For a personal workshop in Franklin, North Carolina, a customer used customer EPS foam panels from Universal Foam Products and applied a 1/4" thick foil to insulate two 12' x 14' roll-up garage doors, creating a cost-effective alternative to replacing the doors with insulated models. After installation, the exterior door surface reached 137°F in direct sunlight while the interior surface measured just 78°F, demonstrating the foam’s impressive insulating performance. The project was completed for less than $1,500 compared to a $12,625 quote for new insulated doors, providing substantial upfront savings and the potential for reduced heating and cooling costs.
