CORRECTLY INSULATE THE GARAGE DOOR
WE SHOW WHAT IS IMPORTANT
There are several reasons why both private individuals and commercial enterprises need to insulate their garage door. The most important arguments in favour of garage door insulation include
- greater energy efficiency
- better sound insulation
- reduction of condensation
- weather protection
- increased safety
- fewer draughts
- even temperature inside
- Protection from vermin
- Increased property value
The many advantages show why thermal insulation is important for garage doors. If you are interested in insulating your garage door, you can install a new garage door with insulation or retrofit your existing garage door with insulation. In this guide, you will find out when it is worth installing insulation inside your garage door and what advantages modern garage doors with thermal insulation offer.
INCREASE ENERGY EFFICIENCY WITH GARAGE DOOR INSULATION
In addition to safety, quality and design, a garage door with insulation offers above all optimal energy efficiency. Heat loss between the garage and the outside is reduced. Garage door insulation ensures an even temperature inside.
In times of rising energy prices, these advantages are important arguments in favour of insulating the garage door or installing a new garage door with insulation.
The cost of insulating the garage door pays for itself in a short time and helps protect the environment. If these arguments convince you to insulate your garage door, you will find a wide range of garage doors with thermal insulation and thermal break at Novoferm.
HOW CAN I INSULATE MY GARAGE DOOR IN THE LONG TERM?
There are various ways to insulate the garage door in the long term:
- Glue or screw insulating panels or insulating mats to the inside of the garage door.
- Apply rubber profiles to the edges to prevent draughts.
- Apply an insulating paint to the surface of the garage door to reflect heat.
- Use sandwich panels consisting of two layers of sheet metal with an insulating layer in the middle.
- Insulate edges and corners with sealing foam
In addition to the measures listed for long-term garage door insulation, you can also opt for a new garage door with a high level of thermal insulation. The experts at Novoferm will be happy to advise you!
CAN THE GARAGE DOOR INSULATION ALSO BE RETROFITTED?
To save energy and costs, you can install insulation on the inside of the garage door. You can choose from several methods:
- Glue or screw the insulation boards to the inside of the garage door, as long as it is a smooth surface.
- Adapt the inside of the garage door with an insulating film. The film is flexible and adapts to uneven surfaces.
- Replacing the existing garage door panel with a so-called sandwich panel. This robust, water-repellent panel has a rigid foam core for support and insulation on the inside, providing effective insulation for the garage door.
Adapting the insulation to the garage door always involves cost and effort. It is therefore advisable to consult a specialist or, alternatively, to consider upgrading to a modern garage door with thermal insulation.
WHICH DOORS HAVE HIGH GARAGE DOOR INSULATION?
When choosing a garage door, you can choose from these models:
- Sectional door
- Overhead door
- Swing door
- Roller door
- Garage door with side door
