Garage Insulation Benefits
Adding insulation to your garage offers several benefits that enhance both comfort and efficiency.
- Better Temperatue Control in Garage: Adding insulation to your garage helps in stabilizing its temperature, creating a more comfortable environment throughout the year.
- Increase Home Energy Efficiency: Insulated garages can lead to significant energy savings by reducing the need for heating and cooling. This is particularly beneficial for homes with attached garages that share walls with living spaces.
- Protect Vehicles & Storage Items: Insulation protects vehicles or any valuable storage in the garage from extreme temperatures and reduces risk of moisture damage.
- Increase Space Functionality: Overall, garage insulation is a a cost-effective investment that not only enhances the functionality of your home's space but also adds value to your property. It assists in effectively regulating the temperature of the garage, which is particularly advantageous if the area serves multiple purposes such as a workshop or entertainment space (man-caves, she-sheds, etc.).
Top-Quality Garage Insulation Solutions:
GSM Services offers a wide variety of insulation options and methods to enhance the comfort & efficiency of your garage.
Adding Garage Insulation
When homes are constructed, it's important to properly seal and insulate the shared walls and ceiling between the garage and the living areas. Unfortunately, this step is often overlooked by builders. GSM Services can assess your garage for insulation issues and make necessary corrections.
Because most houses have attached garages, there's a direct connection between these spaces, leading to a potential loss of heat or cool air. If your home has an attached garage, inadequate insulation could be affecting your comfort and increasing energy costs.
Upgrading your garage insulation can significantly improve comfort and energy efficiency throughout your home, depending on its design and how the garage is used.
Garage Insulations Options
Insulating the garage ceiling
It's essential to insulate the garage ceiling if there is living space above the garage. Without garage ceiling insulation, the living space above the garage will be uncomfortably cold in winter and hot in summer. You'll be wasting energy nearly all year round.
Insulating garage walls
When the garage is attached to the house, the wall that separates the garage from the living space should be air sealed, insulated, and finished with fire-rated drywall.
Insulating the garage with rigid foam
SilverGlo™ rigid foam insulation installed by the experts at GSM Services, can provide insulating and air sealing value superior to other types of garage insulation. SilverGlo™ offers high R-value, durability (it won’t compress like fiberglass) and immunity to mold and moisture damage. Plus, it has an integral radiant barrier for additional energy savings.
During winter, garages can lead to heat loss in your home, while in summer, they can contribute to heat gain. Cold or warm air can infiltrate the garage ceiling assembly and migrate to the living space above.
Garage Workshop Insulation
Many people like to use the garage for carpentry, woodworking or automotive projects.
If you have a garage workshop, it pays to insulate the garage so that you can work comfortably regardless of weather conditions outside.
Garage Door Insulation
There are two types of doors in garages: those for people and those for cars. A people-type garage door should be insulated and weather-stripped for energy efficiency, and rated for fire protection specified in local building codes.
When it comes to the larger garage doors used for cars, many homeowners choose insulated versions as well, either when a house is built or when replacing old garage doors.
Insulated garage doors have cores that are filled with foam insulation, and metal "skins" that are often textured and detailed to look like old-fashioned frame-and-panel doors made from a solid wood design.
Although insulated garage doors are more expensive than uninsulated "economy" versions, they're often well worth the extra investment. In addition to improving energy efficiency, the door's insulated core helps to prevent the metal surface from being dented and bent out of shape. Home insulation is very important to a home's overall comfort and efficiency.
