Keeping your garage cool or warm—just like your home—is one way of saving money on your home’s energy costs. Installing an insulated garage door or garage weather stripping not only helps save you money, but can also make your garage more comfortable, especially if it is used as a workspace. And an insulated garage door can definitely increase the comfort of your home if you have a heated and cooled living space above the garage. What’s more, an insulated garage door adds soundproofing.
Additional Insulation
If you are considering insulating your existing garage door, the important thing to keep in mind is that insulation is going to add weight. Your garage door springs are designed and calibrated to lift the weight of a specific door and additional insulation (and weight) will reduce the lifting capability of the door’s spring system. A garage door opener will also have to work harder to lift a heavier door than it is designed to and will become damaged.
