Default Re: Cold In The Shop

Paul
I used some strips sold by a garage door company that seal the edges & tops of my garage doors. Keeps out the draft very well. My doors are metal & kinda roll up in sections
Hard to describe.
There is also styrofoam insulation sold by garage door vendors and similar products are available from HD & Loews.
Another option that a fellow showed me is using plastic sheeting (Visqueen) on the interior of each door, secured with tape. I guess the dead air space helped insulate each door. Said it worked well & was inexpensive.
You will still need a heater of sorts to get that temperature up.
I have a pellet stove in my shop that will keep the temp at 60+. I can't work in any lower temp than that. I'm old
