Here in Australia, we live with an extreme climate and protecting your home from the elements is essential. An insulated garage door in Sydney is a great way to improve your home’s comfort and energy efficiency.
In this post, we explore why insulated garage doors are a worthwhile investment for Australian homeowners.
What are Insulated Garage Doors?
Standard Colorbond Garage doors are made of a single layer of steel and offer little to no thermal insulation properties - have you ever touched a metal roller door with the sun on it in the middle of summer? Ouch.
In contrast, Insulated Garage Doors feature a layer of insulation between two layers of metal, creating an insulated panel and protecting your garage from both heat and cold as well as noise and moisture.
Increased Energy Efficiency
Sydney’s harsh summers and cold winters make insulated garage doors useful for regulating garage temperatures. By keeping your garage warm in winter and cool in summer months, you’ll rely less on heating and cooling systems—leading to lower energy costs.
Improved Comfort
Whether your garage is a workshop, home gym, or play area, door insulation keeps the temperature comfortable year round. You will gain usable floor space in your home and you won’t have to deal with extreme heat or cold while making the most of your garage space.
Noise Reduction
Sydney has some pretty noisy streets, but having an insulated garage door can help reduce external sounds. The insulation acts as a sound barrier, making your garage and your home a quieter and more peaceful space.
Increased Durability
Insulated garage doors are built to withstand all types of wild weather conditions. They resist temperature changes, moisture, and daily wear and tear, making them more durable and longer-lasting. With less maintenance required, they’ll save you money over time.
Enhanced Property Value
Investing in an insulated garage door not only improves energy efficiency and comfort but also increases your property’s value. Potential buyers are putting energy efficient homes at the top of their shopping lists, with Australian Homebuyers willing to pay up to a huge 53% extra for an energy efficient home according to the Australian Financial Review.
It is easy to see why Insulated Garage Doors are becoming more popular with new homes and renovations, helping you to achieve more space in your home and regulate noise and temperature from the outside world.
