Energy-Efficient Insulated Garage Door Services
A lot of attention is given to the insulation of your home. Insulation is the protective barrier that keeps energy costs down and helps control your home’s temperature. An insulated garage door does the same thing for your garage.
Insulated Garage Doors Protect More than Your Garage
Your garage is often used as much as the rest of your home. However, even if you primarily use your garage to park your autos and gain entrance to your home, your garage door’s insulation can significantly impact your home’s energy costs.
5 Benefits of Insulated Garage Doors:
1. Temperature Control
Many garage doors are connected to interior living spaces, either adjacent to or above the garage door. An insulated garage door will provide greater temperature control of interior living spaces.
2. Reduced Air Leakage
Your garage is usually the most used access to the home’s interior. A well-insulated garage door can help reduce the difference between the garage and interior home temperature.
3. Extended Living Space
A well-insulated garage space provides a comfortable workspace during extreme hot or cold temperatures, extending the usable area of your home and preventing the dangers that come with exposure to temperature extremes.
4. Noise Reduction
If you live on or near a busy road, an insulated garage door can provide additional sound cushioning to reduce the street noise entering your home.
5. Dent Resistance
The added reinforcement of insulation reduces the impact of smaller objects on your garage door and lessens the likelihood and severity of garage door dents.
Do You Need an Insulated Garage Door?
If you’re on the fence about whether an insulated garage door is right for you, the following questions may help.
- Is your home in an area prone to temperature extremes?
- Do you have animals or pets that spend time in your garage?
- Are there items in your garage that may be harmed by temperature variations?
- Is your garage used as a workspace or for hobbies?
- Do you have an attached garage or living space above your garage?
If you answered yes to even one of these questions, the long-term investment of an insulated garage door could provide immediate energy and comfort savings. If you answered yes to two or more questions, you might want to seriously consider the added value of an insulated garage door.
