Re: insulating a garage

yeah no cars are touching my "man cave" I work on my cars in my driveway or pay someone else to do it. We have a 2011 equinox and a 2002 accord so little to no work is ever required to do inside the garage.

Re: insulating a garage

puma guy wrote:I was thinking of insulation my garage once and was advised against it. It has to do with moisture in the garage and no air conditioning to remove it. The insulation actually traps moisture. I no longer have that home, but the home I now have had a room installed above the garage and has insulation installed in the floor (ceiling of the garage). The paint is bubbled and some is peeling off the ceiling of the garage. Also some of the joint tape has let loose. I assume the cause is what was described to me when I asked about insulating a garage. I'm no expert, so you might want to check with a reputable insulation contractor.
HMM some of the homes I go into now have insulated doors and are insulated in the attics but nothing aside from that looks different from my garage? so I wonder if I have over looked something minor.

insulating a garage

I was needing some help insulating my garage from both hot and cooler weather. Two reasons. I would like to spend more time out there and it backs up to my daughters room. The garage door itself faces North and has two walls (obviously) on each side. One wall faces internally into the house. The other are on the East and West sides. So the sun is constantly on the garage. There is no insulation above the garage at all or on the door itself.

I have looked at " onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; for the door.

Anyone have an idea how much this would cost to see really effective results?

I don't intend on putting an air duct in the garage. The laundry room connects the garage and house. If insulating it happens I will buy a fan to move air from the house to the garage.

Any help is appreciated thanks.
