Professional Insulated Garage Door Installation Services
Insulated doors have foam or other insulation between steel skins or behind the panels. They are rated by R-value, which measures resistance to heat flow, though the real effect depends on the whole garage, including walls, ceiling and seals. Insulated doors are also typically stiffer and quieter than single-layer steel doors.
Signs you may need this service
- The garage gets extremely hot in summer
- You use the garage as a workshop, gym or laundry area
- Rooms next to or above the garage feel warm
- The current door is thin and rattles
