As the official start of winter, *Lidong* (the Beginning of Winter) marks the point after which daylight hours continue to shorten and the sun's midday altitude continues to drop.
Are you ready to welcome the winter season?
With the arrival of winter, in addition to adjusting one's diet for the season, ensuring proper thermal insulation within our home environment is of paramount importance.
If you are currently renovating your home or building a new one, beyond selecting doors and windows with excellent insulation and sealing properties to boost energy efficiency, the thermal insulation performance of your garage door is also a critical factor to consider.
This is particularly true if your garage is attached to your main residence, or if you utilize the garage space as a workshop or recreation room; in such cases, selecting a garage door with superior thermal insulation becomes even more essential.
To assist you in purchasing an energy-efficient, thermally insulated garage door, our garage door manufacturer has compiled the following key points for your reference:
1. Opt for a garage door featuring double-layer insulated panels, which can effectively minimize heat loss.
2. Enhance airtightness through the use of dual weatherstripping; this measure can further boost the garage door's thermal insulation capabilities.
3. Install an insulating frame between the garage door jambs and the adjacent walls to eliminate "thermal bridges" (cold spots), thereby improving thermal insulation efficiency by up to 15%.
4. Consider adding a side door adjacent to the main garage door-or installing a "door-within-a-door" feature directly into the garage door itself-to facilitate pedestrian access. This significantly reduces the frequency with which the large garage door needs to be opened, thereby helping to conserve energy and lower household heating costs.
