Thinking about that. May have to make a false insulated panel that attaches to the door, else just blow the winter fuel allowance.
Got a bit of scenic mending to do as cardboard doesn't travel too well. It will all sort itself out in slow time.

Winter fuel Allowance! Whats that?? Oh I remeber now from the last few years!
I had up and over doors on my garage before replacing them with electric roller doors. Then I used 9mm sheets of OSB board in a sort of slot in at the top and 50mm insualtion between door and inner face of the OSB Edges of the OSB were fitted with 15mm pipe insulation to make a sort of draft proof seal. It was Really effective and cosy plus it coud be removed to allow the up and over door to open if need be!
This shows a section of the OSB inner face and pipe insulation draft proofing...
