Plus I didn't know you could insulate garage doors. The only garage door upgrade we were offered was to have a timber look garage door. I would have insulated it if I had known so hubby's man cave didn't end up quite so hot.

I believe it's possible to do retrofit insulation. It wouldn't be thermally broken but it should still help. There are a few different products on the market so have a look around. I liked the look of this one: http://www.thermadoor.com.au/ Re: Trixee's Passive Solar Build Perth 1935Nov 11, 2015 12:13 pm Ha, I probably posted my original reply on the wrong thread Thanks for that link trixee I will give it a go.

Thanks Hootie! The thermal break was something I'd forgotten about until Mr Trixee mentioned it. He's not entirely sure it's actually foam, but it sure seemed like it to me.
