Q. Why is my garage to drafty, to hot or to cold?
The extent of drafts in your garage door(s) can be reduced. Sectional doors and roller doors come complete with a weather resistant strip at the bottom of the door that creates an effective seal to keep wind and leaves outside your garage. An optional extra jamb seal is often installed for sectional garage doors, which also reduces drafts along the sides of the garage door.
To maximize your energy efficiency, consider replacing any garage doors attached to heated living space with an insulated door or installing an insulation kit. This will help keep the temperature stabilized in the garage. An insulated garage door will not only provide an energy-saving airtight seal, but also an effective water seal too.
There are many do-it-yourself garage door insulation kits available to add to an existing overhead door. If you decide to do this, be careful about applying insulation yourself to the door as it may affect the balance and proper operation of your garage door.
