Non-Insulated Vs. Insulated:

Finding the perfect garage door for your home and lifestyle does not have to be time-consuming. Understanding R- Value is an important part of making your decision.  

R value measures the thermal efficacy of your garage door, representing the ability to block cold or hot air from entering your home. The higher the R- value the greater the insulating power.  

In general, an insulated garage door is the best long-term investment. Though insulated garage doors are more expensive than non-insulated, the energy savings and year-round usability of the garage allow the insulated door to pay for itself. Insulated garage doors are stable all year round and are more durable and have a sturdier appearance.

The R-value is a measure of how well a two-dimensional barrier, such as a layer of insulation, a window or a complete wall or ceiling, resists the conductive flow of heat.

DO YOU NEED AN INSULATED GARAGE DOOR? ANSWER THESE 5 QUESTIONS: 

1.Do you have an attached garage? 

2.Do you live in an area where temperatures either a) vary drastically throughout the year, or b) are extremely hot or cold year-round? 

3.Do you use your garage as a workspace for hobbies? 

4.Do you keep any animals or pets in your garage? 

5. Are you planning on selling your home within the next 10 years? 
 
 If you answered YES to two or more of the above questions, an insulated garage door is the best option for you

If you answered NO to three or more of the above questions, you may not need to spend the extra money on an insulated garage door. 

If you have a detached garage, you are probably not too concerned about the temperature inside your garage. Likewise, outside temperatures and noise will not be able to creep into your home from your garage. 

You could also bypass the expense of an insulated garage door if you live in an area with a mild year-round climate, as outside elements will not have a significant impact on temperatures indoor. 

Another factor to consider is how often you operate your garage door throughout the day, and if you tend to leave it open for extended periods of time. Each time the garage door opens, your home’s thermal envelope is broken – insulation will not serve much value to you if your garage door is constantly being operated or is kept open for long time spans. 

Regardless of your decision, Dover will be sure to find you that perfect door at the perfect price.
