OVERVIEW

Insulating your bifold door is a great choice to keep your shop or hangar space comfortable all year around. Diamond Doors offers a ridged board insulation option for all our bifold doors. Installed to the exterior of the door frame, it provides consistent insulation across the full width of the bifold door.

Our insulation panels are available in R12 (two inch thickness) and R16 (three inch thickness) depending on the needs of your building. A white aluminum liner provides a clean finish on the inside of the door, provides easy maintenance, and protects your insulation from damage.

Installation is simple – simply place the panels vertically across the width of the door frame and secure them in place with the fasteners. Each panel is cut to length before shipping.

Diamond Doors also includes a foam weather seal kit with each insulation package. This kit consists of a closed cell, neoprene foam tape that is that is attached to the door to create a stronger seal between the door and the building columns.

Another feature included with each insulation package is an L trim which is fastened to the bottom of the top section of the door. This L trim caps off the insulation so the insulation is not visible when the door is in the open position.

FAQ

Can I add the insulation package to my existing bifold door?

Yes, the insulation package can be installed on an existing Diamond door. Your cladding can be reused, but the trims and fasteners will need to be replaced to accommodate for the added width of the panels.

Can I provide my own insulation?

Yes, you can provide your own insulation. However, we will need to know the weight per square foot of the insulation you choose so that we can design your door accordingly.

Can I spray foam my door?

Diamond Doors does not recommend spray foam for your bifold door, as it can interfere with the locking system and other moving parts of your door. For a full overview of different insulation options and their advantages, please read our Insulation Options blog post here.
