Don’t Let The Harsh Winter Impact Your Garage

02/22/2019

Most homeowners love their garages. They keep their prized possessions in there — cars, work tools, cherished storage items. But on freezing winter days it can get very uncomfortable in there. One of the best things you can do to ease the cold is to purchase and install an insulated garage door.

 

An insulated garage door just may be the best investment you can possibly make to your home. They can be professionally installed or you can try to do it yourself. They’re on the heavy side so you may need two people for the installation. But once it’s installed, you can be sure much more heat will remain inside your garage. A quality garage door with the proper insulation will also help you cut down on your energy/heating costs. These doors can be automated just like a non-insulated garage door. This easy lift feature requires just the quick push of a button on your remote door opener. Insulated garage doors are not as expensive as one might imagine. They are worth every penny in the peace of mind knowing that your cars will be better protected. You’ll also be able to work longer hours in your garage if you’re fixing or building something on a chilly winter night. This type of door will also better keep the snow out.

Some insulated garage doors have windows near the top with excellent visibility. Others have no windows. The windows will let light and sunshine through. You can buy an insulated garage door in practically any color under the rainbow, and you can certainly paint most of them to the color of your choosing. They come made out of different textures and materials. Some are harder and sturdier than others. There’s wood, aluminum, steel and other kinds. The actual insulation material is a rugged, durable fiber. Some of it is embedded into the garage door itself. The rest of it looks like a neat, padded layer of plush fiber. All of the insulation on garage doors is made of fire proof material, but there is no dangerous and hazardous asbestos used these days. It’s another state-of-the-art, chemical material that insulates brilliantly. You can raise your internal garage temperature by probably fifteen to twenty degrees with a quality insulated garage door. If you have two or three garage doors at present, it’s recommended you upgrade to having all of your doors replaced with insulated ones for sufficient comfort levels. Just call or visit a reputable garage door dealer near you for a good deal.
