5.0 out of 5 stars Great for blocking heat in garage
Reviewed in the United States on August 8, 2024
Garage been so hot this summer. I picked this brand because it is made in USA and it is pre-cut. I still had to trim the edge on few pieces, but most fit fine. I noticed significant heat reduction after installation. Easy to use and works as designed. Highly recommend and would buy again.

Super easy to install, good quality, light weight, and effective! Take your time with it and do it right (easy to do even alone). My garage was a little different with it’s size so I did end up cutting pieces but wasn’t hard at all to do. I also got some aluminum tape to help seal edges and keep in place. The stick adhesions sometimes worked but not the best quality so be prepared for that. I found the tape worked better but it’s cheap like less than 10 bucks on amazon. Took less than 40 minutes to completely install everything and it dropped like 15-20 degrees in the garage. Definitely recommend.

This product seems to have lowered my FL garage temps by @ 10 degrees. It was easy to install and looks good.
1 star removed due to the description saying a garage door cleaner and sponge were included. They were not in either of the 2 boxes I received.

5.0 out of 5 stars Makes a huge difference
Reviewed in the United States on July 21, 2024
Why didn't I know about these sooner?! Whoever is saying that these don't make a difference has to be from a competitor! My garage door faces right into the midday sun and heats up to blistering heat. I'm a 71 year young women and I put these in in a very short time, simple as pie! I could feel the difference as I was putting them on - amazing! The only downside for me is that my top 4 panels have windows so covering them makes my garage pretty dark. My windows are treated and feel cool but the metal around them is hot, I may just do one or two cut-outs and see if that works.

5.0 out of 5 stars Noticeable Difference in Garage Temp with Insulation Installed
Reviewed in the United States on June 2, 2022
I looked at the published R-values of this product and NASA Tech. They are both broadly listed as R-21. There are better insulating products available usually of the fiberglass batt type but these can be "dirty" and difficult products to install. The NASA Tech originally looked like the best bet but to install it, I would have had to remove the hurricane straps (5 of them), unroll the NASA Tech, marking the holes where the hurricane straps were bolted and reinstall the hurricane straps and bolts. Not a small job. I elected to purchase Reach Barrier becasue of the pre-cut panels. First, one box covers a single car garage door. For my project I needed two boxes for a 7'h X 16'w door. Second, each panel in the Reach Barrier Kit is 24" X 48". There's enough product to do 16, 24" X 24" panels per box Third, not every panel on my garage door (an Amarr Product) is the same size. The outside panels (closest to the roller tracks) are 25" wide, 21" high. The others are all 23"w X 21"h. Each panel had to be trimmed from the stock panels in the kit. I started the project by myself by marking the dimensions with a marker, labeled the L corner and top of each trimmed panel and would trim the stock panels to size using a long straight edge (a level) and box cutter. The panels trim neatly and easily with a box cutter. I switched to one person cutting (my wife) and the other (me) installing it - that saved a lot of getting up and down from one's knees. The first 4 or so panels cut and installed solo were slow going; it took about 10-15 minutes each panel to trim and install it. Going slow like this with one person doing the cutting and installing would take almost 3h to do one half of this project, 6h total. Too long. Get the wife, save my knees! Once we got a system going we did the other 28 panels in about 90 minutes. They advantage of the Reach Barrier product over the NASA tech is that I was able to install the cut panels without removing the hurricane straps. If you look closely at the photos of the completed garage door, you may note that the hurricane straps will actually hold some of the panels in place (there is enough space between the aluminum panels and the hurricane straps to easily work the cut panels under them). I started out using the stickies per the instructions. The problem with that was installing the stickies on the panel, removing the top covering of each of them then trying to slide a panel under a hurricane strap without the panel sticking to them until in place. After screwing up one panel that way I stopped putting the stickies on all four corners and in the middle. Instead I started cutting the panels 1/4 " longer in each dimension. Voi-la. They fit snuggly in place (mostly). If there was a saggy corner, I'd put a sticky under it by rolling the corner back, placing the sticky then unrolling the corner onto the sticky. That was only required on a couple of panels. The design of the door made it possible to jab that 1/4" extra of material in a grove and it stayed in that grove even with the door operating multiple times to test this technique. I imagine that wouldn't work on some door designs with or without Hurricane straps and you'd have to use the sticky is The important thing for DIY'ers is that you can easily install this product successfully even when leaving horizontal hurricane straps on the door. As for performance, I'm impressed so far. My garage door faces west and in the afternoon the door gets blazing hot - likely over 110 degrees. The garage is uninhabitable in the heat of the day with inside garage temps reaching 102 - 103 and it is presently serving as a storage area for heat sensitive things. I'd estimate that the insulation alone drops the ambient temperature inside the garage 8-10 degrees in the heat of the day with full sun on the door. Low 90s is still uncomfortable. My garage is about 450 SqFt. I just installed a 10000 BTU portable room AC that ducts (intake and exhaust) out the garage window. With it set at 80 degrees, it has no problem getting the ambient temp down to just under 80 degrees - comfortable for us. In the heat of the FL sun, the combo of a portable AC and the garage door insulated with the Reach Barrier product makes the garage a useable space. All I need now is a solar shade for the 48" X 48" window that I noted today leaks a lot of radiant heat now that the garage door isn't doing that!.

In the 120 degree of Las Vegas, it didn’t seem to keep the heat out to much. I’m going to see what happens this winter.

5.0 out of 5 stars Lower summer garage temperatures are ahead
Reviewed in the United States on April 22, 2024
My metal garage door specs: 16 ft long by 7 ft high with four 8' long panels (20" tall) on each side without a middle brace.

As seen in the 1st photo I added 2 foam braces (3/4" thick each) on each panel secured within the panel frame with tape. I found duct tape doesn't stick well to the foam while packing tape does. Photo 3, I added extra REACH Barrier (RB) pieces to the side frame to further insulate the panel/door. In photo 4, you see I placed the RB panels to the frame of each panel to further improve thermal performance based upon the RB instructions/comments (see photo 5).

I ordered 2 boxes of RB for the job. Each box included the Stick'em squares. I ordered an extra set which was accessed for additional squares beyond the suggested 5-6 per panel. In measuring & cutting the RB panels, I found to measure the distance between the squares to cut the RB panels height appropriately so the panel would cover the squares for maximum coverage for stickiness. To further improve thermal performance, I used pro-grade duct 557 HVAC tape on the seams of the panels. The job took two days to complete; 4 hours each day with an overnight (approximately 24 hours) to allow the Stick'ems squares on the panel frame to cur for a fully stick based on the RB instructions. My Easy to install rating is so because of the additional measuring & cutting of each RB panel. My Durability rating is so since time will tell since RB was installed 4/21/2024.

Acetaminophen caplets are advisable during & afterwards of the installation. Measure twice and good luck!
