Should I insulate my garage door?
If your home has an attached garage, you have living space above the garage or the garage door is part of your facade, insulation can make a difference towards the comfort and efficiency of your home’s interior. When purchasing a new garage door, opt for a quality product manufactured by a reputable company with 2-layer or 3-layer construction:
- 1-layer – A single layer of steel with no insulation.
- 2-layer – A layer of insulation is placed in between a sheet of steel and a layer of vinyl.
- 3-layer – Two layers of steel with insulation in between offers the highest R-value (the higher the R-value, the greater the insulating effectiveness) available.
Garage door insulation can help to improve the energy efficiency of your home, reduce noise transfer and ensure quiet operation, and increase resistance to dents and dings.

Your garage door needs to operate at peak performance for safety and security, and you should call Kern Door Company for fast, reliable garage door repair if you notice any of the following:

Can I fix my garage door myself?
No. A garage door is a heavy, movable object with a number of working parts that can cause serious injury. Our garage door repair specialists have the skills, knowledge and tools needed to complete your repairs safely and efficiently to ensure the optimal performance and functionality of your garage door.
Can I replace one panel on my garage door, or do I need to replace the entire unit?
Replacing only one section of your garage door may be possible in some cases, although the exact nature of the repair will depend on the type and amount of damage and the construction of your door. Depending on the age and condition of your door, it may be impossible to color-match a new panel, and garage door replacement may be your only option.
