Why Insulation Matters in Ottawa

Ottawa winters are brutal (-20 to -30 An insulated garage door makes a huge difference:

• Energy Savings: up to R-18 insulation keeps your garage 10-15 warmer. Save $200-$400/year on heating costs if garage is attached.
• Prevents Condensation: Stops moisture buildup that causes rust on cars, tools, and door components.
• Quieter Operation: Insulated doors absorb sound and vibration. 50% quieter than non-insulated doors.
• More Durable: Two steel layers with foam core = stronger, less prone to dents from hockey pucks, basketballs, etc.
• Year-Round Comfort: Also keeps garage cooler in summer. Better temperature regulation means garage is usable as workspace.

Recommendation: For attached garages, always choose an insulated door up to R-18. The extra $200-$400 pays for itself in 1-2 years through energy savings.

Ottawa homeowners replacing an old garage door often choose insulated steel (up to R-18) for durability and thermal performance. Whether you're in central Ottawa, Kanata, Barrhaven, or Orleans, a properly installed insulated door reduces drafts, protects vehicles and storage from extreme cold, and can improve resale value.
