Looking for year-round performance? See the best garage door insulation options here.
In summer, an uninsulated metal garage door can rapidly absorb solar heat and transfer it directly into the garage space and adjoining rooms. Without insulation, there is nothing to slow down or resist this heat flow, resulting in significantly elevated internal temperatures.
Common reasons garages get so hot in summer:
🔥 Dark and west-facing doors absorb peak afternoon sun
⚡ Metal door skins conduct heat rapidly into the garage
🚫 Without insulation, heat transfers straight through the door
🏠 Hot garages push heat into adjoining rooms and living spaces

❓ Will insulating my garage door make the garage cold in summer?
ThermaDoor won’t turn the garage into a refrigerated space, but it significantly slows heat transfer through the door surface. Most homeowners notice the garage is noticeably cooler and more comfortable on hot days.
❓ How much cooler will my garage be after installing insulation?
Every garage is different — door colour, direction, climate and ventilation all affect temperature. That’s why we use tested dual-season R-values instead of gimmicky temperature-gun readings.
❓ Will the insulation affect the garage door motor or springs?
Any added weight must be allowed for by correct spring adjustment. Our professional installations include spring balancing so the door operates smoothly and safely.
❓ Do you supply insulation across Australia?
Yes. We ship DIY kits nationally and offer professional installation in many metro and regional areas across Australia.
❓ Can I install it myself?
Yes. DIY kits are available for most sectional and tilt doors and include simple instructions. Or choose professional installation if you prefer us to handle everything.
