Hi,
Why do builder's not put insulation in the ceiling of the garage?
Does anyone know how much it would cost to do?
I plan on turning the garage into a kids playroom.
Cheers,
Michelle

If you have a roller door that faces west or east it will get very hot. Insulation will just keep the heat in longer. put rubber doors seals around the garage to house door, keeps out heat, cold and car fumes . Johnnojack Great tip about weathersealing the internal access! Insulation can mean two things here. Bulk insulation such as batts are more useful in keeping in winter warmth then keep out summer heat . They block convective transfer of heat. However, most of the energy during summer is in the form of radiation. This can be largely blocked by a radiant barrier such as Sisalation under the roof and/or the walls (rejects >99% of heat radiation). It can even have a few gaps (unlike batts) because heat rays can't bend around corners (unlike hot air). Usually you will need to combine both products for an optimum year round effect. I agree that whirlys aren't that useful (especially not if you are just ventilating the roof space by itself). See: http://forums.envirotalk.com.au/Whirlyb ... t8445.html Found the answer.
