Foam Insulation
March 20th, 2008
Polystyrene or injected foam insulation: which one is better?
I’m replacing my wood garage door (which is attached to my home) with a steel door (because it’s cheaper), but I don’t know which insulation to use. Home Depot offers the board insulation and another company is offering the injected foam insulation. Which one should I use.
You might get more specific guidance from the following web pages about insulation and insulation materials:

Hope this helps!
