Blanket Insulation - Style 1
Blanket Insulation

• You can place it between the doorframe members.
• The thicker the doorframes, the more insulation you can apply for a better R factor.
Insulation Board - Style 2
DURABLE WHITE PLASTIC CORE IS BACKED WITH INSULATION:
• Keeps heat out during the summer, and inside during the winter.
