Q. What does R-Value mean with respect to insulated garage doors?
A. Non-insulated (R-Value = 0 - 1): Think of this garage door like a basic door without any insulation—it's just a thin layer of metal or wood.
Non-insulated with insulation kits (R-Value = 4 - 6): This is like adding a thick blanket to your existing garage door.
Vinyl backed insulation (R-Value = 6.64 - 7.05): Imagine putting on a jacket with a fleece lining—it's comfortable, but not a heavy winter coat.
Steelback insulation (R-Value = 9.05 - 18): This is like wearing a heavy-duty winter coat. It's designed to provide serious insulation, energy efficient, and reduces noise.
