What is an insulated garage door?

Insulated garage doors work by ensuring the perimeter of the door is completely sealed when it’s closed and that the interior material is thermally effective. Insulated garage doors are designed and manufactured to keep the temperature consistent throughout your garage. This is done by using a special foam-like substance.

What are the benefits of an insulated garage door?

Increased energy efficiency

By having an extra barrier of insulation on your garage door, you’ll be keeping any heat generated in your property within it. You may notice reduced energy bills if your garage is attached to your home.

Increased strength

An insulated garage door has more strength than an uninsulated garage door, making it more resistant to wear and damage over time. Rusting is also more common in uninsulated doors, which weakens your garage door’s overall durability. Insulated garage doors are designed to last for years, with steel frames and solid insulation in between the layers.

More options

An insulated garage allows you to use the space for more than just storage. Garages are often cold all year round, so having a garage that is able to keep a temperature warm enough for you to live in adds another room to your home. You can convert your garage into a rec room, a bar or a gym space, adding value to your home and allowing you to use it throughout the seasons.

Protect your belongings

A cold, uninsulated garage lets in draughts, damp and unwanted pests that can destroy the items you store in there. By having a durable, solid garage door to protect your items from the elements, you have a reliable space in your home to store all your belongings without fear of damage.
