The National Construction Code (NCC) 2025 preview was released on February 1, 2026, with formal adoption beginning May 1, 2026. For homeowners, builders, and energy assessors working towards 7-star NatHERS compliance, understanding how NCC 2025 affects garage door insulation is critical. The key change? A stronger emphasis on system R-values rather than material R-values alone. This […]
Is your garage extremely hot in the summer and a freezing cold in the winter? For many Australian homeowners, the garage is a source of frustration – a space that’s too uncomfortable to use for anything other than parking the car. But what if you could transform this neglected area into a comfortable, year-round living […]
Insulation is often treated as interchangeable.If a product works in a wall, floor or ceiling, it’s often assumed it will work just as well on a garage door. That assumption is where most garage door insulation problems begin. In reality, wall insulation is not garage door insulation.Garage doors are moving, weight-sensitive mechanical systems, and insulation […]
If you’re trying to improve comfort, reduce heat, and keep your garage cool in summer in Australia, the right garage door insulation can make a dramatic difference.

If you’re trying to keep your garage cool in summer in Australia, you’re not alone. Every year, thousands of homeowner’s battle garages that turn into ovens, making the rooms above or beside them unbearably hot and forcing air-conditioning to run nonstop just to cope. A standard uninsulated metal garage door has an R-value of R0.0, […]
Most Australian homes with a tilt garage door lose a surprising amount of heat through that single, uninsulated surface. A typical metal tilt door has an R-value of R0.0, offering no resistance to heat or cold – like leaving a giant hole in your home’s thermal envelope. Adding purpose-built tilt door insulation transforms a bare […]
We’ve all seen the social posts – someone grabs a cheap thermal gun, zaps the front of a garage door, and proudly announces: “Our insulation dropped the temperature by 30 degrees!” It sounds impressive, but that so-called garage door insulation temperature difference doesn’t actually show how well the insulation performs. It only reveals how hot […]
Most Australian homeowners think about insulating their walls, ceilings, and windows. But few realise that their garage door has an R-value of zero (R0.0) – meaning it provides no resistance to heat or cold transfer. With garage doors often making up to a third of a home’s façade, leaving this gap uninsulated is like leaving […]
For many families, the garage is one of the most underused spaces in the home. With a little thought, it can become far more than just storage – it can be a warm, inviting media room for movies, sports, or gaming. After more than 45 years in the building industry, I’ve seen a lot of […]
