Did You Know

The garage is the biggest opening in your house and it contributes to 25% of the cold and heat inside your home. Insulating the garage door (roller, panel, and tilt-type) improves the comfort of your home by keeping the temperature in the area more stable.Despite the initial cost, an insulated garage door has a number of benefits. Energy conservation and savings on electricity bills are some of the long-term advantages. Noise reduction and increased durability are also good reasons why homeowners on the Gold Coast and around Australia should choose to insulate their garage doors.

Types of Garage Doors

The most common types of garage doors are roller, panel, and tilt. In this article, let us talk about the advantages of each type of garage door.

Garage Roller Doors

A roller garage door is popular for good reason. It saves driveway space by opening and closing vertically. It can be made of steel or aluminium and can be manual or electric.

Advantages of Garage Roller Doors

Versatile and Customisable. It can be installed in a structural opening of any size and shape. It also fits well in a garage with a low ceiling.

Minimal Space Requirement. Because it opens and closes vertically, there is more space available in the actual garage. It allows you to park your car right up against the door.

Attractive. In terms of style, design, and colour, there is a wide range of options for roller garage doors. You can easily find one that matches the appearance of the house.

Convenient. The door can be manually or electronically operated, depending on the homeowner’s preference. You can park anywhere without worrying if the door will hit the car. Automatic roller garage doors are even more convenient as it eliminates the need to leave the car just to get into the garage.

Safe and Secure. Garage Roller doors operated by remote controls serve as protection against burglars. The electronic locking system is harder to penetrate compared to physical locks.

Panel Garage Doors

A panel garage door is composed of smaller panels combined together to form one large door. For this reason, this is also known as a sectional garage door.

The door slides along a track as it opens and closes. In fact, it goes parallel to the ceiling so homeowners can save space inside the garage. However, the door also requires internal headroom space.

Advantages of Panel Garage Doors

Reliable. Garage doors can be made from steel, aluminium, or fibreglass. These materials are thick and robust, which make the door durable and reliable.

Space Saver. Like a roller garage door, a panel or sectional garage door opens vertically without the need to swing or tilt outwards.

Modern. Since sectional doors are popular, it easy to find a modern and attractive design. There are

Good for a wide garage. Most panel garage doors have a width of 5.5 m, although it can be made much wider.

Tilt Garage Doors

A tilt garage door is one large material that opens by tilting outwards and upwards until the door is parallel to the ceiling. Since the door tilts or protrudes outward, the driveway space becomes smaller. To avoid car dents, the vehicle should be parked at a safe distance from the door.

Advantages of Tilt Garage Doors

Ideal for a garage with small headspace. It does not require much headroom so it works for garages with limited height.

Easy to operate. Most newly-installed tilt garage doors are motorised or automated. This makes the operation of the door very convenient for the homeowner. Automated doors also offer better security.

Customisable. It is easy to customise the size, design, and colour of tilt garage doors.

Insulation of Garage Doors

Adding insulation to the back of the garage door is one of the best ways to keep electricity bills lower during winter. This also makes the garage cooler during summer. In addition, insulated garage doors act as noise barriers.

There are different kinds of insulation materials that can be used for a roller, panel, and tilt garage door.

Glass wool (Fibreglass). This is made of fine glass fibres bonded in a way that will trap air. It is fire resistant and long-lasting.

Gases are poor thermal conductors. When they are trapped in a material, as in the case of fibreglass batts, the gases serve as thermal insulators that slow down the heat transfer.

Polyester. This is a synthetic material that usually comes in the form of batts or blankets. It is non-itchy with no breathable fibres, which makes it safe for people who have asthma or dust allergy. In addition, polyester is non-flammable.

Important Considerations

First, make sure that the insulation system will not affect the motors and springs of the garage door, whether it is a roller, panel, or tilt type. The operation should still be smooth after the installation.

Next, the insulation must be properly installed for it to be effective. If you find it hard to follow the instructions on the DIY kits, it is better to call the help of professionals.

Finally, keep in mind that water affects the thermal performance or R-value of the insulation material. Performance drops as the material absorb moisture. Make sure to always do a maintenance check during cold weather.
