Cold (or warm) air infiltrates the garage ceiling assembly and makes its way to the living space above. Insulating the garage ceiling. It's essential to insulate the garage ceiling if there is living space above the garage.

Many people like to use the garage for carpentry, woodworking or automotive projects. If you have a garage workshop, it pays to insulate the garage so that you can work comfortably regardless of weather conditions outside. When it comes to the larger garage doors used for cars, many homeowners choose insulated versions as well, either when a house is built or when replacing old garage doors. Insulated garage doors have cores that are filled with foam insulation, and metal "skins" that are often textured and detailed to look like old-fashioned frame-and-panel doors made from a solid wood design. Although insulated garage doors are more expensive than uninsulated "economy" versions, they're often well worth the extra investment. In addition to improving energy efficiency, the door's insulated core helps to prevent the metal surface from being dented and bent out of shape. Home insulation is very important to a home's overall comfort and efficiency. Did the builder do it right?
