What Are the Benefits of an Insulated Garage?

Column

Have you been thinking about getting an insulated garage door? If you have, it’s possible that you have been searching online, trying to find out if there is a large difference between insulated and non-insulated. There is. In this article, we are going to be taking a look at some of these benefits, so keep reading down below to find out more.

Increased Door Strength

It is more likely for an insulated garage door to be stronger than a non-insulated door. The strength of your door is important as it helps to keep things out. Or, if you accidentally back into or drive into the door, it is going to be more resistant to damage. Damage can come from any direction though such as the weather, kids, and even everyday use.

Insulated garage doors are especially important to consider if you have to think about the weather conditions where you leave. Prolonged exposure to harsh sunlight or wind can significantly lower the lifespan of your garage door. Insulation will help avoid this kind of damage.

Insulated garage doors are meant to be long-lasting and resistant to lots of different things. For example, insulated garage doors are more resistant to rusting which is something that a lot of single layer, non-insulated experience.

Energy Efficiency

An insulated garage door means that the heat won’t be able to escape in the winter, and the warm air won’t be able to get in during the summer. Ideally, you want to keep your garage at a medium temperature so that it’s not too hot or cold, which is why insulation is so important.

If you can keep the garage at the right kind of temperature, then you will need less energy to heat and cool your home. This is especially true if you have an attached garage that often leaks cold or warm air into areas of your home such as the hallways or any room above the garage.

Comfortable Environment

An insulated garage door makes for a more comfortable environment in your garage. You are not going to be facing cold drafts coming through your home from the garage in the colder months, and it will also keep the warmer air out during the summer months.

Garage doors that are insulated also give you the option to use your garage throughout the entire year as a living area. Though, we recommend that you insulate the walls and ceiling as well.

Overall though, having an insulated garage door means that you have a space that is good for storage, even if it isn’t your vehicle. There are lots of uses for a garage, and they all require some kind of insulation to be comfortable.
