Yet Another Door Insulation Question

[PhoenixOp]

So, here's the question...

I have 4 Wayne Dalton commercial steel doors that are 10' wide by 8' tall. Has anybody ever seen an insulation kit for that size? All I can find are for residential doors.

Is there an alternative to a "kit"?

These doors face east, so get almost too hot to touch in the morning. Needless to say, they really heat up the 24' deep by 60' long shop.

Any information or ideas would be extremely welcome.

Thank you,

Mike

No idea as to a kit.

I have (3) Wayne Dalton 9x7 semi-insulated residential doors ('88 vintage). The factory insulation was about 5/8 inch thick and molded to the door contours and smooth on the inside. I purchased sheets of 1 inch foam w/ a foil backing and bonded the foam to the inside of the doors - now the entire door cross section is insulated. Maybe you can do something similar.

There is nothing magic about the door kits, just precut foam. You can buy the foam yourself and cut it to the sizes you need/want.
