When choosing a garage door you may be bombarded with the choice of door types available to you. You can have up and over, sectional roller to name a few. All garage doors have their own benefits but one factor you should try and consider is the insulation they offer. This is especially important if your garage is attached to your home or if you spend period of time in there. The term insulated is often used when it comes to describing garage doors but it is important to understand the different levels of insulation and make sure that the garage door you pick matches you needs and expectations.

Insulation is vital to help retain heat and lessen the need for heating systems or for excessive use of heating systems. IT may be that you have gone to the trouble of insulating the garage roof and walls but haven’t really considered the door. A lot of heat can be lost through a garage door even when closed so it is vital that you consider the type of door you buy.

If you rarely need full access to the garage then why not install a pedestrian access door to allow you to only open that rather than the full door when entering and exiting.
