Why Insulation Isn’t Just for Your Home
When most homeowners think about insulation, they focus on attics, walls, and crawlspaces. But insulating a detached garage can provide surprising benefits—especially in Utah’s fluctuating climate. Whether you’re using the space for storage, a workshop, or a home gym, proper insulation helps keep it functional, efficient, and protected year-round.
Detached garages are often overlooked because they’re not connected to the main house. But that doesn’t mean they should be left to freeze in winter or bake in summer. Adding insulation can turn that space into something truly usable.
Benefits of Insulating a Detached Garage
Wondering if insulating a detached garage is worth the investment? Here’s what you gain:
- Temperature Control: Insulation helps regulate the interior temperature, keeping the space cooler in summer and warmer in winter.
- Energy Efficiency: If your garage has power, insulation reduces the energy needed for heating or cooling.
- Protection for Stored Items: Extreme temperatures and moisture can damage tools, equipment, and keepsakes.
- Sound Reduction: Insulation can help reduce noise from power tools or music, making it more neighborhood-friendly.
- Increased Home Value: Insulated garages are appealing to future buyers looking for usable extra space.
Whether you’re using a space heater, fan, or full HVAC system, insulating a detached garage improves energy retention and makes any investment in climate control more effective.
