Abstract
A garage door insulation retention kit is provided, comprising at least 24 rubber bands (minimum 3 inches long and ¼ inch wide) and at least 64 linking components, each featuring a central post with hooks on both ends. Each rubber band connects to hooks on 3-4 different linking components. A method for securing insulation to garage doors is also provided. It involves placing insulation on panelled garage doors, drilling holes along the borders of each panel, inserting linking components into the holes, and stretching rubber bands between them to hold the insulation in place across the panel surface.
Claims20
A garage door insulation retention kit comprising:
- at least twenty-four rubber bands each having a length of at least three inches and a width of at least ¼ of an inch;
- and,
- at least sixty-four linking components containing a central longitudinal post which has a hook on opposing ends thereof, and wherein each of the rubber bands is connected to 3 or 4 different ones of the linking components.
A method of retaining insulation on a garage door comprising the steps of:
- providing an individual panel of garage door insulation to an individual garage door panel of a garage door, the individual garage door panel having a border therearound, the border being made up of two horizontal portions, and two vertical portions;
- drilling holes along the horizontal and/or vertical portions of the border;
- inserting a linking component into each of the drilled holes;
- and,
- attaching rubber bands between the linking components such that the rubber bands extend over a planar portion of the individual panel of garage door insulation.
A method of retaining insulation on a garage door comprising:
- providing an individual panel of garage door insulation to an individual garage door panel of a garage door, the individual garage door panel having a border therearound, the border being made up of two horizontal portions, and two vertical portions;
- drilling a corner hole from about ¼ of an inch to about 6 inches from ends of each of the horizontal portions and a center hole located midway between the corner holes of each of the horizontal portions;
- inserting a linking component comprising a central longitudinal post having a hook end on opposing ends thereof one of the hook ends inserted into each of the corner holes and each of the center holes;
- attaching a separate rubber band between two of the opposing hook ends of each of the linking components such that the rubber bands are oriented substantially perpendicular to the two horizontal portions of the border, and each of the substantially perpendicular oriented rubber bands have two stretched halves;
- and,
- attaching a separate linking component by one hook end to a midpoint of each of the stretched halves of the rubber band oriented between the center holes and by the opposing hook end to a midpoint of one of the stretched halves of each of the rubber bands oriented between the corner holes.
