From wood to fiberglass, there are several options for garage doors. Whichever material you choose, make sure it’s an insulated model. Here’s why this feature is beneficial for your home.

Why You Should Choose an Insulated Garage Door

1. Save on Energy Costs

Every time you open the door that leads out to your garage, you let a bit of air escape your home. While standard garage doors will let it seep outside, insulated models will keep it in, and your HVAC system won’t have to work harder to replace that lost cool or hot air. This often results in a more energy-efficient system and lower utility bills.

2. Muffle Noise

Insulated garage doors also lock in noise. This feature can be useful if you use loud tools in the garage, such as power saws. You’ll be able to use the workshop late at night without bothering the neighbors. 

3. Protect Your Belongings

Many homeowners use their garages as storage spaces for items such as holiday decorations, family photo albums, and lawn care equipment. Whatever you’ve stowed in this space, it will benefit from more consistent temperatures.

For example, wooden furniture and musical instruments can splinter in the cold, and photographs can warp in the heat. With an insulated garage door, you can protect your belongings without having to extend your HVAC system.
