Festool tracksaw tracks. Glad you enjoyed the video!

Thanks so much, John! Really appreciate the support, I am glad the video was helpful!

That's a great point! You might want to consider adding ventilation or a small fan to help with airflow during the summer. Thanks for watching!

Great question! Some specialty stores or local suppliers might carry garage doors and hardware, but it can be tricky to find. You could also try checking with manufacturers directly. Thank you for watching!

Hey Daniel, the foam actually came already scored, making it easy to bend into the panels. Thanks for checking it out!

Great tip, Pete! Thanks for sharing that, it makes a lot of sense now that you mentioned it. I will be in the look out if that happens and then apply it in between as you suggested. Appreciate you watching!

Hey Florida Man! 😁 Yes, reducing garage heat can help your AC system’s efficiency. I’ll work on that torsion spring video in the near future. Thanks for the suggestion and for watching!

Thanks for the feedback, Richard! Appreciate you watching!

No, the difference is 23° which is a lot. Definitely worth a few hours of work.

Add a window ac and the whole package = worth it

Thanks so much, Ken! I’m glad you found the video helpful. You’re absolutely right, adjusting the torsion spring is an important step, and it would definitely make for a great follow-up video. I’ll make a note of it for the future!

Hey @glbernini0, absolutely! It’s a lot of work upfront, but that temperature difference makes it all worthwhile. It’s great knowing the garage will be so much more comfortable year-round. Thank you for your comment.

Hey @sharismithson1233, I am glad you found this video helpful. Thank you for your comment.

Hey @darylfortney8081, I guess the quick answer is money. Builders simply want to be complaint with the building requirements and go as cheap as they can. In a different note, I do know that there are off the shelf insulated garage doors, they are more expensive and heavier too.

@@CarlosWorkshopHaven sure, i guess in that case I would just use the one already insulated.

Hello @videodude8137, Thank you for your comment! I will make the appropriate changes.

​@@CarlosWorkshopHavenWhen editing the next video put the volume lower than you think. For some reason the music gets louder when uploading.

Hey @JoseSorianoPhtography, I spent around 250 USD at that time. I also bough extra foil tape that was unnecessary, so i could have been a little bit less. Thank you for your comment.

Hey @fastman696, I thought of getting one of those FLIR adapter for the phones, but they were still pretty expensive. But I agree, that would have been really nice. Thank your comment.

Hey @Oki-kq1iq, I did rebalance the garage door by adjusting the torsion spring because exactly of what you are mentioning. Thank you for your comment. :)

Hey @bum-bumbigelow3825, that is a great option! Thank you for sharing that.

Thank you @Max-hq2jm! I am glad it was helpful. Thank you for your comment.

Thank you for your comment @ohealthnmm9002!

I am glad you liked it @evabanueloscovarrubias9895!

Nice @robertmckay7943! I am also adding AC in the garage! The video is coming up soon. Thank you for your comment.

Hey @renesg5546! Thank you for your comment.

Hey @momisiveet! Thank you for your comment! I'm glad it was helpful.

Hey @jessea.9268, you're right! There’s just enough wiggle room to maneuver the insulation panels into the cavities, so I decided not to add them at the end. There's still some air trapped in between, though. Thank you for reaching out.

Hello @jhors7777! I am glad it was helpful. Thank you for your comment! :)

Hey @tullgutten! Haha, you’re right, I sweat like crazy in there! 😅 I have to take a lot of breaks and run in and out of the house just to cool down! One of my next videos is the mini split install, ...coming soon. Thank you for your comment.

Hey @artesran! I am glad you liked it :) Thank you for your comment!

Thank you @omikurita! :)

Ahhh!! That is actually a great idea @bob8ize!, You are absolutely right!!!! Thank you for the feedback, will keep it in mind for the future.

Hey @ElegalvicnLa, you are correct, consistency and repeatable measurements are key. Thank you for your comment. :)

Hey @brianmurphy836, I just sealed the edges to lower the amount of air leak, but I open the garage whenever I need to, like bring stuff in and out for more projects. I do try not to open it because of the heat though. Thank you for your comment. :)

Hey @joefranceschino3131, to be honest, I do not know because my garage door was not balanced to begin with. I added the insulation and then balanced the door via the torsion spring. I did not covered that process in the video since it was not the focus, and it will have taken a while to cover it right. Sorry I could not answer your question. If I had to guess, it will have barely affected the weight. That foam is pretty light.

@@CarlosWorkshopHaven thanks for the update

Hey @MrHisitech, thank you for your feedback.

Hey @kevenc! Thank you for your comment!

You are right @kevenc, I could have used some none reflective material right on top of the panel to get a more accurate measurement. Thanks for pointing that out. :)

Thank you @chrisbry3226! I appreciate it.

Hey @rcats848! You are absolutely right regarding the color of paints. That would have been a nice touch to add somewhere in the video. In my case, I just bought the house as is, so I was lucky I didn't have to paint the garage door from the beginning. Thank you for your comment. :)

Does this only matter on the garage door? Or also the color of the walls on the garage? I live in Florida and wanted to paint my garage walls a darker color (white garage doors and the 3 other walls are dark gray).

Hey @WisdomTree2024! thanks for sharing that and thank you for your Sub :D

Hello @OnTVaustralia! Thank you for your subscription! For me the temperature of the metal door was about the same for the inside and outside. I measured 101.8 F inside and 102.2 F outside. These numbers will vary with the day and weather of course, if you are in a windy area this could help out with the cooling of the garage door in the outside. Your metal garage door will act as a huge heat sink. I hope this information helps :)

​@CarlosWorkshopHaven I have access to a foam board that has a foil cover. Do you think this will yield a similar result?
