How Insulated Garage Doors Can Help With Energy Bills

With the colder weather well and truly upon us and energy bills increasing at an unprecedented rate, people across the country are feeling the pinch.

Whether it’s homeowners or businesses, the cost of the energy crisis is having a broad impact across a range of areas. People everywhere are keen to save money in any way they can. With this in mind, it’s likely that your customers will be looking to do the same.

One great way that people can reduce their energy bills is to ensure they have appropriate insulation in place, including insulated garage doors. 

Here at Tradedor, we can provide you with a whole host of insulated garage doors that can help your customers save money on energy bills. 

In this article, we’ll take a look at exactly how they can do that and outline the best type of insulated garage doors available.     

How insulated garage doors can reduce energy bills 

While it’s often thought of as separate, an attached garage is an extension of the home or commercial property. This means that if a garage is not properly insulated, the rest of the building will also be impacted. During the winter months, this means that the colder air will not only creep into your customers’ garages – but the rest of their property too. This will result in increased use of heating, a less energy efficient property and, therefore, higher energy bills.

However, insulated garage doors are a great way to combat this. 

Typically, insulated garage doors come with seals that help to prevent draughts from entering the property and circulating throughout the rest of the building. These seals will also keep heat inside the property, stopping it from escaping through any gaps in a garage door. 

These features go a long way when it comes to the reduction of energy bills.  

The best garage doors for insulation 

With so many different types of garage doors out there, it can be difficult to know which is best for insulation. At Tradedor, we can supply you with a variety of options that will help your clients tackle increasing energy bills.
