The benefits of insulating your garage door

Nine out of 10 people use their garage for more than just storing cars. It’s worth considering the flexibility your garage space can offer. Perhaps you’ve considered converting it into a home gym or well-proportioned study? A perfectly organised playroom for the little kids? Or a cosy chill-out zone for the big kids? Below we look at how insulating your garage door can provide a much more comfortable space for the whole family.

Energy efficiency

Insulation acts as a barrier to heat flow and is essential for keeping your home warm in winter and cool in summer.

According to the Australian Government’s YourHome website, heating and cooling account for 40 per cent of household energy use, making it the largest energy user in the average Australian home.

Garage door insulation allows for increased energy efficiency and can help to lower your energy costs. The YourHome site mentions that a well-insulated and well-designed home could cut cooling and heating bills by up to half.

Makes your door stronger

The additional level of protection makes your door thicker and stronger. The process of installing insulation in your garage door means that the door is physically thicker, stronger and harder to penetrate and lift. This means that your garage is not only temperature controlled but physically tougher as well.

Noise reduction

Insulated garage doors are much thicker, which means they reduce noise pollution.

More and more homeowners use their garages for activities other than storing cars; often the space doubles as a workshop, in-home gym or hangout zone for families. With an insulated door, you won’t have to worry as much about bothering neighbours when the kids are gaming or playing the guitar. On the other hand, you’ll be less affected by external sounds like road noise and storms while you’re inside your garage.

Garage door insulation also reduces sound transfer to other parts of your home, which is helpful if you have young children or have a bedroom above the garage. An insulated garage door may even provide quieter operation while the door is in motion.

Increased comfort

A more stable, constant temperature makes for a more comfortable environment. The purpose of garage door insulation is to help regulate the amount of cold and hot air escaping to and from your garage. If you or your family spend a lot of time in the garage, an insulated garage door is a wise investment. Similarly, if you store extra pantry staples or other food items in the garage, a stable garage temperature is important to ensure they last longer.
