Having an insulated garage doors can transform your garage from a cold, dusty workspace or storage area to a comfortable room for working in and can help protect your valuable items from outside elements like rain and cold. This type of door also helps to keep your home more energy efficient by keeping the heat or cool air from being lost through the garage.
If you want to insulate your existing garage door, there are several options that will give you a good R-value without having to replace the whole thing. One option is to buy a vinyl-faced fiberglass batting insulation kit that can be taped to the door and has an R-8 insulating value. Another option is to buy precut expanded polystyrene (EPS) rigid foam panels that can be snapped into place between the horizontal rails on your garage door panel, which will give you an R-4 insulating value.
