Weekend Warrior: Install Garage Door Insulation
Posted on: September 24, 2011
If you're like me, you spend your weekends toiling away in your garage workshop. Whether it's fixing a faucet or maintaining your lawnmower, your garage is your castle. Your domain. Nobody tells you where to put stuff or what game to listen to on the radio. And watch out if someone doesn't put the channel locks back in the right place! But as much as you love your garage escape, the summer and winter months can be rough. Summer in the garage gets downright sticky and the winter months are so cold you can barely feel your fingers.
This winter you can be prepared.
Like most homes, the garage door consists of thin metal panels, providing little or no thermal protection from exterior heat and cold weather. The solution is simple: install garage door insulation panels. Perfect for weekend warriors like us! Garage door insulation panels are made from durable polystyrene and can be installed in less than 1 hour. While you might have the finest hammer drill on the market, you can put it away for this job—no man-sized tools are needed. Once installed, garage door insulation panels provide a clean, finished look. Not only that, but they reduce interior noise from power tools and help reduce exterior noise as well. The benefits of garage door insulation, however, don't end there.
Studies have shown that reducing heat loss and heat penetration in the garage can help keep rooms adjacent to the garage cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter. This improved thermal resistance may lead to decreased heating and cooling costs. So while we know that garage door insulation really helps spruce up your man-cave, mom will have a reason to smile too.
