Garages are an important part of the home – come rain or shine, they need to be properly protected or they can be a source of constant insulation issues and security worries. Insulated roller doors are some of the most efficient and well protected doors you can get, helping you to protect your home and make it a real part of the space you inhabit. They deliver on all levels – they’re attractive, efficient and help make your home a better place to be and to live. They prove popular in the UK garage door market, because the use of additional insulation like foam and a high-quality insulating material like aluminium will make them dramatically more energy efficient. In turn, this can save energy and therefore save you money on your energy bills.

Roller doors are a sensible choice for UK homeowners wanting to upgrade their garage door from a simple up and over style. The use of a roller shutter makes garages more secure, yet at the same time, easier to access for homeowners. They roll up around a barrel, into the roof of the garage; the vertical opening style gives more space on the driveways and inside of the garage. The materials roller doors are made of will be well insulated naturally and you can choose certain materials to give your garage door an even higher quality style of insulation.

Insulation is so important for entrance doors, but why so for a garage door? These are some of the scenarios in which you might want to have an insulated door for your garage:

• It’s attached to your home. If your garage is a part of your home, you don’t want to be losing lots of heat from it. This will directly impact on the rest of your home, causing it to be colder and the cold air flows between the two. You will notice the change in temperature if you have a poorly insulated garage – and much of the insulation does come from the door as this is the perfect place for heat to escape. Often garages will be made from breeze blocks or brick, which can easily be made more energy efficient. It’s the door that is the biggest risk of being inefficient.
• You’re using your garage as an extra living space. Perhaps you have a home gym, or you use the space as a workshop or a DIY space. If it’s somewhere that you spend time and not just a place where you store boxes and ladders and old furniture, you will want to improve the insulation where possible.
• You keep cars or valuables in your garage. If there is something stored in your garage like a classic car, you will want to keep the space at a more consistent temperature. Garages are notorious for being cold and a better insulated door can really help. Think about investing in an insulated roller door to protect your possessions, protect your investments and save yourself money in the long run.
