Prepare your garage for hot weather
The best way to keep your garage cool is to adequately prepare the space before the hot weather hits. One of the most effective ways to do this is to invest in a garage door that’s built to withstand the heat.

Consider installing an insulated garage door
One of the most effective ways to keep your garage cool is to install an insulated garage door. While this requires installing a new garage door, a fully insulated garage will best protect against heat transfer. Here are your top options:
- The Insulated Garage Door is made using PIR (PolyIsoCyanurate) thermal core technology. This door offers superior protection against temperature transfer and creates a sound-protection barrier between your house and the garage.
- The B&D Enviropanel is an insulated door system with a true thermal break centre. Made from two steel skins, the garage door is insulated by Expanded Polystyrene (EPS) to successfully prevent hot and cold temperature transfer.
Book a bug inspection
During extreme summer weather, bugs often seek shelter in garages. Your garage offers safe storage space for your precious belongings, and pests and bugs can threaten that. That’s why it’s so important to book a bug inspection in preparation for hot weather. By banishing any creepy crawlies, you can rest assured that your garage will be a safe space during the summer.
