The benefits of insulating your garage door
Energy efficiency
Insulation acts as a barrier to heat flow and is essential for keeping your home warm in winter and cool in summer.According to the Australian Government’s YourHome website, heating and cooling account for 40 per cent of household energy use, making it the largest energy user in the average Australian home.
Garage door insulation allows for increased energy efficiency and can help to lower your energy costs. The YourHome site mentions that a well-insulated and well-designed home could cut cooling and heating bills by up to half.
Makes your door stronger
The additional level of protection makes your door thicker and stronger.
Noise reduction
Insulated garage doors are much thicker, which means they reduce noise pollution.More and more homeowners use their garages for activities other than storing cars; often the space doubles as a workshop, in-home gym or hangout zone for families. With an insulated door, you won’t have to worry as much about bothering neighbours when the kids are gaming or playing the guitar. On the other hand, you’ll be less affected by external sounds like road noise and storms while you’re inside your garage.
Garage door insulation also reduces sound transfer to other parts of your home, which is helpful if you have young children or have a bedroom above the garage. An insulated garage door may even provide quieter operation while the door is in motion.
Increased comfort
A more stable, constant temperature makes for a more comfortable environment.
Why insulate your garage door with B&D?
- The reinforced insulated backing makes your door physically stronger, further reinforcing the steel.
- Sound level is measured in decibels (dB). With Insulation, you can reduce external noise by an impressive 18dB*. That means an insulated door has double the noise reduction compared to a standard, uninsulated Panelift door. *Acoustic Logic independent test (9/9/14)

Got a question?
-
Do I need insulation for my garage door?
Garage door insulation not only keeps your home cool in summer and warm in winter, it also strengthens the door from the inside with its strong, reinforced paneling. If you use you garage for more than just storing the car, for example a home office or gym, B&D recommend insulating your garage door.
-
Can you add insulation to an existing garage door?
Unfortunately no. Insulation can not be retrofitted to an existing garage door and needs to be installed at the point of purchase. -

How does garage door insulation work?
Garage door insulation works by regulating the temperature inside your garage, keeping it cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter. The insulation is typically made from materials like polystyrene or polyurethane foam. -
Is it worth the extra cost to buy an insulated garage door?
While insulated garage doors may be more expensive upfront, it can save you money in the long run by reducing energy consumption and lowering your energy bills. -
What is R-value and U-value, and how do they impact garage door insulation?
R-value and U-value are measurements of insulation effectiveness. R-value measures the insulation's ability to resist heat flow, while U-value measures the insulation's ability to conduct heat. The higher the R-value and the lower the U-value, the more effective the insulation.
