As an eco-conscious homeowner, choosing an energy-efficient garage door is essential to reduce your carbon footprint and lower your energy bills. One of the key factors to consider when choosing a garage door is whether to go with an insulated or non-insulated option.

How Garage Door Insulation Works

Insulation is designed to regulate the temperature inside your garage, keeping it cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter. Insulated garage doors feature a layer of insulation, typically made from materials like polystyrene or polyurethane foam, sandwiched between two layers of metal. This insulation can help reduce noise and prevent moisture from seeping into your garage.

Non-insulated garage doors, on the other hand, are made from a single layer of metal and do not contain any insulation. While they may be cheaper upfront, non-insulated garage doors may not provide the same level of temperature regulation and noise reduction as insulated options.

When deciding between insulated and non-insulated garage doors, there are 3 things to consider:

1. Climate and Weather Conditions

If you live in an area with extreme temperatures or frequent weather changes, insulated garage doors may be a better choice to regulate temperature and prevent energy loss.

If you use your garage as a living space or have living areas adjacent to your garage, insulated garage doors can help reduce noise and temperature fluctuations. Learn more about the benefits of insulating your garage door for added comfort.
