Keeping Your Garage Cool in Summer

Summer heat can turn your garage into an oven, making it uncomfortable to work in and damaging to stored items. But don’t worry, A1 Garage Doors is here to help! In this blog post, we’ll discuss several strategies to keep your garage cooler this summer, and how your garage door plays a crucial role.Beating the Heat:
  1. Insulation is Key: A well-insulated garage door makes a world of difference. Steel garage doors tend to conduct heat more easily, so consider insulated models or adding an insulation kit to your existing door. A1 Garage Doors offers a variety of insulated options to suit your needs.
  2. Seal Out the Heat: Even the smallest gaps around your garage door can let in significant heat. Inspect the weatherstripping around the door frame and replace any worn-out seals. A1 Garage Doors can provide recommendations on the best weatherstripping for your specific door.
  3. Harness the Power of Light: Dark-colored surfaces absorb heat, so consider painting your garage door (if possible) and walls with a light-reflective paint color. This will help deflect sunlight and keep the interior cooler.
  4. Air It Out: Proper ventilation allows hot air to escape and cooler air to circulate. Open your garage door during cooler evening hours to promote airflow. You can also install vents near the top of the garage to help expel hot air.
