The Room Over The Garage Is Often The Coldest
Sealing the garage ceiling is how a frosty bedroom upstairs gets comfortable. An unheated garage can stay below freezing for weeks, and that bedroom floor sits right on top of it.
Batts in a garage ceiling often leave gaps around joists and pipes. Garage spray foam fills every gap, so the floor upstairs stays warm.
The Shared Wall With The House
Garage spray foam also seals the wall that the garage shares with your living space. That wall is often thin and leaky. Exhaust fumes and cold air can work through it. Sealing it keeps both out of the house.
Heated Garages And Home Shops
Garage spray foam lets you heat a garage without wasting fuel. Many people around Elmira and Breslau use their garage as a shop, a gym or a place to fix equipment. Foam on the walls and ceiling lets a small heater keep up.
Foam in a heated garage usually needs drywall over it, and we include that in the plan. For bigger farm shops, see our workshop foam page.
Detached Garages
Garage spray foam in a detached garage seals the walls, roof and door frame. A detached garage loses heat on every side, so a full seal makes the biggest difference.
Foam At The Door And Wall Top
Garage spray foam has to stop short of the overhead door tracks and opener. We spray up to the door frame and keep the tracks, springs and opener rail clear so everything runs as before. The top of the wall, where the ceiling meets the plate, leaks badly in most garages, and foam closes it in one pass.
An insulated door finishes the job. If yours is an old uninsulated panel, garage spray foam on the walls and ceiling still makes a big change, and a new door later adds to it. You will hear what to expect when we come out.
