TLS Insulation offers expert garage door insulation services to help you improve the energy efficiency and comfort of your property. Our high-quality insulation materials provide excellent thermal performance, reducing heat loss or gain through your garage door. By insulating your garage door, you can maintain more consistent indoor temperatures and save money on energy bills.
Garage door insulation involves adding insulative materials to your garage door to help control the temperature within the garage space for your Florida home. This process not only improves the thermal efficiency of the garage but also impacts the energy efficiency of your entire home, especially if the garage is attached.
With insulated garage doors, the garage becomes more than just a place to park your car. It can comfortably be used for hobbies, as a workshop, or for additional storage without the extremes of cold or heat.
Garage insulation also absorbs sound, which means less noise from the street can disturb you, and noise from tools or machinery in the garage won’t easily reach the rest of the house.
Initial Consultation:
Our process begins with a thorough consultation to understand your specific needs and preferences. Whether you’re looking to reduce energy costs, improve comfort, or both, we tailor our services to meet your goals.
We inspect your existing garage door to evaluate its condition, material, and structure, ensuring it’s suitable for insulation.
Choosing the Right Insulation:
Based on the assessment, we recommend the best type of insulation for your garage door. Whether it’s fiberglass batts, foam boards, or reflective panels, we discuss the benefits of each option and help you make an informed decision.
We provide a detailed quote covering all costs associated with the insulation installation, ensuring transparency and no surprises.
Scheduling the Installation:
We arrange a convenient time for the installation, respecting your schedule and ensuring minimal disruption to your daily routine.
Pre-installation Setup:
On the day of installation, our team prepares the area to ensure a clean and safe working environment. This includes covering any nearby items to protect them from dust or debris and setting up any necessary safety equipment.
Installing the Insulation:
Our skilled technicians begin by carefully measuring and cutting the insulation material to fit each panel of your garage door perfectly. Precision is key to ensuring maximum effectiveness. For fiberglass or foam board insulation, we fit each piece into the door panels, ensuring they are snug and secure.
If using reflective insulation, we attach the panels to the inside of the garage door using adhesive, double-sided tape, or fasteners, depending on the specific product and door material.
Ensuring Functionality:
After the insulation is in place, we check the balance and functionality of the garage door. This step is crucial as the additional weight of the insulation might require adjustments to the garage door springs or opener to maintain smooth operation and ensure safety.
Garage door insulation can be highly effective in improving the energy efficiency of your home. It helps maintain a more stable temperature in the garage, reducing the load on your home’s heating and cooling system. This is particularly beneficial if you have living spaces above or adjacent to the garage. Insulated garage doors can also help reduce noise from outside and increase the overall comfort of your garage space.
The best type of insulation for your garage door depends on your specific needs and the climate. For Florida where we operate, Fiberglass batt insulation is affordable and easy to install, making it a popular choice. Foam board insulation offers higher R-values in thinner materials, making it ideal for keeping the garage door functional without adding excessive bulk. Reflective insulation is best for very hot climates as it reflects radiant heat away from the garage.
The cost of insulating a garage door can vary depending on the size of the door and the type of insulation material used.
Professional installation like what we offer can cost anywhere from $200 to $600, including materials and labor, depending on the complexity and type of insulation.
Insulating your garage door can add value to your home by increasing its energy efficiency, which is a desirable feature for many homebuyers. It can also enhance the aesthetic appeal of the garage and the functionality of the space, both of which are attractive to potential buyers.
The recommended R-value for garage door insulation depends on your geographic location and climate. In general, an R-value of R-8 to R-16 is suitable for most homes. In colder climates, aiming for the higher end of this range can provide better thermal efficiency.
Yes – Florida offers rebates or tax credits for installing energy-efficient insulation. Please see our page here for the full details.
If your garage feels significantly colder in the winter and hotter in the summer than the rest of your house, it might benefit from insulation. Other indicators include noticing that rooms adjacent to or above the garage are less comfortable, or your energy bills are higher than expected due to heat loss or gain through the garage.
