Is Insulating Your Garage Worth the Investment?
A garage is often so much more than just where you park your vehicle. It’s a workspace, storage space, shed, or even a home gym! However, most garages are not weather-proof, which means if it’s cold outside—it’s cold in your garage, too. Learn more about how insulation can help make your garage more comfortable below.
Make Your Morning Commute More Comfortable
Spokane winters are known for being cold and cloudy, with months of freezing temperatures and snowfall. And there’s nothing worse than getting into a freezing cold vehicle to go to work everyday! A garage that has not been insulated might shield you from the snow and frost, but it won’t do much to guard against the cold.
Create a Space to Work All Year Round
Adequate insulation is a must-have for those of you who prefer to use your garage as a workshop! Space heaters work well in a pinch, but they’re not an ideal long-term solution—and they’re also not very safe, especially if you’re working with potentially hazardous materials such as paint or varnish. Combine a proper garage heater with some insulation, and enjoy a cozy, comfortable space no matter the weather.
Keep Your Belongings Safe and Sound
Many homeowners use their garage for additional storage. Keep in mind, however, that high heat or freezing temperatures can cause damage to some items. For example, plastic becomes brittle and cracks easily when it freezes. Insulation helps regulate your garage’s temperature, keeping your items safe throughout the seasons.
Turn Your Garage Into a Living Space
Home gym, home office—there are endless ways to use your garage. Adding some insulation makes it easy to turn your garage into a living space, which is a great option if you’re running out of room inside your home. Insulation can also help control noise levels, which is perfect if you’re planning on using your garage as a practice or recording studio.
Stay Cool in the Summer
It might seem like a no-brainer that insulation helps keep your space warm during the winter, but don’t forget that it will also keep your garage cool during the summer, too! Insulation works by controlling the amount of heat that transfers through the walls, keeping the heat out during the summer months.
Types of Garage Insulation
Have we convinced you yet? There are many different types of insulation available for your garage, each with its own pros and cons. While it’s always easiest to insulate a new build, some types—such as spray foam insulation—can be installed in existing spaces without needing to tear the walls down.
