Garage Door Insulation Services

Insulation for Our Wet, Cool Climate

Most Lower Mainland homeowners think of garage door insulation as a cold-weather upgrade. But in our climate, insulation does three jobs that matter just as much year-round: it prevents the condensation that damages stored items and damp-cold garages, it quiets the noise of rain hitting uninsulated steel panels, and it reduces the heat bleed from your home into an attached garage during cool damp months.

Attached garages in Vancouver, Burnaby, and North Shore homes commonly have condensation problems that homeowners don't realize are happening -until tools rust, stored cardboard softens, or the garage smells musty. An uninsulated door is usually the biggest culprit. Insulating the door creates a thermal barrier that keeps the interior surface warmer than dew point, preventing moisture from forming. You notice the difference immediately, and so do your stored items.

We offer retrofit kits for existing doors (polystyrene panels or polyurethane foam inserts, $300-$600 typically) and full insulated door replacements for older doors near end of life anyway. Every insulation job includes a weatherstripping check -insulation only works if the perimeter seals too, and rotted bottom seals are the most common leak point in Lower Mainland garages.
