In warm climates, the desirability of minimizing heat transfer into and out of your house is well known.
Coupled with air conditioning, a well insulated house with air conditioning can be comfortable even in very hot weather. Most modern houses incorporate a design in which a garage space leads directly into a living space. In most cases these modern houses have sectional garage doors that , especially when the sun is beating directly upon it, reach temperatures in excess of 70 Degrees Celsius. This in turn causes the garages to become uncomfortably hot.
Furthermore, a standard internal door usually separates the living space form the garage space. All of this usually results in an unacceptable level of heat transfer into your living space causing discomfort or excessive loading of the air conditioning.
99%+ pure aluminium
Garage Door Insulation uses the highest grade aluminium with up to 98% reflectivity. Reflective insulations that use less than 99+% aluminium or have no protection may deteriorate with age. The Garage Door Insulation product has a unique protective coating to guard against oxidization and foil degradation
Extra thick foil 
Each layer of our aluminium is extra thick. This ensures you don’t experience “pin-holing” that can also deteriorate your reflective insulation over time.
Unaffected by humidity
It is one of the few insulations not affected by humidity. R-Value’s of bulk insulation diminish more than 35% (R2.5 to R1.65) with only 1.5% moisture in the air. Average moisture content in homes typically exceeds 1.5%.
Independent approved testing
All tests are performed at either nationally approved independent laboratories or at leading universities. Tests are performed to current Australian Materials Standards. Our products conform with the latest insulation standard AS/NZS 4859.1-2002.
Conduction Convection & Radiant Heat (Infrared) are all thermal dynamic properties which contribute to the heat that Garage Door Insulation is able to help eliminate.
Of the three, radiation is the primary, making up to 93% of heat entering a building.
Radiant heat is energy. It has no temperature as it travels. When it strikes an object, such as a garage door, it is absorbed increasing the object’s temperature. The object emits this energy out the other side causing heat loss or gain through the building envelope. 75% of the heat transfer in your building envelope is radiant heat. Reducing radiant heat can dramatically increase your comfort and reduce your energy cost.
When reading about radiant heat, you may come across some reference to R values. An R value is simply a measure of thermal resistance, Garage Doors Insulation has an R value of 2.1
Conduction and convection are secondary and come into play only as matter interrupts or interferes with radiant heat transfer, as matter absorbs radiant energy, it is heated, develops a difference in temperature, and results in molecular motion (conduction in solids) or mass motion (convection in liquids and gas).
CONDUCTION is direct heat flow through matter (molecular motion). It results from actual PHYSICAL CONTACT.
CONVECTION is the transport of heat within a gas or liquid, caused by the actual flow of the material within itself.
RADIATION is the transmission of infrared rays.
Garage Door Insulation uses highly effective reflective insulations. Two outer sheets of extra pure aluminium foil reflect up to 97% of radiant heat. The sheets are heat laminated to a tough core of polyethylene pocketed air for strength & reliability. This sandwich resists conductive & convective heat flow. The whole system combats the 3 types of heat effecting buildings.
