In most cases, it is not. The r-value of a single pane windows is about 1. The r-value of 2-pane garage door windows is about 3.

This is not going to make a big difference in the garage temperature at your home in Greater Cincinnati or Northern Kentucky.

And the cost of 2-pane glass in a garage door is almost double that of single pane glass.

So for most homeowners, a single pane of glass for the windows in your garage door is the better choice.

Not completely. New Garage doors and seals can reduce almost all of the air exchange, and they are much better than older styles.

No, it is not. When comparing the gauge of metals, lower numbers are thicker.

Of course the thicker the metal, the more durable and dent resistant the door will be. Insulated garage doors can use higher gauge steel (thinner) and achieve more dent resistance than non-insulated garage doors because the insulated core adds rigidity.

Yes, you typically can. The garage doors we sell, Amarr steel garage doors, are pre-painted with a baked-on coating that is suitable to be repainted.

Amarr garage doors will accept a wide variety of latex exterior paints.

If are going to paint a garage door, do not use oil-based paints. It voids many manufactures paint-finish warranties, including Amarr.

The bottom line is this – steel doors typically require less maintenance than a wood door. The brand that we sell, Amarr steel garage doors, are pre-painted with a factory-applied, baked-on coating and the paint will last for many years.

The only thing we recommend is cleaning the garage door with a common household detergent and warm water at least one time per year.

Wood doors are unfinished and need to be primed and painted, or stained, on all six sides of the door before installation. We recommend a visual inspection of the paint or stain finish on wood doors one time per year to confirm if another finish application is necessary.

Wood doors are also susceptible to warping, cracking and rotting over time.

Just based on those facts, if it was my home, I would not even consider wood garage doors.

R-Value is a measure of thermal efficiency. The higher the R-value the greater the insulating properties of the door. We offer several door styles to meet your insulated garage door needs for both residential and commercial applications.

The higher the R-value number, the better the insulating properties of the material. However, an R-16 value is not twice as good as an R-8 Value.

A value of R-16 offers a 5% reduction in heat flow and a 5% improvement in energy efficiency than a value of R-8, not 50%.

No matter the R-Value, an insulated garage door will reduce the amount of heat flow and improve energy efficiency of a home.

There are a number of good reason why you would want an insulated garage door instead of a non-insulated one. They help reduce the transfer of heat or cold air into your garage. If your garage is attached to your home, air in the garage can travel through the doorway to your living area.

An insulated garage door will reduce the transfer of air from the outside to the inside. If you use your garage as a workshop, an insulated garage door will help regulate the temperature in the garage.

If your garage is below another room in your home, air can travel through the ceiling of the garage into the floor of the room above. An insulated garage door will help maintain temperatures in the garage to reduce the temperature fluctuation in the room above.

Additionally, an insulated garage door is generally quieter, sturdier and has a more attractive interior than a non-insulated door.
