Insulation is immensely important, more so if you have a detached garage. Even if your garage is attached to your house, a well-insulated garage door will help reduce your energy costs significantly. Almost 15 to 20%! This is the reason why owners of older homes are going for a garage door installation with newer insulated doors.
When looking for garage door insulation, check the R value – a unit that determines the capacity of the insulation. The higher the R value, the better the insulating properties will be.
FYI: Most homeowners with an attached garage choose a door with an R value of 12.
Generally, a garage door insulation costs $50 to $500 . It depends on the R value chosen.
