The Benefits of Upgrading to an Insulated Garage Door
An uninsulated door is a large hole in your building envelope. Upgrading is one of the cheapest comfort improvements available to a homeowner with an attached garage.
Understanding R-value
R-value measures resistance to heat flow. A basic single-layer door sits near R-6; a polyurethane-core door can reach R-16 or higher.
For an attached garage in Illinois, R-12 or better is the sensible floor.
Comfort you notice immediately
Rooms above and beside the garage stop feeling cold. Cars start easier. Stored paint, batteries, and tools survive the winter.
Quieter operation and a stiffer door
Insulated panels are structurally stiffer, so the door rattles less, tracks straighter, and puts less strain on the opener.
Homeowners regularly tell us the noise reduction alone was worth the upgrade.
