Abstract
A garage door insulation system includes a garage door having a major surface, an insulation layer of mineral fiber insulating material having a major surface, and an asphalt layer positioned between the major surfaces of the garage door and the insulation layer. The asphalt layer provides sound damping for the garage door. Preferably the asphalt layer acts as an adhesive to bond the insulation layer to the garage door. In a preferred embodiment, the major surface of the garage door is contoured, and the asphalt layer and insulation layer are deformable to the contour of the garage door.

A garage door insulation system comprising:
- a garage door having a major surface having a contour,
- an insulation layer of mineral fiber insulating material, said insulation layer being deformed to said contour and having first and second major surfaces, and
- an asphalt layer deformed to said contour and positioned between the major surface of the garage door and the first major surface of the insulation layer, wherein the asphalt layer provides sound damping.
A garage door insulation system comprising:
- a garage door having a major surface,
- an insulation layer of mineral fiber insulating material, said insulation layer having first and second major surfaces, and
- an asphalt layer positioned between the major surface of the garage door and the first major surface of the insulation layer, wherein the asphalt layer acts as an adhesive to adhere the insulation layer to the garage door, and wherein the asphalt layer provides sound damping.
