Garage Insulation Saves You Money
Garage insulation is probably not something you think about very often. Most homeowners keep their attics and walls well insulated because they know it saves on energy costs. But, since garages are unconditioned spaces, not heated or cooled, it does not makes sense to insulate them.
Or does it? An uninsulated garage can become as hot or cold as it is outside. This may not be a problem in the garage, but, with uninsulated walls and a ceiling shared between the garage and your home, it can become a costly source of energy loss. In addition, harmful fumes in your garage, from car exhaust, fertilizers, paints, etc., can easily enter your home.
The best way to keep the harmful elements in your garage from entering your home is to insulate the walls and ceiling that is shared between the garage and home. However, you have a number of options for insulating your garage walls and choosing the right one can make a big difference.
Batt insulation, long a popular choice for insulating attics and walls, is often the first type of insulation homeowners think of when insulating. While the R-values (the rating of insulation performance) for batt insulation may be similar to other insulating materials, it is not the best choice for garages.
Batt insulation is installed in rolls, or batts. The batts do not seal spaces between the wall and ceiling and gaps can form between insulation rolls. The gaps allow energy to escape from your home and fumes to enter. Batt insulation is also susceptible to damage from moisture, further reducing its insulating ability.
Foam-board insulation, solid sheets of molded polystyrene, offers similar R-values as batt insulation, but is less bulky. However, foam-board insulation also does not fill all the gaps in your wall and spaces can occur between the sheets of insulation.
To reduce energy loss and fume seepage from your garage as much as possible, you need insulation that fills every gap and covers your garage walls and ceiling with a tight seal. Spray foam garage insulation spreads on application and fills all the gaps. R-values are the same as similar thicknesses of foam-board insulation and spray foam insulation is resistant to moisture damage.

I was initially pleased with my purchase which was attractive and sturdy. However, as soon as it rained the item became rusty around the back and seats, this within a week of purcase. So disappointed, completely unable to use the seats now as this would stain clothing.

Added this to new planting bed with hydrangeas and butterfly bushes. With pillows it became my quiet place away from the rest of the yard space. Comfortable for what I wanted.

This set is good value for money and looks just as it did in the images from www.boisecloggers.com. It took approx. 4hrs to build, however for the comparative savings to others we looked at, it was worth it. Would definitely recommend to others and can’t wait to enjoy it.

I bought this as a place to store gardening tools and potting soil on my condo patio. It seems reasonably sturdy to sit on as well. It is clean and unobtrusive looking, and also could be a place to hold a cocktail. Great piece!

I was quite surprised how heavy the box was when it arrived. Really easy to assembled as all the pieces are marked alphabetically. Once assembled it’s really sturdy, the top cushion is really comfy and it’s a nice size. Fits under our window nicely.

I love my new furniture, looks lovely on my patio and quite comfy. Like the way you can change it around. Only thing to note is it’s quite complex to build, took my hubby 3 to 4 hours and the Ottoman is not a storage box in the way I expected but can still store things underneath it.

This was so easy to put together! The plastic cover ties onto the frame and is able to fold under the base so it shouldn't disappear in a storm. I have weighed it down on the bottom with compost bags to prevent it being too wobbly in the wind but I would suggest putting it in a sheltered spot!

So adorable!! Comfy and sturdy too! I purchased the navy color and I was pleased they look navy in person, because the pictures online depict it bright blue. In love!

Looks fab on my patio! I was very dubious about the measurements of the furniture before delivery and expected something a lot smaller however I wasn't disappointed. For the price, I do also feel the quality is really good and the rattan effect is good quality. I had been looking at similar items in garden centres that were much more expensive but poorer quality. I would definitely recommend

I absolutely love this! Perfect for my busy family with 4 children. Its very well made and was stress free putting it together. The shelfs are deep so my partners size 12 trainers fit without hanging over the edge. Very happy x

I think the description should make it clear of the stone content. It looks like a stone pot from the outside,but definitely not on the inside. It seems like the small amount of stone is in the paint on the outside only. So doesn't feel vakue for money when you handle them. Also it says can be usef inside or outside, but is imprinted on the Base as part of the mould that you have to drill through the Base if using outside. I have since been told this revokes the warranty. Can this be right?????
