Top ten reasons why you should have a good insulated garage door

If you heat your garage or you dream to transform it in heating it, an insulated garage with a well-insulated garage door (45 mm - 1 ¾ in. thick, polyurethane injected, RSI 2.8 / R-16 insulation factor) does two things: it keeps out not only the cold air but also the sound. By simply parking your cars outside for a few days and turning on some temporary heat, the space can be used for all kinds of purposes. According to Garaga (www.garaga.com ), a Canadian garage door manufacturer, the garage has taken on several different roles and he would like to share with you the top ten uses.

1 – Workshop: of course, this would be the number one use, especially for men. Even in the summer, a good insulated garage door equipped with efficient perimeter weather-strips, helps to keep noises noise in (ex: use of circular saw).

2 – Renovation works: you usually work on the interior retrofit projects during the months just before spring and outdoor projects during the warmer part of the year. It is a lot easier to take standing in a warm garage than outside in the driveway in February.

3 – Mouldings and trims: for you, having a place to cut trim for the house is a must. This means that you constantly need to cut a piece of wood or else. No matter how accurate a mitre saw, they still create a great deal of sawdust. The garage is once again a haven for a job like this. The dust is contained to one specific location.

4 – Art studio: your family binges on artistic project all the time, often just before Christmas. The garage can be private and quiet or it can be a large enough space for a group project.

5 – Furniture refreshing: if you have ever done any refreshing you know about the smell that is given of from all those refreshing products. The garage is perfect for this especially in the dead of winter when it feels like the cold will never end and time moves so slowly.

6 – Heated storage facility: again, on numerous occasions you have used the space as a temporary storage for furniture that is either on its way in or out.

7 - Pet training: why not ? Pets are a part of our lifestyle and a most important part of your family. An accident in the house on the hardwood floor could cause a chaotic reaction…

8 – Party room: a two-car garage can be the perfect place for a party. You could have been to a couple over the years where the house did not suit a large crowd but the garage was the ideal spot.

9 – Kid’s playroom: the garage can be a place the kids can let their hair down. If your boys are small, they will love to play in a sand box or with their bicycle. If they are older and in the band phase, the garage is becoming a music room and keeps sounds in . 

10 – Finally a garage is a garage: if you never park your car in there, for sure you will appreciate being able to keep your snow blower,  your Quad or your snowmobile in a warm garage for easier starting during the winter months.

“As you see, garage is more than a place to park your car” Garaga says. Sometimes, it is a kind of an extension of your home for the cold months. That is the reason it becomes very important to choose the best insulated garage door with the best air tightness and thermal brake system.

good points all made...a garage can be so much more than just a garage and if you put a little effort in and treat it like an extension of your house rather than an extension of your storage, then you're half way to making the most of it.

Having a insulated garage door will help with the proper regulation of the garage's temperature. This will limit the transmission of heat, especially if you have a room above the garage.

If the garage is part of the house and there is a room above the garage, it should be insulated and weather striped. Keep the heat inside your house and don't give it a reason to escape.

[Nepean Garage Door Repair]

If warming up your car in the morning remember to open your garage door just enough for the emissions to escape. It is dangerous to have your vehicle idling in a fully insulated garage
