Most of us believe that insulating certain parts of the house namely the garage door is an unnecessary luxury. People who have done so may have a completely different opinion on http://www.aladdindoors.com/garage-door-service/aladdin-garage-door-openers.html with several specifications suited for different purposes. Pressure-sensitive adhesive-backed foam is quite cheap and easiest to install on a door. It is reinforced with rubber and plastic coating, which raises its efficiency. They are available in rolls and of varying lengths and thickness. When the strips are fit to the door, it provides a padding effect which reduces noise on account of slamming. The durability of this material lasts up to three years. Here are the instructions for its usage:



Remove the back layer of the strip and paste it on the garage door.
Apply adequate pressure so that it adjusts well to the door surface. If required, you can put some nails to fix it tightly.
In case you are opting for a kit, refer to the instruction manual provided by the manufacturer.
Finally, check if the compression bubble at the bottom of the door or the weather stripping at the sides of the door are in good condition. If not, then replace them with new ones to get a better result. After the work is completed, inspect it or have a building expert look over it.

Wear a protective gear while handling the weather strips or the foam sheets. Direct contact with this material can cause severe itching. Keep your skin covered using gloves, boots, goggles, and mast while working.
