What does the insulation do once installed?
Reflective foil insulation panels create a barrier between the inside of a property and the external environment. Meaning, on a hot day the foil panels will reflect the heat back out and away from a building, preventing it from getting overly hot. This works in reverse during the winter too as the panels will barricade the inside of the garage from the harsh outside elements, keeping the warmth inside.

Does insulation a garage door make a huge difference?
Garage door is the largest opening in your home with no thermal protection allowing external weather conditions to impact the temperature inside your house. Insulating your garage door can actually have a big impact on the overall running of your home. If you haven’t already considered installing insulation, here are a few reasons why you should.
Reducing Energy Consumption
Do not be fooled, garages are usually the last room of the house that is considered when it comes to insulation. However, despite not being an integral part of the home, a garage can often be a large contributing factor to a higher energy bill. This is due to their construction and their placement in the home. Many are prone to gaps which enable draughts and have rooms built above or adjoining to them. This leads to the cold air from the outside being transferred into the home. Insulating your garage door will provide a better thermal boundary for heat transfer and will prevent heat from escaping. As a result, ensuring the temperature of your garage is moderated and reducing the amount of energy needed to heat the rest of your home.
Reducing Noise Pollution
Insulated garage doors make your home less likely to experience noise pollution. If you’re adding a layer of insulation to your garage door, this will make the panels thicker and less likely to vibrate. This insulation also helps to sound proofing and prevent noise pollution from outside, creating a barrier that dampens the sound from travelling inwards.
Increase Lifespan
Insulating your garage door helps to prolong the lifespan of its use. This is because the insulation can prevent both internal and external components from warping or becoming damaged through changes in weather conditions. A layer of insulation, creates another barrier, strengthening your garage door and making it less likely to be damaged easily and increasing its durability.
How effective is garage door insulation?
Will make a 13-17 degrees temperature difference all year round.
