Insulating the garage door is something that is becoming more common with especially new build homes which are built to the H1 Building Code and also to make the garage are more user friendly space for such things as home office, kids playroom, teenages hang out, or a man cave.
Insulating your garage door offers several advantages:
- Temperature Regulation: Insulation helps in maintaining a more consistent temperature inside the garage. This is particularly useful if you use your garage as a workshop, storage space, or if it's attached to your home, as it can help in reducing heat loss in winter and heat gain in summer
- Energy Efficiency: By regulating the temperature, insulation can contribute to lower energy bills since your heating or cooling systems won't have to work as hard to maintain a comfortable temperature.
- Improved Comfort: A properly insulated garage can be more comfortable to work in, especially during extreme weather conditions. It can also prevent cold drafts or hot spots, making the space more enjoyable to use.
- Reduced Noise: Insulation can help dampen outside noises, such as traffic or neighborhood sounds, making your garage a quieter space. This is beneficial if you use your garage for hobbies or as a living space.
- Protection of Belongings: Insulation can help protect items stored in your garage from extreme temperature fluctuations, which can be especially important for items sensitive to heat or cold, such as electronics, tools, or certain types of materials.
- Increase in Home Value: Adding insulation to your garage door can increase the overall energy efficiency of your home, potentially boosting its resale value. It's a relatively inexpensive upgrade that can be attractive to potential buyers.
