Do you want to make sure that the garage doors of your existing or new house are insulated?
You do not have to hire an expert for this job. It’s a simple task that can be carried out without any professional assistance.
Measure the temperature of the overhead door
With an infrared thermometer, measure the temperature of the door from inside and outside. If your door is insulated, the temperature inside will be higher than outside during the winter season. On the other hand, the door will be hotter from outside during the summer season. If the temperature is the same on both sides, the door is not insulated.
Check the panel design
If the panel design is visible only from the outside, your door is insulated. The door is non-insulated if you can see the panel design on both sides.
Check the number of layers in the door
Door manufacturers increase the insulation by increasing the number of layers in it. Insulated doors have more than two layers. If your door has a single layer, you can be sure that it is non-insulated.
Check the manufacturer’s website
If you know the name of your door manufacturer and the door model, you can easily determine if your door is insulated. All you have to do is check the details of your overhead door model on the manufacturer’s website.
