Building to 7 stars? ThermaDoor is the only garage door insulation with the engineering documentation your energy assessor needs.
New South Wales features some of Australia’s most diverse climates, from the intense humidity of the Sydney basin to the dry, searing heat of the western plains and the freezing winters of the Blue Mountains. An uninsulated metal garage door offers zero resistance to these extremes, turning your garage into an oven in summer and an icebox in winter. ThermaDoor provides purpose-built, Australian-made garage door insulation designed to block radiant heat and stop winter heat loss. Whether you need a DIY kit delivered to your door anywhere in the state, or professional installation through our growing network of local distributors, ThermaDoor delivers tested, proven results for NSW homes.

The Original. Still the Only.
ThermaDoor has been on the Australian market since 2012 — and in that time, no other brand has matched what we offer:
- The original and still the only purpose-made garage door insulation on the Australian market.
- Proudly designed, owned and manufactured right here in Australia by an Aussie builder.
- Designed specifically for sectional garage doors and tilt garage doors.
Three Layers. Engineered as One
High-Density EPS Core
Flame retardant, construction-grade expanded polystyrene foam is the primary insulator in every ThermaDoor panel. It slows conducted heat transfer through the door — keeping your garage significantly cooler in summer and warmer in winter, year after year.
UV-Stable Vinyl Facing
Durable, flame retardant, UV-resistant vinyl facing protects the panel from Australia's harsh climate. It resists fading, cracking, and weathering — delivering a clean, professional finish that holds its appearance and structural integrity for the life of the door.
Sisalation Foil Backing
Bonded to the back of every panel, this construction-grade foil reflects radiant heat, acts as a Class 2 vapour barrier, and achieves Group 1 fire performance classification. It's the same foil used to wrap Australian homes — completing the three-layer system.
Verified R-Values You Can Trust
Surface temperature readings: 37.6°C at the steel hinge (thermal bridge) / 32.6°C at the ThermaDoor panel
What you are seeing: The blue areas show ThermaDoor panels doing their job — blocking radiant heat. The red and orange areas are the steel hinges and panel joins conducting heat straight through the door. This is thermal bridging, and it happens in every sectional garage door. It is why material R-values alone do not tell the full story — and why ThermaDoor’s R-values are calculated on the complete installed door assembly, steel and all.
Our article on thermal bridging and garage doors explains why tested assembly values matter.
Calculated on the Complete Installed Door – Not Just the Insulation Material
In New South Wales, the difference between a material R-value and a tested door assembly R-value is the difference between a product that looks good on paper and one that actually keeps your garage cooler. ThermaDoor’s R1.43 is tested on a complete installed door — steel, hinges, and all.

Posted on Google Caroline nTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We purchased a DIY kit for our garage door to cool it down before installing a solar battery. We are really impressed with the results and have noticed a significant difference in the temperature since adding the insulation. Very glad we did it!
Owner's reply
Thank you so much, Caroline, this is exactly why we do what we do! 🙌 Preparing the garage for a solar battery is one of the smartest reasons to insulate first, and you've nailed the order of operations. Our customers regularly report temperature reductions of up to 20°C. A cooler garage isn't just more comfortable it's a better environment for battery storage. Most solar battery manufacturers specify an optimal operating temperature range, and an uninsulated steel garage door in an Australian summer can push well outside that range. You've protected your investment before it even arrived. Very glad we could be part of that.Posted on Google Shane WTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Thermadoor's garage door insulation is the best. I have tried others and they dont even come close. Thermadoor is easy to install and the panel looks great. It looks very professional and not like an after thought. I cannot recommend this product enpugh. You will not be disappointed if you choose to go with Thermadoor insulation. Photos to come
Owner's reply
Thank you, Shane — "they don't even come close" is high praise and we genuinely appreciate you taking the time to share that. You've touched on something we hear a lot... ThermaDoor looks like it belongs on the door, not like something that was added as an afterthought. That comes down to the factory-laminated vinyl face and the mechanical fix system, which keeps everything flush and tight. It's designed to look like part of the door because it essentially becomes part of the door. We also love receiving photos from our customers and we're looking forward to seeing yours when they're ready! 📸Posted on Google Deborah RTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I cannot speak highly enough of ThermaDoor and the product they have created. It is quite simply second to none. We had ThermaDoor installed on our new 16 panel, fully west facing garage door, and the result has exceeded anything I could have hoped for. The temperature in the space has now dropped by at least 20 degrees, which has completely transformed how we can use it. Our garage is not just a garage , it’s “the Cave” for my son, who is an NDIS participant, and his support team. We had already invested in an epoxy floor and replastering the space, but despite that, the heat made it almost unusable. Since installing ThermaDoor, it has become a comfortable, functional, and genuinely enjoyable environment. It has opened up a whole new level of independence and capacity building for my son and his team. The product itself looks premium, fits beautifully, and has made the space noticeably quieter as well , something I didn’t expect but absolutely love. Another positive for me is that the core product Is aesthetically pleasing with a beautiful vinyl panelling covering that finishes the door to a higher standard, Another 5 ⭐️ stand out of a quality solution. And then there is the service. Peter and Karen were nothing short of exceptional — knowledgeable, responsive, and genuinely invested in helping us achieve the best outcome for our son to make his space a home away from home! This has been one of the most impactful upgrades we’ve made to our home, and I know it will carry us just as beautifully through winter as it has through summer. I am so grateful, thank you for helping us create a space that truly supports my son’s world and capacity building Deb4Sammy Mountain Creek
Owner's reply
Deb, thank you, this means so much to us. We are genuinely honoured to have played a part in creating a space that works for your son and his support team. "The Cave" is exactly what a space like this should be... comfortable, functional, and truly his own. The fact that a 20°C temperature drop has opened up a whole new level of independence and capacity building is everything we could hope to hear. We are so glad they could be part of your family's story. Thank you for trusting us with it. Peter & Karen🙏Posted on Google 81micmicTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Everything about ThermaDoor was fantastic. Easy online ordering, fast interstate delivery and DIY installation was straight forward and a breeze. I would recommend the business and the product.
Owner's reply
We believe happy customers are the best outcome we can achieve. Thank you for sharing your experience, we really appreciate you taking the time to let others know. Peter & KarenPosted on Google Paul BTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Our garage was very hot and a suggestion from a friend meant that we contact Thermadoor. From the initial contact to the completion, the company was very professional. The product is very good and I would definitely get their team to install. Today Don arrived on time and got the job done very quickly. The addition of the door seals was a good decision as they remove any dust and breeze that used to come through the sides and top. The door closer mechanism was modified to close with the extra panels and it is much quieter. I would recommend this company for the great job at a very reasonable price.
Owner's reply
Thank you, Paul we are really glad Don could get the job done efficiently and that the whole experience from first contact through to installation met the mark. The door seals are an often underestimated part of the system. Once people experience the difference in dust, draughts, pests and noise they wonder how they managed without them. The spring and closer adjustment is something we always include as part of a professional install, so it's great to hear that came through in the result. Thanks again for the kind words and for the recommendation. Peter & Karen🙌Posted on Google Lorraine LTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Short review: Garage temps have dropped 4c to 6c since installation and so glad we installed the ThermaDoor panels. Long review: We built a new house in 2023/2024 and the garage door gets full western sun every afternoon plus we also have side glass doors on the garage for side access so it also gets lots of sun and heat. I made sure to take note of our garage temps before installation and noticed immediately after installation the temp dropped 4c to 6c in summer and in winter its not as cold and I also noticed the noise is less, so straight away money well spent. The garage just feels more comfortable on very hot days and you really notice the difference when you open the garage door and walk out into the front yard. The install guys were really nice and local for us (Sydney) and after panel installation they also serviced our garage door to make sure everything was OK and I appreciated their extra care and clean up afterwards. Installation didnt take long and the garage door looks great, you wouldnt know it was there unless I pointed it out to you. Well worth the investment in insulating our garage door and Ive recommended them quite a few times since. Edit. We installed the Premium panels
Owner's reply
Thank you for your kind words Lorraine. We are so glad ThermaDoor Premium has made a difference in your circumstances!Posted on Google David DTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Karen and the crew were fantastic to deal with from start to finish. The product is amazing and has decreased the temperature in our garage by 10-15 degrees C and also decreased the temp in our house. It was super easy to self instal. Massive thumbs up!
Owner's reply
Thanks so much for your review David. We’re so glad ThermaDoor Premium met your expectations!Posted on Google Paul VTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Big thanks to Karen & the team, great people to deal with. Panels have been in over 2 years and work great. Huge reduction in heat within garage, great product.
Owner's reply
Thank you, Paul. Two years in and still working great is exactly what we build them for. Karen will love seeing this! 😊 Longevity is something we're proud of — the factory-laminated construction holds up to the daily movement and Australian conditions in a way that glued or retrofit solutions simply don't over time. Really appreciate you coming back to leave a review.

I had my west facing garage door insulated and sealing brushes added to stop dust, some of the best money I have ever spent on a house improvement. Great service, efficient and reasonably priced. I would recommend in a flash.
Peta W
We’re super impressed with our newly-installed Thermadoor insulation, it works a treat on our north-facing garage door and looks very sharp. Top marks for customer service and Caleb’s very neat and tidy job on the install. Highly recommend this outfit
Justin H
This is a great product and service. Installed them myself and they work amazingly well. Great price compared to other companies who quoted me and Peter was super helpful in getting the sizing just right. Thoroughly recommend this product and company.

Frequently Asked Questions Garage Door Insulation New South Wales
Do you deliver DIY garage door insulation kits to regional NSW?
Yes, ThermaDoor DIY kits can be shipped to any postcode across New South Wales, from coastal towns to inland and regional areas. Our kits come complete with everything you need for a straightforward installation.
Does garage door insulation really work in the Sydney climate?
Absolutely. Sydney experiences high summer humidity and intense radiant heat, which easily penetrates uninsulated metal garage doors. ThermaDoor’s EPS core reflects the heat, keeping your garage significantly cooler in summer. It also traps warmth during the cooler winter months, improving your home’s overall energy efficiency.
How do I find a ThermaDoor installer in NSW?
We have a growing network of authorised distributors across New South Wales, including Western Sydney, the Central Coast, and the Newcastle/Hunter Valley regions. Select your specific region from the grid above to find the contact details for your nearest professional installer.
Is ThermaDoor suitable for all types of garage doors?
ThermaDoor panels are specifically designed to fit the vast majority of sectional and panelift garage doors sold in Australia, including popular brands like B&D, Steel-Line, and Gliderol.
Is ThermaDoor Australian made?
Yes. ThermaDoor is 100% Australian made and owned. It was engineered specifically for the harsh Australian climate and has been independently tested to meet strict Australian Standards for thermal performance.
Does garage door insulation work in Sydney's summer heat?
Yes — and Sydney’s climate is one of the strongest arguments for it. A north or west-facing metal garage door can reach surface temperatures of 60°C or more on a hot Sydney summer day, radiating heat directly into your home. ThermaDoor’s three-layer system — high-density EPS core, UV-stable vinyl facing, and sisalation foil backing — blocks radiant heat, slows conducted heat transfer, and reflects thermal energy away from the door. Independent testing shows surface temperature reductions of up to 30°C after installation.
How much does garage door insulation cost in Sydney?
The cost of ThermaDoor depends on your door size — single or double — and whether you choose a DIY kit or professional supply and installation. You can browse all available panel sizes and current pricing with no obligation to buy on our Shop DIY Panels page. For professional supply and installation, contact us directly and we will provide a quote based on your door size and Sydney location.
