Why Your Commercial Garage Door Needs to be Insulated Commercial garage doors aren’t designed to remain closed, no matter what the temperate is outside. When the weather gets frigid, as it does in the Midwest in January, opening and closing your commercial garage doors can quickly affect how it feels inside your workplace. It also affects your energy bill. Installing an insulated commercial garage door, like Overhead Door’s Thermacore® Series, offers the highest levels of thermal efficiency, air infiltration and wind load resistance. This means a commercial garage door that’s insulated can help regulate the temperature inside your building, even when you have to open and close your door.

The first of many cold days are already upon Siouxlanders and it only goes downhill from here. In November, the average high temperature in Sioux City is 46 degrees, in December it is 32 degrees and last January the temperature dropped to as low as 4 degrees. When it gets that cold, anywhere you can insulate your home, i.e., windows and doors, helps. An insulated garage door can also help keep your home cozy, especially if your garage is attached to your home. But, it has other benefits as well.

Now that the outdoor temperatures aren’t soaring into the 80s and 90s on a daily basis, it’s a great time to show your garage a little love before fall arrives. Your garage has likely been a dumping ground this summer for all your warm-weather projects. Spend a Saturday afternoon - while the temperature is still nice - to check these items off your fall to-do list.

As the temperature steadily drops outside, we fight the creeping cold by keeping our homes as warm as possible. We fill every crack around doors and windows and crank the heat up as high as our wallets dare. But there’s one giant door that may get overlooked, your garage door. An insulated garage door, like our Thermacore insulated steel doors, can not only enhance the overall look of your home but the comfort as well.

The Midwest can be mercilessly cold in the winter and unbearably hot in the summer. Thanks to heating and cooling, it is easy to maintain a comfortable temperature in your house, but unfortunately, it can be expensive to extend climate control to the garage.
