Insulated Garage Doors: How and Why

Your garage door can do more than simply plug the gap at the front of your garage. Having an insulated garage door can provide you, your garage and your home with many helpful benefits, so this month we’re taking a look at the best way to achieve an insulated garage door and exactly why doing so is a wise choice.

Why choose an insulated garage door over uninsulated?

Aesthetically, there isn’t much difference between an insulated and uninsulated garage door, but there is certainly reason to choose one over the other. An insulated garage door, first and foremost, allows you much greater climate control within your garage all year round.

If you spend a lot of time in the garage during the summer months, you can find that it easily becomes uncomfortably stuffy and humid. An insulated garage door will help stem that discomfort, vastly reducing the amount of heat finding its way into your garage. During the winter, an insulated garage door will prevent heat from escaping, so you don’t have to limit the time spent in the garage even if the snow is falling.

An insulated garage door will also improve the strength of the door, making it a much more suitable security measure for your garage. This is especially true of roller garage doors, which already offer ample security benefits when it comes to access control and lack of visible weak points. Having a roller garage door with extra strength will only enhance the security of your garage, and combine that with brush seals on the guide rails and a sturdy rubber strip running along the bottom, an insulated roller garage door offers comprehensive protection on all fronts.

Unlike up and over garage doors, insulated roller garage doors leave absolutely no gaps around the edges, so everything from heat, wind, rain and dirt to loud street noise are all handily kept at bay.

DIY vs pre installed

There are two main ways of achieving an insulated roller garage door. The first way is to insulate the door on your own. This involves the following steps:

  • finding and purchasing the correct insulation materials for your purpose
  • measuring and cutting the materials properly
  • fitting the insulation effectively

This will be a tough prospect, and may not provide you with optimal benefits – the insulation may be tough to fit consistently, for instance, and you may not have accurately accounted for the added weight to the door itself. However, it will likely save you some money, so may be a good choice as a temporary insulation solution.

Ideally, you will want to choose a professionally insulated roller garage door – especially if you are yet to upgrade from an old up and over. The insulated garage doors at Rollerdor are strong, double skinned aluminium sheets filled with foam based insulation. With high quality insulation installed, your roller garage door will provide substantial protection from the elements while driving down the cost of heating and cooling your garage.

When it comes to the best method of insulating your garage door, choosing a professionally insulated roller garage door will provide you with optimal results. Our insulated roller garage doors are expertly designed and are installed with strong brushes and seals for full protection, meaning you won’t be losing or gaining extra heat through the door itself or from gaps around the edges.
