Did the builder do it right?

When a home is built, the common wall and ceiling between the garage and the home's living space should be air-sealed and insulated. However, builders often skip this step. GSM Services can inspect your garage and correct garage insulation problems.

Since most houses have attached garages, and therefore a structural connection between these spaces, there's also a thermal connection. If you have an attached garage, there's a good chance that insufficient garage insulation is compromising your comfort and costing you money.

Depending on the design of the home and how your garage is regularly used, upgrading garage insulation may have a big impact on comfort and energy efficiency in the rest of the house.

Insulating the garage ceiling

It's essential to insulate the garage ceiling if there is living space above the garage. Without garage ceiling insulation, the living space above the garage will be uncomfortably cold in winter and hot in summer. You'll be wasting energy nearly all year round.

Insulating garage walls

When the garage is attached to the house, the wall that separates the garage from the living space should be air sealed, insulated, and finished with fire-rated drywall.

Insulating the garage with rigid foam

SilverGlo™ rigid foam insulation installed by the experts at GSM Services, can provide insulating and air sealing value superior to other types of garage insulation. SilverGlo™ offers high R-value, durability (it won’t compress like fiberglass) and immunity to mold and moisture damage. Plus, it has an integral radiant barrier for additional energy savings.

Insulated garage doors

There are two types of doors in garages: those for people and those for cars. A people-type garage door should be insulated and weather-stripped for energy efficiency, and rated for fire protection specified in local building codes.

When it comes to the larger garage doors used for cars, many homeowners choose insulated versions as well, either when a house is built or when replacing old garage doors.

Insulated garage doors have cores that are filled with foam insulation, and metal "skins" that are often textured and detailed to look like old-fashioned frame-and-panel doors made from a solid wood design.

Although insulated garage doors are more expensive than uninsulated "economy" versions, they're often well worth the extra investment. In addition to improving energy efficiency, the door's insulated core helps to prevent the metal surface from being dented and bent out of shape. Home insulation is very important to a home's overall comfort and efficiency.
