Polystyrene or polyurethane are the insulation materials used to insulate garage doors by placing them between your garage door panels. Polystyrene insulation is cheaper and has basic insulation capability. Polyurethane insulation is a binding foam that expands and bonds to the surface. Polyurethane insulation offers maximum insulation and durability to your door.
Garage door insulation means layers in your garage door that will help keep your garage comfortable. Like insulation does within the walls of your home, garage door insulation protects your garage from the outside elements. Feel free to contact our installation experts at J.A.G. & Sons Overhead Door to learn more about some garage door insulation options that best fits your budget!
Insulated garage doors are a worthy investment because of their R-value. The R-value measures the energy efficiency of the insulation material or how thick the insulation needs to be in order for it to be effective.
View our Garage Doors and Products page for insight into which garage door brand can get you set up with the best R-value.
The upfront cost of insulated garage doors is due to their major energy-efficient qualities. On top of the average garage door installation, we have to account for the additional insulation materials that are specifically designed for garage door panels and maximum functionality.

Another great long-term benefit for insulated versus non-insulated garage doors is the exponential value specialty insulation adds to your home overall. An insulated garage door’s extra coverage won’t let air pass through easily. Thus, you are less inclined to mess with the thermostat once the season changes with an insulated garage door.
