What You Need to Know About Insulated Garage Doors

Is Garage Door Insulation Necessary?

Without proper insulation, garages can become very warm and uncomfortable in summer, as well as cold in winter. Studies have shown that garage door insulation can keep your garage 20 to 25 degrees  cooler in summer and 8 to 12 degrees warmer in winter.

You can benefit most from garage door insulation if your garage:

Paint and some other chemicals are sensitive to temperature, so if you store these products in your garage, insulation can prevent problems. 

If noise is an issue on your street, garage door insulation can keep out sounds and create a peaceful environment inside your garage. The reverse is also true: if you engage in noisy activity in your garage, garage door insulation can prevent the noise from bothering your neighbors. You can decide whether insulation is helpful to you. 

 

Are There Other Ways to Keep Your Garage Comfortable?

Weatherstripping your garage and installing your garage door properly so that there are gaps between the door and the frame can help ensure that your garage will be comfortable.
