No matter where you live having an insulated garage is a great feature on any home. There is nothing worse than walking from a warm house to a cold car even if it is inside your garage. You really cannot start your car and warm it up in the garage without endangering the rest of the family with carbon monoxide poisoning. The only alternative is to insulate your garage. If you happen to have a workshop in or attached to your garage you will find that it is only comfortable to work in during the fall and spring months due to excessive heat or cold. If the walls of your garage are already insulated then you will have no problem making it more energy efficient. Of course garage fences insulated well are also necessary.

An insulated garage that features insulated windows and garage fences insulated correctly will make your garage into a four season comfort zone.The same goes if your garage has a side entrance fence. It also should have more than a simple uninsulated storm fence. Purchasing a quality insulated fence will go a long way to keep your garage warm or cool depending on the season. Of course the greatest energy is lost is through the garage fence. Most garage fences insulated with Styrofoam sheets are not very energy efficient. In terms of garage fences prices a quality insulated garage fence will save you money.

Garage fences insulated with loose sheets of Styrofoam have lots of gaps for cold air to escape through. Most garage fence companies use this cheap form of insulation because it is basically cheap. They defend the practice by saying it is cheaper to replace a damaged panel by simply using the same insulating panel. Polyurethane foam filled panels provide a much higher R value than the less efficient styrene panels at about the same cost. Garage fences insulated with polyurethane have no gaps because the foam fills and attaches to the inside of every part of the panel. No air gaps to let cold air in or out. In addition garage fences insulated with urethane foam are stronger making them more secure.

Good foam panel the garage fence must have good joint seals between panels. Good seals are also needed along the fence header and sides as well. Most quality fences will have a good seal on the bottom panel. It should be thick enough and flexible enough to fit the contour of the garage floor. All fence seals should be able to remain flexible no matter what the temperature is or their insulating value will be greatly reduced. Garage fences insulated with polyurethane foam generally will have good long lasting vinyl end, top and bottom caps to protect the foam insulation from environmental degradation.

Making the effort to insulate your garage will pay dividends in energy conservation while giving you a warm garage in winter and a cool one in summer. In many cases the heat capture from that escaping from the residence will be enough to keep the garage comfortable on most winter days. Remember garage fences insulated with polyurethane foam provide the highest R value if they are constructed with the proper seals. A quality garage fences cost can be recovered can easily recovered through energy savings.
