Browse Forums Heating, Cooling & Insulation 1 Feb 16, 2012 1:49 pm I have a west facing double garage door that is absorbing and radiating heat in the afternoon into the garage space. The temp difference between inside and outside of the garage is horrible. A petrol can left on the garage floor exploded yesterday afternoon, due to the expanding gas. When I got into the car it shows outside temp was 44 degree, driven out of the garage for a few minutes and it drops straight back to 32. does anyone know of garage door insulation kit easily available from bunnings? Re: garage door insulation 9Feb 20, 2012 10:14 am Personally, I would never keep petrol or any type of flammable liquid like that in my garage. Jerry cans and similar containers are not vented like car fuel tanks and so the do build up pressure and can be dangerous. The other thing is that in high temps the fuel vapors are more volatile and can ignite by a smaller spark source. Putting a vent in the ceiling and using whirlybirds will help reduce the heat but the petrol can will still expand and contract with heat.

But insulating the garage door panels wouldn't it make it worst after you've driven and parked your car? wouldn't it slow down the heat dissipation time? Dover white or surfmist garage door.
