Your garage is one of the most versatile rooms in your house. But whether you’re using it as a living space or a storage unit, it can benefit from insulation. If you’ve yet to consider spray foam or cellulose for this area, consider these three reasons why it’s a worthwhile investment.

3 Reasons to Insulate Your Garage

1. Year-Round Comfort

Whether you like to do crafts or work on cars, your garage might be the perfect escape from the rest of the house. However, when temperatures are extreme during the summer and the winter, it may not be practical to work in the space for long periods. Adding insulation increases the functionality of the space and decreases your overall heating or cooling bills by preventing heat exchange. 

2. Sound Muffling

Many people use their garage as a workspace when they need a place to be alone and stay focused. However, if your kids are using it for band rehearsal or if you enjoy doing carpentry work that involves a lot of loud equipment, adding insulation can also prevent the sound from traveling to your neighbors. Spray foam is particularly good at muffling sound, thanks to the tiny air pockets that form when the substance expands and hardens.

3. Protect Your Investments

Even if you don't spend much time in your garage, insulation is essential for protecting the items you store there. For example, car batteries are especially sensitive to extreme temperatures, and without insulation, you could get in the driver’s seat just to find that this component has died out prematurely. Some families use their garages to store items like photo albums, old yearbooks, and seasonal clothing, all of which may become warped or discolored during the hot, humid summer months.
