Title: Door Insulation Query Post by: bobAlike on November 21, 2015, 04:43:50 PM Good people of Blonde, I'm losing loads of heat in my house through the laundry room via the door to the garage, any ideas of what I could use to insulate the door? I've already got draft excluders but I think the heat/cold is going through the actual door.
TIA BobAlike Title: Re: Door Insulation Query Post by: RED-DOG on November 21, 2015, 06:41:34 PM Hang a thick, full length curtain over it. It's easy, practical and it will work wonders.

I was thinking of putting some foil backed bubble wrap on the back of it but then I read this article;

Might just staple some kitchen foil and an old quilt to it. Title: Re: Door Insulation Query Post by: EvilPie on November 21, 2015, 11:05:51 PM I would imagine this stuff would be your best bet. Really good insulation values and it's easy to cut to size
