Garage Door Weather Stripping & Insulation

We understand that garage doors play a crucial role in protecting your belongings from outdoor elements. Did you know that they also maintain your home’s energy efficiency? If you’ve noticed drafts, rising energy bills, or visible gaps in your garage door seals, it may be time to upgrade your garage door weather stripping or insulation. At Midwest Garage Door Company, we offer professional solutions to enhance your garage’s comfort and efficiency. Read on to learn everything you need to know about weather stripping and insulation, including the comprehensive service options we offer.

Benefits of A Properly Insulated Garage

  • Improved Energy Efficiency: Keeps your garage temperature stable and reduces strain on your home’s HVAC system.
  • Enhanced Comfort: Maintains a more consistent temperature year-round.
  • Noise Reduction: Helps to block outdoor noise and create a quieter space inside.
  • Extended Door Lifespan: Reduces wear and tear by minimizing exposure to moisture and temperature fluctuations.

Warning Signs

  • Noticeable Drafts: If you feel cold air seeping into your garage, your weather stripping may be worn or damaged.
  • Higher Energy Bills: Poor insulation can cause temperature fluctuations, which increases heating and cooling costs.
  • Visible Gaps or Cracks: If you see light or gaps along the edges of your garage door, it’s a sign that seals need replacing.
  • Increased Moisture or Pests: Faulty seals allow water, insects, or rodents to enter your garage.

Service Options

Left unaddressed, moisture or other weather-related hazards will get in and ruin your vehicle, personal property, and can even potentially lead to structural damage to your home. At Midwest Garage Door Company, we understand the importance of proper insulation and weather stripping. That’s why we offer comprehensive service options to address each of these concerns.

Insulation Upgrades

We offer garage door insulation options to suit any need. For example, our polystyrene panel insulation is a cost-effective and durable choice that provides solid thermal resistance for moderate climates. For those looking for superior energy efficiency, polyurethane foam insulation offers a high R-value, noise reduction, and increased structural strength. Our Haas Insulated Steel 2000 Series Residential Garage Doors feature 2-inch-thick foam polyurethane insulation. These doors provide a U-Factor of 0.094, which offers seven times the insulating value of wood or non-insulated doors. Reflective insulation is another effective solution, particularly for hot climates, as it minimizes radiant heat transfer and helps maintain a cooler garage environment.

Weather Stripping Solutions

We encourage you to check your weather stripping on an annual basis, as part of winterizing your garage. With our customized winterization services, our experienced technicians will pinpoint and resolve any potential weather stripping problems so that your garage functions reliably when you need it most. We also provide various weather stripping options to effectively seal your garage door. For example, bottom seals help prevent drafts and moisture infiltration by closing the gap between the door and the floor. Side and top seals create a tight barrier along the edges of the door, blocking wind, rain, and pests. For added durability, threshold seals provide a heavy-duty layer of protection along the bottom of the garage door, enhancing its ability to keep out external elements.
