  • Rigid Foam Insulation – Rigid foam insulation is made up of polystyrene and polyisocyanurate, typically sold in sheets of 4 x 8. Rigid foam has a high R-value per inch than most other insulation options, meaning that you can get away with using less product and still have proper insulation. This is a great option for thinner walls, as well as insulating garage doors.
  • Cellulose Insulation – Cellulose insulation is classified as a loose-fill insulation that is made up of shredded newspaper and fire retardant. As for garage use, cellulose insulation is recommended for garage walls and ceilings only (not garage doors).
  • Spray Foam Insulation – Spray foam insulation is a cellular polyurethane foam that is spray applied. Spray foam has a high R-value and is great for weatherizing. However, for a garage, spray foam might be an excess.
  • Garage Door Insulation – Insulating your garage doesn’t mean much unless you also insulate your garage door. You can purchase garage door insulation kits or use pieces of rigid foam insulation (cut to size of each panel). You can also consult a professional on garage door insulation services.
