Very appropriate for today! As the infographic below states, 71% of the interior remodeling done for greening purposes is insulation. Remember that a very important part of upgrading the insulation in your home is replacing your garage door with an insulated one, or adding insulation to your current door. This is a project that pays for itself in the long run with the energy savings and of course, the added comfort in our garages, especially in the summer. -RGDS
