INSULATE GARAGE DOOR CORRECTLY
WE SHOW WHAT IS IMPORTANT
There are various reasons for both private individuals and commercial enterprises to insulate a garage door. The most important arguments in favour of insulating the garage door include
- higher energy efficiency
- better sound insulation
- less condensation
- protection from the weather
- more security
- less draughts
- even temperature in the interior
- Protection against pests
- Increase in the value of the property
The numerous advantages show why thermal insulation is important for garage doors. If you are interested in insulating your garage door, you can either install a new garage door with insulation or retrofit your existing garage door with insulation. In this guide, you will find out when it is worth retrofitting insulation to the inside of a garage door and what advantages modern garage doors with thermal insulation offer.
INCREASE ENERGY EFFICIENCY WITH GARAGE DOOR INSULATION
In addition to security, quality and design, a garage door with insulation offers you above all optimum energy efficiency. Heat loss between the garage and the outside area is reduced. The insulation of the garage door ensures an even temperature in the interior.
In times of rising energy prices, these benefits are important arguments in favour of insulating the garage door or installing a new garage door with insulation.
The cost of insulating the garage door pays for itself within a short time and also helps to protect the environment. If these arguments convince you to insulate your garage door, you will find a wide range of garage doors with thermal insulation and thermal break at Novoferm.
HOW CAN I INSULATE MY GARAGE DOOR IN THE LONG TERM?
There are various ways to insulate your garage door in the long term:
- Glue or screw insulation panels or insulation mats to the inside of the garage door
- Attach rubber profiles to the edges to prevent draughts
- Apply insulating paint to the surface of the garage door to reflect heat
- Use sandwich panels made of two layers of sheet metal with an insulating layer in the centre
- Insulate edges and corners with sealing foam
In addition to the measures listed to insulate your garage door in the long term, you can also opt for a new garage door with a high level of thermal insulation. The experts at Novoferm will be happy to advise you!
CAN THE GARAGE DOOR INSULATION ALSO BE RETROFITTED?
You can retrofit insulation to the inside of your garage door to save energy and costs. You can choose between different methods:
- Glue or screw insulation panels to the inside of the garage door, provided it is a smooth surface.
- Retrofitting the inside of the garage door with an insulating film. The film is flexible and adapts to irregular surfaces.
- Replace the existing garage door panel with a so-called sandwich panel. The robust and water-repellent panel has a supporting and insulating rigid foam core on the inside, which provides effective insulation for the garage door.
Retrofitting insulation to the garage door is always associated with costs and effort. You should therefore contact a specialist or, alternatively, consider upgrading to a modern garage door with thermal insulation.
WHICH DOORS HAVE HIGH GARAGE DOOR INSULATION?
When choosing a garage door, you can choose between these designs:
- Sectional door
- Up-and-over door
- Swing door
- Roller door
- Garage door with side door
At Novoferm, all models are available with effective insulation for the garage door. Depending on your requirements and local conditions, you can choose between different insulation levels of 20 mm, 45 mm or 60 mm for a sectional door.
