The other rooms in the house not above this garage are fine.
Room above garage cold.
Here s what causes the problem.
I ve been away from home so apologies for the late reply.
It s really hot in the room all summer and it feels that way eight months out of the year.
Would it help keep it cooler if i put a white reflective foam core insulation on the ceiling.
If the room has wood laminate or another hard surface floor a thick area.
The higher the r value the better the insulation.
Hi thank you so much for the replies.
The main bedroom in my house is above the garage.
Having a well insulating garage door is helpful in this regard.
And that bedroom above your garage the same one that was scorching hot all summer.
I was thinking of gluing and screwing in styrofoam insulation 1 inch thick on the ceiling of the garage.
Use a styrofoam plug and plug each hole after you fill it.
How to finish the job.
The house in question is this one.
Insulation levels for garage doors are measured by an r value or less commonly a u value.
Does your home have a bonus room above the garage.
If your home has a built in garage chances are there s a room above it to give your home the most space possible.
Another approach you can you take is to make your garage warmer and thereby eliminate the problem of cold air passing through the ceiling.
Why the room above your garage is always cold or hot it s november in atlanta and temperatures are dropping.
Wall to wall carpeting is installed with a thick pad underneath which is another layer between feet and the cold garage.
All you have to worry about is that it s the right.
I have this product on my garage door already and it helped the temperature in the garage.
You might use this room for anything from a bedroom to an office bathroom or storage space.
