Garage Insulation - Weird or Not?

Friday July 3, 2009
Garage Door Insulation

Garage insulation - some people have zero insulation, some people have fully insulated garages. It's not so strange when you consider the fact that the garage, while not living space, is attached to your living space and thus affects that living space's heating and cooling.

So, I don't think that some minimal garage insulation is weird. That means:

  • Insulate garage door.
  • Insulate garage door threshold.
See how things stand. Then, if you must, go from there to more labor intensive projects, such as insulating the wall between garage door and house.

That's only for people who don't work in their garage. And I'm not talking about the occasional oil-change or car vacuuming. People who work under cars in the winter or who do hobbies or woodworking--they probably want to go full-bore and insulate everything in the garage, including the garage attic and the side (exterior) walls.
