Insulating a garage door on the cheap

  • While it's just being used for the cat couldn't you just buy some door seals and draught excluders? And then if you want to use it as a proper room where you want to be comfortable and warm, probably best just investing in an insulated garage door? Seen these around quite a lot

    Eventual plan is to infill the door and have a nice window, turn it into a proper room.

    My DIY door insulation along with replacing some draughty wooden windows in there with UPVC ones seems to be working well and there is a surprising dampening of 'street noise' like car doors closing/people talking etc. Next step is to cut an opening/install a loft hatch and add some insulation up there (I'm assuming there is none given it's a 70's house and there's no access into the garage loft space) at present.
