One kit form carries a priced band of its own in Frame A: foam-board panel kits at $30 to $130. Reflective kits and vinyl-backed batt kits read inside the retail kit band in Frame A and inside the fitted bands in Frame B, with no separate band printed for either form.

Doors priced apart, neighbours named apart

A door line answers the door question only inside its own frame, and the product stays the existing sectional garage door on every row: a retrofit on a door already hung. The neighbours stay apart: whole-garage wall-and-ceiling insulation prices wall and ceiling surfaces, factory-insulated replacement doors sit in the replacement guide, weatherstripping and perimeter seals sit in the weatherstripping cluster, and smart openers sit in their own guide.
