Does Garage Door Insulation Really Matter?

If there’s a door between your garage and the rest of your home, it’s easy to think your garage door’s insulation is of minor importance. However, consider that it’s likely the largest door in your home – meaning it provides the most opportunity to let in cold air in the winter and hot air in the summer. The best way to find an energy-efficient garage door is to look at the door’s R-value.

R-values refer to how resistant a door is to external temperature changes. The higher the R-value, the better the insulation – usually, insulated garage doors have an R-value of less than 20. Detached garages can usually get away with a lower R-value, or even 0, meaning the door is not insulated. If your garage is attached to your house, it’s recommended you choose a garage door with insulation so it can provide advanced:

• Temperature control: Insulation keeps your home at the temperature you like without overworking your HVAC. While a new garage door requires an up-front investment, it can save you hundreds or even thousands of dollars a year while keeping you more comfortable inside.
• Noise reduction: Your home should be your escape from the chaos beyond it, and better insulation means better separation. Insulated garage doors can also dampen sound, preventing noisy neighbors, lawnmowers and other sources of noise from disrupting your peace.
• Longevity: These extra materials also help strengthen your garage door, preventing damage and even everyday wear and tear. Insulated garage doors are more durable than other options and therefore have a naturally longer lifespan.
• Property value: Any new garage door adds value to your home, and the better your investment, the more value it will add. Buyers will greatly appreciate the additional energy cost savings and be more likely to make a better offer.

Choosing the Best Insulated Garage Door

Most garage doors are insulated with one of two materials:

• Polystyrene: This is a firm material that attaches to steel on the inside of your garage door. It’s usually installed in two or three layers and adds R-values between six and 13. Polystyrene is often the most affordable way to insulate your garage.
• Polyurethane: Polyurethane is an expanding material that, when applied to the inside of the door cavity, fills in every space and offers three layers of insulating material. R-values of this material come in between 18 and 21, and it can keep your space up to 20 degrees warmer or cooler during extreme temperatures.

Our selection of Clopay garage doors features uninsulated, polystyrene and polyurethane models for all of your garage needs. When maximum insulation is of the utmost importance, we recommend opting for a door with Clopay’s exclusive Intellicore® insulation technology. These garage doors make the most of polyurethane’s power to expand into every crevice and deliver top-level R-values.
