Q: What is an R-value, when it comes to garage doors?
A: An R-value is used as a rating for a garage door’s level of insulation and its effectiveness at stopping heat loss transfer.
Essentially, the R-value lets you know how good of a job your garage door will do of keeping in cooled or heated air.
Our garage tends to be used for more than just parking a car - whether it be a workshop, for storage, or even a hang out space, you want your garage temperature to stay efficient.
Plus, since garages are typically attached to your home, it influences the temperature INSIDE your home as well.
Ideally, you want to choose a garage door with the highest R-value possible for the best protection against heat loss transfer.
