Tips for winter proofing your garage.


Winterproof Your Garage Door

Winter proofing your garage door is a great way to cut down on heating costs. Here are some ways you can save money this winter.

Weatherstripping

First check your weatherstripping. Properly applied weather stripping can cut down on your heating costs, but it needs to be replaced regularly. Old weather stripping could just be letting air into the garage. 

Garage Door Insulation

Second make sure that your garage doors are insulated. Fiberglass doors are great for this. The pink stuff in your attic? Thats fiberglass insulation. It’s essentially spun glass with air pockets trapped in it which makes it a great insulator. Its light weight too because so much of it is just air. Garage doors made with fiberglass can also be painted to look really nice.  Ours (http://www.overheaddoornorthland.com/residential-garage-doors/fiberglass-garage-doors.html) replicate the look and feel of wood without the hassle.
