WHY INSULATION IS IMPORTANT FOR GARAGE DOORS?

  • Insulating your garage door is truly subjective
    in Los Angeles. In Los Angeles, people insulate
    for the summer heat, not winter cold. If your
    garage door faces south or west, perhaps
    insulation will stop that hot summer heat. North
    or easterly facing garages dont have to ward off
    too much direct sunlight, so insulation in these
    circumstances is for other reasons (noise and
    appearance). One thing insulation does NOT do,
    but is touted by others as doing, is make the
    door stronger. The insulation is foam, how can
    foam make steel stronger?! It absolutely does
    not. When you have a polyurethane foam with a
    steel back, its the steel back that makes the
    whole door stronger, not the foam.

  • California building code is such that if you have
    a water heater in your garage, chances are very
    good that you have 4 vents in the side walls of
    the garage that are designed to vent the gas from
    the heater. These vents mitigate a lot of the
    insulation value (R value) as air from the
    outside mixes freely with air from the inside.
    In this case, if insulation is important to you,
    dont buy the most expensive, highest R value,
    get a mid-range polystyrene insulated door. WHY
    do we recommend insulation? When the sun is hot
    and your garage is insulated. Then, insulating
    the door as well as you can makes sense.
  • Also, when you dont like the look of a hollow
    panel door. They look very metallic and
    softening the inside with some insulation makes
    sense it looks good from the inside and stops
    the vibration of the door closing and opening.
    It makes the door quieter and it looks great.

  • Another great reason to get insulation is the
    sound reduction. The noisy door is quieted by
    the insulation in it. Either polystyrene or
    polyurethane have the same effect. Consider that
    when the sun is hot and the roof of the garage is
    visible and uninsulated, insulation wont make a
    difference in the internal temperature of the
    garage. Every garage door company wants to sell
    you insulation that you dont need. With us,
    its a practical matter.
  • When the door is installed with a water heater,
    the lightest insulation is best. When the garage
    is fully insulated (including the roof), higher
    insulation is valuable. Insulation can also be
    used to protect the items in the garage from
    extreme heat. Insulation in California is not
    mandatory but it can be very, very nice.
