An un-insulated garage can be either uncomfortably cold or uncomfortably hot. The above is especially true is steel or metal garages. Steel garage insulation that provides a high thermal resistance, a vapor barrier and radiant heat barrier is a must on these garages. Click for comparison of insulations in steel garages.

Reflective insulation is the only solution if you're looking for a product to keep your garage cool in summer and warm in winter. Prodex AD5 Reflective insulation will reflect radiant heat (the primary source of heat-flow), provide high thermal (R value) and vapor protection. 

Advantages of using Prodex reflective insulation in your garage

• Reflective insulation is the only type of insulation that reflects radiant heat. Traditional fiberglass insulation has no effect on radiant heat transfer. Estimates are that between 80 and 90 percent of the radiant heat striking fiberglass will pass right through it. Prodex AD 5 reflective insulation, which can reflect up to 97 percent of the radiant energy that strikes it, has proven to be an outstanding radiant heat barrier. Prodex is also a vapor barrier and reflective insulation.
• Other insulations requires the addition of a separate vapor retarder to prevent moisture transfer. Moisture in the walls and ceilings that can cause rot, mold, fungus, and dripping.
• Prodex  will not compress or absorb moisture - conditions that seriously degrade the performance of both fiberglass batt and loose-fill insulation.
• Prodex AD5 provides R-15.67 thermal protection.
• Prodex  provides a clean and washable finish - no drywall is needed to provide either a finished look or fire protection.
• Prodex AD5 provides Class A/Class 1 fire rated protection - meets fire and smoke safety requirements of most federal, state, and local building codes.
• Prodex does not provide nesting for birds, rodents or insects.
• Prodex is very light - no need to adjust the garage door lifting system.

Other Kinds of Garage Insulation

Fiberglass batt insulation: Can be installed in between the studs with reflective insulation installed on top to provide extra R-value protection in colder climates. The reflective insulation provides the vapor barrier necessary to keep fiberglass dry. Since fiberglass insulation provides no resistance to radiant heat transfer or moisture, it should not be used alone. Unfortunately, fiberglass insulation batts has many downsides..MORE.

ADDED VALUES to Garage and Door

• Can reduce inside temperature by 8 degrees, making it a comfortable working area.
• Saves heating costs in winter, reducing heat loss through door.
• Save air-conditioning costs in summer, reducing cold loss through door.
• Do-it-yourself (1 hour with two people).
• Clean finished look.
