Insulated Garage Doors

Insulated doors provide: better energy efficiency (reduced heating/cooling costs), noise reduction, temperature control, protection for stored items, and improved home comfort. They're especially beneficial for attached garages where temperature affects your home's energy usage.

Garage door R-values range from R-6 (basic insulation) to R-18+ (high efficiency). We can recommend the right R-value based on your climate, energy goals, and budget. Higher R-values provide better insulation but cost more initially.

Energy savings depend on your climate and garage usage, but insulated doors can reduce energy costs by 10-20% for attached garages. The savings are most significant in extreme climates where temperature differences are greatest. We can estimate potential savings for your specific situation.

Insulated doors typically cost $200-800 more than non-insulated doors, but the energy savings often pay for the difference within 3-5 years. Additionally, they provide comfort benefits and protect stored items from temperature extremes.

Common insulation types include: polystyrene foam (most common), polyurethane foam (highest R-value), and fiberglass. Each type has different characteristics for R-value, cost, and durability. We can explain the differences and help you choose the right insulation for your needs.
