Yes its sheets of silver reflector insulation. I had no problem doing myself - stapled it on and duct taped seams. Good luck!

Its radiant. My garage was very hot in summer and very cold in winter. I applied barrier to my garage door and exposed garage walls adjacent to siding. Instantly garage was cooler after installation as suns radiation was reflected away from the wall and garage door. It also keeps it a little warmer in winter. I supplemented what i bought here with additional rolls from Lowes. You also will not have issues with mold. I hope this answer helps. Again, I used it not only on garage door but on garage walls adjacent to exposed siding.

it is a radiant barrier. it is easily installed although I wanted insulation and found that the owens corning kits at depot were the best bang for the buck.

It is both radiant and insulater. My son and I completed our 16 ft x 7 ft garage door in 30 minutes. Start from the bottom and work up such that the upper row overlaps the lower row.

I haven't put it up yet, but it is about 3/4 inch thick and comes in rolls. I think you just cut pieces to the width desired and use the double stick tape to secure it to the door.

Yes, you can do it yourself . It is faster if you got help, but you don't have to.

I wouldn't personally use it out in weather! You may find a way to cover it or modify installation, but this is an indoor product.

you absolutely could. I would make sure that you cover it well though. Do not leave it uncovered as it would not last well for the purpose you want it to.

Sound like it, but I have no idea. I think the only way to know if it is actually serviceable, is to expose it. That's not a good option. Perhaps the manufacturer can give you the real deal. I'm not really impressed and wish there were other reasonable low-cost options. Sorry I can't be more helpful.

Hi, I have used this product with no customer complaints.... However if you are experiencing noise, you can use an insulator of some sort such as ice and water shield. Every situation can be different but try the above. Hope this helps...

i wouldn't. this is more to keep heat out rather than in. exhuast gasses would go through this. they make exhuast sleeves if you want to fix it

I am not sure. I dont think it can be rated like typical insulation with an R rating. It is only about 1/4 inch thick but the reflective suface on both sides with the bubblewrap kind of middle stops all heat from coming through. Everywhere that is covered is cool. It works like my pool solar cover. Hope that helps

I would use the closed cell. It may cost a bit more but is definitely worth it when it comes to sealing your home from the outside environment.

There is some vinyl used as the waterproof barrier although it is covered up by a cloth-like material to protect it from damage in the dryer (use medium heat) and to add some more texture so it isn't slippery.

I wouldn't suggest it. The container is only single wall plastic. No insulation around it at all

It is wrapped in polyurethane. It doesn't need to be insulated. You tube has videos on how to install it yourself!

I wouldn't advise putting this outside. However if you do, you could build your own enclosure for this. Because it's electric it doesn't need to be ventilated. I would insulate it if I were you. I do not believe they make a cover for this. You can check the Ecosmart website. http://www.ecosmartus.com/

Sorry, I did not notice that your question was about a seal from above the unit. Still - no provision for it. You will have to cover the opening with your own materials - plywood, plank etc.

It would definitely keep it cooler as the black color absorbs the heat and the white color reflects it; however, I would consider a white parp or a painters elite cloth either than spend $120 for reflective foil insulation :) it's jut me, but to answer your question it would help for sure...

If the insulation is falling in on you while you are installing the fan, block it with whatever you have handy. Cardboard pieces, duct tape, whatever. Leave it once you are done. Generally there is no reason to remove it.

The system i bought is a little different, so its hard to say. I think if it was me i would at least keep it out of the weather, maybe a small vented box, plywood, plastic.

If I were you, I would remove the duct tape and use just the interior transparent weather tape. The adhesive is comparable to duct tape, but the density of the weatherization tape is less permeable than duct tape and is going to do a better job keeping drafts of heat out. You may want to purchase a wide version of the 3m interior tape. I bought the 1inch so I could fit it at 90 degree angles at my windows edges and around a few drafty outlets.....
