Choosing a new garage door requires that you take a few things into consideration. It is important to take the appearance into account – making sure that it not only adds appeal and value to your home, but that it also meets any HOA requirements that your neighborhood puts forth. There are different types of materials to choose from, different hardware, and different operating styles. Yet, one of the most important factors is choosing an insulated garage door verses a non-insulated door.
Insulated garage doors will be more expensive than a non-insulated door, but the price is actually not significant when you understand exactly what benefits you are receiving. Your garage acts as more than just a place to park your car and store your stuff. Your garage is actually an extension of your home, and it acts as a buffer to your entire house. Your garage helps to control the temperature of your home – keeping out the cold air of winter and the hot, humid air of summer. This temperature control helps to regulate your heating and A/C bills throughout the year.
An insulated garage door allows a greater ability for your garage to buffer your home against temperature and climate changes. Adding an insulated garage door allows you a greater advantage of controlling your home’s temperature, lowing your utility costs, and adding value to your home. An insulated garage door also buffers against outside noise by providing a barrier between the outside and inside of your home. Because non-insulated garage doors are lighter and less solid, they not only allow noise to penetrate the door, but they are also noisier when opening and closing.
Insulated garage doors provide longevity that non-insulated doors do not. The extra layers of steel and insulation provide a longer lifespan of your garage door, also negating the extra cost up front. Insulated garage doors also resist dents and damage better, providing you with more value for your purchase.
