I need to insulate the inside of my doors against heat and noise and
remember a thread a while back that recommended using the material used to
wrap heating ducts or pipes (???) and they recommended getting it at Lowes.
I assume it was the silver stuff backed with something. I've got the stuff
for the firewall and floor (silver backed with what looks like carpet
padding) but I don't want to put that in my doors because it could soak up
water).
I went to Lowes and Home Depot and I really didn't find what I thought was
described. Home Depot had some stuff backed with fiberglass insulation and
Lowes had some stuff to wrap pipes, but it seems pretty thin (maybe 1/8
inch). Also, I wasn't sure if it would absorb water or not (which is why I
didn't get the fiberglass stuff). Home Depot had some 1/2 inch thick
styrofoam wall insulation (which I bought-it was cheap) but I'm afraid it
may not bend well enough to stay glued in place. Any suggestions?
Thanks as always.
