It is important to know what the 5 key components of an insulated garage door are before you make a purchase. Being informed and asking the right questions will help you make the correct choice for your Bay Area home. In addition to lowering your energy bills and making your garage a more comfortable work or recreation area, insulation also reduces outside noise and enhances the strength of your garage door. The experts at Madden Door & Sons point out key features to look for in an insulated garage door.

  1. Material: Garage doors are available in a wide range of materials with varying insulating capabilities. Which one provides the best insulation—steel, fiberglass, aluminum, vinyl or wood garage doors? Traditionally, wood is considered to be a better insulator than most other materials. However, it is also possible to enhance the level of insulation of your glass and metal garage doors. Our custom garage door company offers a range of solutions to meet your unique needs.
  2. Type of insulation: Polystyrene (styrofoam) and polyurethane (spray foam) are commonly used insulation materials for garage doors. Although quite similar, they provide different levels of protection. Since polystyrene is inserted into the panels of garage doors, it is not always an exact fit and there is a possibility of air getting in. On the other hand, polyurethane foam expands when sprayed into the door. This allows for better surface bonding and enhances your door’s insulation against heat loss or gain as well as noise.The thicker the polyurethane foam, the better the insulation.
  3. R-Value: This helps you determine the level of resistance your garage door will provide to heat flow. A combination of the insulation properties of the door’s material and the type of insulation, a higher R-value is preferable.
  4. Fireproof: It is also important to make sure that the garage door insulation material is fireproof.
  5. Quality construction: The service life and durability of your garage door depends on both material and workmanship quality. Well-made garage doors can last for years.
