Are you looking to upgrade your garage? Maybe it’s just time for a new door. You certainly have plenty of choices available, and it can really make your property look so much better. Getting an insulated garage door can actually come with several benefits. It’s more beneficial still if you use your garage for more than just storage. You can get your garage door in any type of material you like and all with insulation.
Benefits of Installing an Insulated Garage Door
Many of us not only use our garages a lot, but we use the door, as well. It’s often our main way in and out of the house on the occasions we use the car.
Energy Efficiency
Because of the size of your garage and depending on what you may have stored in there, this is a great feature. It saves money on heating and cooling. It makes it much more comfortable, as well.
If your garage is attached to the house, that means you don’t have to heat or cool the spaces next to the garage as much, either. But, if the garage is away from the house, it will still be warmer in there in the winter.
This is much more pleasant when you have to dash from the house to get to the garage door and find it much more pleasant inside. The insulation will help keep the temperature even. Heating a space like that can be very expensive. The car will like it, too.
Last Longer
An insulated door is going to be more durable because it’s got two layers, plus the insulation. That means it will hold up to ball games, car dings, storms, and anything else you can throw at it.
Older uninsulated doors tend to be single sheets over a frame. Most insulated doors are made from steel or other materials of your choice with solid insulation. The frame, outer layer, and insulation are durable yet light enough to easily lift.
Less Noise
This actually works two ways. First, the garage door itself will make less noise. Often, hollow metal doors can bang and make a lot of noise just in normal operation.
The insulated door also helps keep noise out of the garage and keeps noise in, as well. It helps keep rooms next to the garage quieter, as well. If your teenager is working on that new drum kit, your neighbors will thank you.
Many of us use our garages for workshops, reading, arts and crafts, or anything else we don’t have a space for in the house. Sometimes, it’s just nice to have a quiet place to escape from the day for a while.
Added Protection
The garage’s main purpose is to protect your car. With an insulated door, the car is far better protected against excessive heat and cold. The cold can do a lot of damage to your car, like thicken fluids, kill batteries, and flatten or damage your tires.
It will also help to protect anything else you have stored there. We often use the garage for tools, crafts, our freezer, food items, and anything that will stand out there. Temperature control with help protect it.
