December’s here, and the cold weather isn’t going anywhere fast. While you’re busy wrapping up warm and cranking up the heating, your garage door might be quietly working against you.
A cold, draughty garage doesn’t just chill your car – it can impact the comfort of your entire home. And if this sounds familiar, it might be time to consider an upgrade. Garolla’s insulated roller doors are designed to help keep the winter chill out, creating a warmer, more comfortable home. Here’s how they do it.
The Problem with Draughty Garages
Gaps in Traditional Garage Doors
Older garage doors, especially traditional up-and-over designs, often have gaps around the edges. While these might seem insignificant, they’re essentially open invitations for cold air to pour in and for heat to escape.
The Impact on Comfort
It’s not just your garage that suffers. Cold air from a draughty garage can creep into adjacent rooms, making your entire home harder to heat. This isn’t ideal when energy bills are at an all-time high and you’re trying to maintain a warm, snug environment.
How Garage Door Insulation Can Help
This is where insulated roller doors shine. By sealing those pesky gaps and reducing the flow of cold air, they help keep the chill out. While they won’t magically turn your garage into a heated room, the difference is noticeable – and appreciated when temperatures plummet in winter.
Garolla Roller Doors – What Makes Them Different?
Polyurethane Foam for Insulation
Inside each slat of a Garolla roller door is polyurethane foam, which adds an insulating layer that older single-skin doors simply don’t have.
This foam helps to reduce heat loss, keeping your garage more comfortable. If you’re after an insulated garage door, the Transform Pro and Titan Shield Pack models include double-density foam for even better performance.
Fixed Guide Rails for a Tight Seal
Unlike traditional designs, Garolla’s roller doors feature fixed guide rails that create a continuous seal around the door’s edges. This design ensures that cold draughts have no chance to sneak in, helping to keep your garage and home warmer during the winter months.
Bristles to Block Draughts
Adding to the seal, Garolla’s guide rails include bristles designed to stop draughts. These bristles might seem like a small feature, but they make a big difference when it comes to keeping the biting cold on the outside.
Heavy-Duty Bottom Seal
At the base of each Garolla roller door is a robust rubber seal. This prevents draughts, water, and even snow from creeping in under the door where it meets a level floor. Our larger doors are fitted with even heavier-duty seals, providing an extra layer of protection against whatever winter throws your way.
