Garage Doors Energy Efficiency

Polystyrene and polyurethane are common materials to insulate garage doors because their provide excellent energy efficiency. Polystyrene usually installed inside panels and helps reduce heat loss but also may leave small gaps where air can escape. Polyurethane on the other hand is a spray foam that fills every crack and space in the door, which creates a tighter seal and provides better insulation. Polyurethane is more energy efficient choice but also polystyrene panels do a great job.

When your garage door is well insulated, it helps maintain a stable temperature inside your garage. Not only it keeps your car and other stored items protected from extreme weather but also reducing your energy bills especially if your garage is connected to your home.

Choosing the right level of insulation depends on your budget. While polystyrene is usually more affordable and provides good basic insulation polyurethane costs more but delivers superior efficiency and a quieter garage door operation.

Why Should You Buy An Insulated Garage Door?

Energy efficient insulated garage doors not only provide practical benefits but are also are good investments in terms of increasing return on investment when selling a property. Insulated garage doors have multiple layers of material such as aluminum, steel etc… sandwiched between their insulation layers which help them become resistant to weather conditions such as windy climates. Furthermore, they act as noise insulators as well by dampening loud noises from outside sources while at the same time absorbing vibrations from operating garage doors so they don’t become too noisy.
