Insulated Garage Doors

You wouldn't buy a home if its walls and attic weren't insulated, would you? Then why would you let your energy dollars slip through your garage door. Insulation may be the last thing you think of when it comes to a garage door, but it shouldn't be. At Precision Overhead Garage Door Service of Virginia Beach, our insulated garage doors provide our Hampton Roads, VA customers with increased energy efficiency, temperature regulation, superb soundproofing, and a quieter door.

Benefits of Insulated Garage Doors and Weather Stripping

If you want to stay warmer in the winter and cooler in the summer without increasing your energy bill, you should invest in an insulated garage door. However, it should be noted that garage door weather stripping also works to reduce energy loss, although not always as effectively.

There are many choices for insulated garage door styles, including traditional panel, carriage house style, and estate style. Depending on your garage door's model and material, garage door insulation typically comes in two forms: polyurethane insulation and polystyrene insulation.

Polyurethane Insulation

If you want the highest insulation value from your garage door, select one that uses polyurethane as its insulation. This insulation foam is injected between the skins of the door and is often used in steel garage doors, although some wooden garage door models also use it.

Polystyrene insulation

While polyurethane insulation is injected into the door components, polystyrene insulation is first crafted into panels and then incorporated into the construction of an insulated garage door.
