Premium Garage Doors Provided by Archway Make Homes More Energy Efficient

Jan. 17, 2012 - PRLog -- Garage door installation and repair company, Archway, explains to homeowners looking for new residential garage doors that an insulated garage door can keep their garages 15 degrees cooler in the summer and 15 degrees warmer in the winter. This 15 degree difference, in turn, greatly impacts the temperature of the rooms adjoining the garage.

Understanding the R-Value

“R-value” and “R-ratings” refer to the capacity of insulation to protect a space from temperature changes. In short, the higher the R-value, the better protection the insulating material provides.

Many homeowners judge insulating value by the relative thickness of the garage door when considering garage door replacement. However, the thickness of a garage door can be misleading. A garage door made with polystyrene, for example, may be twice as thick as a door made from polyurethane, yet still have a lower R-value. Instead of concerning themselves with thickness, homeowners should check the R-value.
