Room Above Garage Cold

I ve been away from home so apologies for the late reply.

Room above garage cold.

Having a well insulating garage door is helpful in this regard. Use a styrofoam plug and plug each hole after you fill it. Does your home have a bonus room above the garage. If the room has wood laminate or another hard surface floor a thick area.

Why the room above your garage is always cold or hot it s november in atlanta and temperatures are dropping. The house in question is this one. It s really hot in the room all summer and it feels that way eight months out of the year. And that bedroom above your garage the same one that was scorching hot all summer.

The other rooms in the house not above this garage are fine. Wall to wall carpeting is installed with a thick pad underneath which is another layer between feet and the cold garage. The main bedroom in my house is above the garage. A detached garage eliminates the risk of dangerous fumes coming into the house so you don t have to worry about making it super sealed.

I was thinking of gluing and screwing in styrofoam insulation 1 inch thick on the ceiling of the garage. To allow for access partially close the garage door as you get to those holes above the garage door tracks. I have this product on my garage door already and it helped the temperature in the garage. Wait is there even a solution to this.

Another approach you can you take is to make your garage warmer and thereby eliminate the problem of cold air passing through the ceiling. Hi thank you so much for the replies. The higher the r value the better the insulation. Would it help keep it cooler if i put a white reflective foam core insulation on the ceiling.

Insulation levels for garage doors are measured by an r value or less commonly a u value. All you have to worry about is that it s the right. Here s what causes the problem.
