What Is an Insulated Garage Door?

Insulated garage doors are stronger, more durable garage doors that mainly do what their name implies — insulate your garage as well as your home. Temperature control is one of the many benefits of insulated garage doors.

Insulated Garage Door R-Value

The R-value of a garage door is the efficiency with which your garage door blocks heat. A garage door with a higher R-value will be a better insulator, and those with lower R-values will allow more air in from the outside. Insulated garage doors have high R-values, and, depending on the kind you get, are far more effective at keeping your home comfortable than typical garage doors. What is the difference between insulated and uninsulated garage doors? The R-value can show you real statistics about the ways insulated garage doors perform.

How Do Insulated Garage Doors Work?

How Do Insulated Garage Doors Work? Insulated garage doors have an added layer of steel and insulation materials, making them more effective in blocking hot and cold air. These extra layers also create a more durable and safer garage door. Usually, the door is insulated with either polystyrene or polyurethane.

Insulated garage doors have an added layer of steel and insulation materials, making them more effective in blocking hot and cold air. These extra layers also create a more durable and safer garage door. Usually, the door is insulated with either polystyrene or polyurethane:

  • Polystyrene: This is a commonly used insulation material because it is cheaper than polyurethane, but it still carries effective insulating capabilities. Though not as high an R-value as polyurethane, it is still more insulating than your typical garage door.
  • Polyurethane: This insulating material is denser than polystyrene, making it a more effective insulator and a better defense from noise and vibrations.

These two materials are the main drivers of insulation. To choose one over the other, you should focus on what you want out of your insulated garage door, whether that be the best possible insulation or affordability. Weighing those aspects can guide you to an informed decision.

Benefits of Insulated Garage Doors

Benefits of Insulated Garage Doors

Even with information about what insulated garage doors are and how they work, it’s natural to be questioning whether insulated garage doors are worth it. However, insulated garage doors have a vast array of benefits that will help your garage and your home as well:

  • Temperature control: You probably open and close your garage door multiple times a day. Each time you do this, you’re letting the outside air into your garage, which then can seep into other areas of your home. In typical garage doors without adequate insulation, air can seep in through the door itself — even when it’s closed. Poor insulation can cause you to lose control over the temperature in your home, and you might have to crank up the heat or air conditioning to counter it. With insulated garage doors, your garage will be protected from the climate outside. If you live in an area that experiences extreme heat or cold, this is a huge advantage.
  • Reduced energy costs: More control over your temperature will also result in lower energy costs. Instead of your heating or cooling system having to work overtime to make up for poor insulation, you can be confident that your insulated garage door will keep extreme temperatures out. Though you might be investing in an insulated garage door, you’re also investing in energy savings.
  • Less noise: If you spend time in your garage, an insulated garage door can be a great way to block out noise from the outside. Things like vibrations and shaking will also be reduced, and you’ll have a quiet room that you can comfortably spend time in.
  • Security: Your garage is one of the first lines of defense on your home. If you have a weak, hollow garage door, it’s like having a fragile front door. A strong, durable, insulated garage door can give you the safety and security you need to make sure those in your house are safe at all times.

Do I Need an Insulated Garage Door in Florida?

Insulated garage doors are a great way to keep your Florida home cool in the summer. Your garage might be in a spot where the sun hits steadily all day, and in that case, your garage could become extremely hot. An insulated garage door can help keep your garage cool and, in turn, keep the rest of your house cool as well.

Insulated garage doors are ideal for any climate with extreme temperatures, as they help to keep temperatures comfortable inside, keep energy costs low and provide sound barriers and security.

ULISES VARGAS our tech was very professional and polite. Explained the issue with the old LiftMaster and proposed three options. We chose to replace the old unit. He installed the new unit in no time and completed maintenance on the rest of the door. We would recommend Banko and Mr. Vargas.

The technician was on time and explained why the opener was malfunctioning. He offered three options along with the price of each. When he was done, he showed my wife and I how to operate the new opener and how to change the batteries. We were very happy with the technician and Banko for the quick response.

The customer service was quick to find an open slot and get someone to my home that morning. Johnny the tech was quick and professional and got me back working in no time.

Dan Rodriguez, Wesley Chapel, FL

We love our garage door. The original installation in 2016 was great. The service today 3/11/24 was awesome!! Robert was the technician and was very prompt, thorough, friendly & clean. I would highly recommend BANKO Overhead Door. From sales, install & service, they are a complete service provider that treats their customers as a valuable resource.

Kimberly Johnson, Seminole, FL

The spring replacement was done professionally and quickly. We are very pleased with the work performed by the Johnny, the Banko service technician. The repair was completed less than 24 hours after our call to Banko. It was done at a fair price, one that was the same as what multiple neighbors paid Banko for the same repair, and at a price much less than quoted by another vendor. We are extremely happy with Banko’s response, and the quality of the work and parts provided.

Daniel McMahon, Trinity, FL

Terrific experience! Zach, from Banko, was courteous, pleasant, efficient, did the job quickly and at the reasonable price the company quoted. I definitely recommend.
