Garage Door Insulation – Improving Energy Efficiency

As 2021 ends with reports of rising home heating costs, anything that will boost energy efficiency is a solid investment, including garage door insulation. Adding insulation to existing doors or installing a new insulated garage door to Madison WI area homes makes a dent in heating and cooling costs. The extremes in southern Wisconsin weather are challenges all year around. As garage doors took over as the No. 1 entry point to modern houses it also opened up homes to blasts of outside air – hot and humid or chilled and dry. New construction often includes insulating outside walls of attached garages but one of the largest surfaces – the door – is often overlooked. Walls between the garage and inside rooms are often left poorly insulated, too.

You’ll hear the term “R Value.” It’s the measurement of any insulating material’s ability to keep heat/cold in/out. The higher the R Value, the better the insulation. An insulated garage door’s R Value is measured by the insulating properties of the door itself plus the insulation material added to it. Every garage door design has some insulating ability. And every style benefits from additional protective material added to the inside.

Steel, aluminum, wood and composites are the top choices for garage doors. Each has its own insulating properties. Evaluate the door you have and consider the energy efficiency of any you’re looking at in the future. Saving money on monthly heating/cooling bills make sense, right?

Garage Door Insulation Applied To Material Options

An uninsulated garage beneath living spaces means cold floor in winter – don’t neglect the largest opening when adding insulation.

What’s your best choice?

Steel garage doors are the most popular in both single- and double-car sizes. It’s durable and lightweight. Steel on its own provides little insulating value. Thicker panels have more than thinner ones, but neither has much to offer.

High-quality steel garage doors built in multiple layers with foam insulation between the layers is the best choice. Doors like this not only provide excellent insulating properties they also resist dents.

Aluminum garage doors are the second-most popular residential garage doors. They’re lightweight and offer contemporary looks. Unfortunately they are very poor insulators. Even with additional layers of foam applied they cannot match the R Values of steel doors. However, if you have an aluminum door, don’t hesitate to consider adding insulation to your garage door. A little is better than no help at all.

Wooden garage doors are in demand but because of cost they represent limited installations. They’re mostly chosen for style and good looks rather than performance. Buyers overlook that fact that wood is an excellent insulator so wooden garage doors are an excellent choice if you’re looking to boost energy efficiency plus style.

Composite wood-look garage doors are an excellent and popular alternative to real wood. They’re rugged and relatively maintenance-free. The composite overlays are often attached to steel doors so you get the benefit of steel performance with the look of wood. R Values are less than real wood but far better than steel alone.

None of the traditional materials for garage doors provides much insulation on their own. Providing an additional layer of protection is the key.

Insulated Garage Door Options

An uninsulated garage beneath living spaces means cold floor in winter – don’t neglect the largest opening when adding insulation.

When it comes to insulating a garage door there are three common methods based on where a door is located and how it is used. They vary from no insulation at all because it isn’t necessary to heavy layers for optimum protection. Consider:

• Single-layer doors – where no insulation is need at all. Use on garages that are not attached to a home and not heated to cooled in any way. • Double-layer doors – a basic garage door that with a single polystyrene layer applied on the inside of the door. • Triple-layer doors – multiple, thicker layers of either foam or another insulating material or combination of more than one insulation type.

Polyurethane is considered the best insulator because it adds higher R Value without increasing the thickness of the layer on the inside of the door. Polyurethane is usually applied as a spray-on foam. The technique allows it to fill cracks and crevasses to provide protection adding sheets of foam can’t match. Polypropylene is another option but it isn’t as good. A 1 3/8-inch layer of has an R Value of 6.5. The same thickness in polyurethane has an R Value of 12.9. The bigger the number the better, right?

Does your garage door have windows? Glass isn’t a great insulator but modern door insulation can accommodate windows. Contemporary and carriage house style doors feature windows. To go along with your plan to boost energy efficiency by insulating the door make sure the windows are low-E, double- or triple-glazed glass. That reduces the heat transfer from the windows.

Learn From The Garage Door Insulation Pros

A well-insulated garage provides a comfortable workshop or recreational space, not just vehicle storage. The best insulation in walls and ceilings won’t do its job effectively if the largest side of the room is neglected. To keep the inside comfortable the garage door has to play its part. There’s a bonus to an energy-efficient, insulated garage door – it provides extra soundproofing, too.

Farther, Faster and No Sweat: Bike-Sharing and the E-Bike Boom As with all bicycles during the pandemic, electric bikes, or those with battery-powered motors to handle propulsion, boomed. The market research firm NPD Group said sales of e-bikes grew 145 percent in 2020 compared to 2019, outpacing sales of all bikes, which were up 65 percent. “Bike categories that catered to families and recreational and newer riders grew better than more performance-oriented bikes,” said Dirk Sorenson, a sports industry analyst at NPD, adding that e-bikes “overcome challenges like big hills or going on a longer ride than a typical bike.” But it’s not just consumer sales that have mainstreamed e-bikes. Municipal bike-sharing systems have increasingly adopted the technology, with some cities, including Charlotte, N.C., going with an all-electric fleet during the pandemic. Social distancing demands, the quest for safe and more accessible public transportation and sustainable travel measures have forged a growing adoption of e-bikes among travelers as well as local residents. “Covid sort of propelled electric bikes forward by years,” said Josh Squire, the founder and chief executive of Hopr, a bike-share service. Cities, bike-sharing companies and even a peer-to-peer bike-sharing platform (in which bike owners rent their bikes directly to users) are jumping into the e-bike ecosystem. Here’s how bike-sharing — sometimes called “micromobility” to include other small vehicles, such as scooters — has shifted in the tourism lull. Covid did not kill bike-sharing In the early days of the pandemic, bike-share usage stalled as those working from home stopped commuting. For essential workers who needed to travel, bike-sharing became an alternative to buses or trains, where they might be exposed to the virus by other passengers. Lyft, which manages bike-share fleets in nine cities — including the largest systems in New York City and Chicago — gave about 30,000 essential workers free yearly passes. “Covid was able to highlight micromobility as an essential transportation service, filling in where transit service stopped or where gaps existed and helping essential workers get to work,” said Samantha Herr, the executive director of the North American Bikeshare Association. As people began to leave their houses in summer, biking rebounded. In Honolulu, nearly 80 percent of members of the bike-sharing system Biki said riding was the safest form of public transportation during the pandemic. In Chicago, the Divvy bike-share system recorded its busiest month on record in August. In New York City, where Citi Bike added 3,700 new bikes in 2020, ridership exceeded 2019 levels in the last four months of 2020, according to a monthly report filed with the New York City Department of Transportation. The company said 27 percent of rides were deemed “casual,” or recreational, in 2020, versus 17 percent in 2019, with the most popular stations around hospitals and parks, reflecting the mix of essential and casual uses. Biking was clearly a remedy for cabin fever, and bike sharing is an affordable cure. In Miami, where hand sanitizer dispensers were installed at Citi Bike Miami stations, casual users have taken about 40 percent of rides in 2021 as tourism has ticked up. Colby Reese, the co-founder of DecoBike, which runs Citi Bike Miami, estimates about half a million visitors annually used the bike-share system before the pandemic. Plans are in place to add about 200 e-bikes this summer to the existing 2,000-bike fleet. “Because of Covid, outdoor things are more popular than they were before,” he said. E-bikes for the people The electrification of bike-share systems, accelerating now, has been underway for several years. In 2018, the Bikeshare Planning Guide from the Transformative Urban Mobility Initiative, a global initiative on sustainable transportation, called them “ideal for bikeshare because of their otherwise high upfront cost to users, and they can improve user comfort by reducing often-cited barriers to cycling such as fatigue, sweating, and longer-distance or hilly trips.” According to the North American Bikeshare Association, in 2019, the last year for which statistics are available, 28 percent of bike-sharing systems had e-bikes. It found e-bikes were used more intensively than traditional bikes, at a rate 1.7 times higher. In 2019, when the Madison BCycle fleet in Madison, Wis., went electric, usage more than doubled. Novelty was a driver, along with affordability. “To be able to try an e-bike for a very low rate for a day pass is what draws people initially to try it out,” said Helen Bradley, the general manager of Madison BCycle, where a day pass costs $15. “Then they get hooked,” she added, on the range of the bikes, which can go 30 to 35 miles on a full charge with top speed of about 17 miles per hour. Chicago plans to have 10,000 e-bikes in its Divvy system by 2022 — it added 3,500 e-bikes in 2020 — in a plan to provide accessibility to 100 percent of the city. Updated  March 2, 2021, 5:39 a.m. ET Adopting e-bikes hasn’t come without growing pains. In New York City, Citi Bike introduced e-bikes in 2018, but removed them in 2019 after reports of brakes malfunctioning, causing rider injuries (similar problems forced Lyft, which manages Citi Bike, to temporarily withdraw e-bikes from its systems in Washington, D.C. and San Francisco). Last winter, New York re-introduced Citi Bike e-bikes, which reach maximum speeds of 18 m.p.h., below the limit of 20 m.p.h. later set by the city for the pedal-assisted e-bikes. There are now about 3,700 e-bikes in the 19,000-bike system; the average e-bike gets over nine rides a day, while the average for pedal bikes is 3.5. “Putting a little bit of a motor on it makes cycling more attractive to a wider and aging audience,” said Aaron Ritz, who oversees the Indego bike-share system for the City of Philadelphia. Over the next five years, the Indego system will more than double in size, making half the fleet electric and focusing on historically underserved neighborhoods, which tend to be Black or Latin American. “The more we shift from single-occupancy vehicles, the better, for reasons of air quality, traffic safety, environmental impact and greenhouse gas emissions,” Mr. Ritz said. Gregory F. Maassen, 53, a resident of Washington, D.C., describes the district’s Capital Bikeshare e-bikes as “built like tanks to withstand a lot of abuse.” E-bike aficionados, like Mr. Maassen, who founded a social group called E-bike Lovers, prefer higher-end bikes, but credit bike-sharing as a gateway for introducing them to a broader audience. “Interest in bike-share systems has had a great impact on the acceptance of e-bikes,” he said. “It gives people a low-cost entry into this new technology.” E-bikes can be purchased for a few hundred dollars, though most fans say quality bikes start around $1,500 and go much higher. But finding a fully charged bike is crucial, said Richard Strell, 68, a Bay Wheels bike-share rider in San Francisco. “I started using e-bikes because of Covid and I don’t own a car in San Francisco,” he said, noting that e-bikes with only seven or eight miles left on the battery were too weak to get him up hills. “I was excited, but it turned out to be disappointing.” Going farther, faster and mainstream Shared bike systems always aimed to go the “last mile” or fill the gap between public transit hubs and your destination. E-bikes makes them more serious contenders as transportation options by going farther with less effort. “If I can get someplace farther or faster, that matters when you’re picking a mode of transportation,” said Bill Dossett, the executive director of Nice Ride Minnesota, the nonprofit that started the shared mobility system in Minneapolis, now operated by Lyft, which plans to add about 2,000 e-bikes this spring. Lyft, the country’s largest bike-share service, has added transit information on its rideshare app in 17 cities to better coordinate with public transportation systems, in addition to showing available drivers, bikes and scooters. In Denver, users can buy transit passes through the app. “We’re giving people a user-friendly way to piece together trips and allow them to explore a city that historically would have been much harder,” said Caroline Samponaro, Lyft’s head of micromobility policy. The success of electric bikes and scooters has encouraged Bolt Mobility, which is in about 21 cities and college campuses, to develop electric mopeds, three-wheeled bikes and minicars, electric vehicles that offer more stability and protection. “These devices aren’t supposed to be just for 20-year-old kids, they’re supposed to be for everyone,” said Ignacio Tzoumas, the chief executive of Bolt Mobility. Bolt, which was co-founded by the Olympic gold-medalist sprinter Usain Bolt, has plans to bring its e-bikes and scooters to Tokyo in time for the Olympic Games this summer. Private bike-share systems predicted While most bike-share systems are affiliated with cities, entrepreneurs foresee a future in private bike shares for hotel guests, apartment complex renters or company employees. The peer-to-peer bike-sharing platform Spinlister is developing a private model that would station Rokit Ebikes at a hotel, for example, which could offer access as an amenity, leaving the management and maintenance to Spinlister. Before the pandemic, Hopr had plans to take its services, which include e-bikes, to hotels and create private bike-share systems, an effort paused by the dearth of travel. “We come from sharing and have the technology to unlock a bike from an app and rent it so it’s no hassle for the hotel,” Mr. Squire of Hopr said.

Breaking Down the "Fair Market Value" of Car Donations Madison

One really pervasive myth about car donations Madison is that they do not, in any way, benefit the donor financially. For this reason, a lot of people feel like it is foolish to donate something as valuable as a car to a charitable organization when they could make more money turning it over somewhere else. In reality, there are a number of possible financial benefits to making a car donation Madison WI (http://www.rawhide.org/donations/car-donation-madison/) Getting at least some financial return from the donation of a vehicle to a charitable organization is not that difficult, and it starts with understanding the meaning of the "fair market value" of the vehicle.

Car Donations Madison May Allow the Donor to Obtain the "Fair Market Value" of the Donation

Most donors of used vehicles receive some financial return through an end-of-year federal income tax deduction. In order to calculate the amount of this tax benefit, it is necessary to know the fair market value of the donated vehicle. The range of fair market values for car donations Madison is enormous. In 2019, the Green Bay Packers acquired two of Bart Starr's 1960's era Corvettes and auctioned them, later donating the money to a Wisconsin-based charity for needy kids. This was certainly one of the most highly-valued, vehicle-based donations anywhere for the year. On the other end of the spectrum, ordinary people donate their unwanted vehicles to various charitable organizations every day. A lot of these vehicles are worth less than $500, which seems like almost nothing.

So, how to determine the fair market value of a given vehicle?

Perhaps the most important thing to know is that the Kelley Blue Book value is not necessarily the same as the fair market value for any given vehicle. Because many people are familiar with the Kelley Blue Book, this is a common misconception. The Blue Book can be a good starting point for valuing a vehicle, however, there are many other factors that go into the final valuation, too.

Cars that are in exceptional condition will have a fair market value that exceeds the Blue Book's number. Everyone is familiar with the story about the great used car that was only driven to church by someone's grandmother once a month. As a buyer, it is obviously necessary to be wary of these kinds of sales pitches, but it's important to think about them as a donor, too. As the owner of an older, low-miles vehicle in great condition, however, there is a good case to be made for valuing that vehicle more highly than an identical vehicle in "average" condition.

Of course, the opposite is true of cars that have more wear and tear and other mechanical and cosmetic problems than are expected of an "average" vehicle of the same make and model year. If a vehicle doesn't run, has been wrecked or has many hundreds of thousands of miles on the odometer, then the fair market value will fall somewhat below the Kelley Blue Book's suggested price.

Documenting the fair market value of the vehicle is the most important aspect of the donation process. This means not only having an estimate from a reputable expert, but taking photos and copying maintenance records to back up the estimate to present to the charity of choice and to keep for your own records.

Take On Garage Floor Damage

Long before Wisconsin’s winter road conditions are a distant memory its leftovers are causing garage floor damage. Road salt residue is deposited on the concrete floor every time you come in from the cold. That corrosive liquid seeps into even the smallest cracks. After months of repeated exposure, it’s deep within the concrete. When temperatures drop inside your Madison WI garage the residue refreezes and expands. The repeated stress damages concrete floor from within.

In addition to cracks and chips on the concrete floor, there’s another curse from road salt: sub-florescence. That’s a fancy term for those white stains left behind when the slush falling off your car evaporates in the garage. The water goes away leaving a stain of crystalized salts bonded to the pores in concrete. Eventually concrete in these stained areas will flake off or spall.

Repair Winter Garage Floor Damage

The No. 1 protection for your garage floor is keeping it clean. Reducing exposure to corrosives limits the risk. Unfortunately, in and around Madison it is almost impossible to keep up during a normal winter.

Once stains get a foothold it will take more than a broom and shovel to clean the garage floor. There are commercial products and age-old remedies – ranging from mixing vinegar with water to using hydrochloric acid. Any do-it-yourself attempt has limited results. Not even modern pressure washers get the stains off. In fact, high-pressure washing can do more harm than good – driving salts deeper into cracks and promoting chipping.

Once the stains are removed pitting and spalling has to be patched. There are several options for products that will bond to existing concrete. Regular cement patch material is a poor choice – it will chip and break away.

Prevent Concrete Damage In Your Garage

If you’re lucky and your garage floor doesn’t need repairs, protection makes sense. There are assorted coatings to do the job. An epoxy floor coating is an excellent choice. It provides concrete floor protection with a flair for style and color.

Epoxy floor coatings are sensible solutions to protect everything from a commercial setup to your family’s garage. Once properly installed an epoxy surface can be cleaned with a broom and mop.

What leads to the appeal of this specialized surface covering? Consider three basics:

Durability – an epoxy coating is tough. It’s rugged enough to last long time with minimal maintenance. The coating is a thin protective barrier between the environment and concrete. It withstands the weight of heavy cars and high traffic. In addition it withstands the impact of dropped tools.

Resists stains – the surface withstands chemical and oil spills. It doesn’t stain and is easier to clean than sealed concrete. Wash out the garage with your garden hose to remove road salt residue and any spills. Simple soap and water applied with a mop manages basic cleanup chores all year long.

Surface protection – after installing one of these high=performance floors you can be assured it will stand up to heavy vehicles, equipment and tools. Roll a pro-sized toolbox around the garage without scratches of scuffs of any kind.

Another aspect of an epoxy surface that impacts daily use is its contribution to your safety. A smooth, level floor reduces the chance of slips, trips and falls. It wipes clean with soap and water to remove slip potential.

In addition to these features, a new garage floor is more comfortable to walk on and looks sharp.

A Garage Floor To Be Proud Of

There’s only one word for a cracked and stained garage floor: ugly. An epoxy floor coating provides a smooth, polished appearance. With added colors and design you create your own custom room for your cars. You can add custom colors, logos and designs for a truly custom look. A bright, colorful garage is an addition you’ll be proud of. And a place you’ll like to visit. Glossy floor reflect light for better overall illumination in the garage – and added perk.

Because epoxy lasts, is durable and practically maintenance-free, it is one of the most cost-effective additions you can make. It’s easy to clean and protects the garage floor so you won’t have major repair or maintenance costs in the future. It adds to the resale value of your property, too.

Guard Against Garage Floor Damage

After a harsh Wisconsin winter, even the best coating of concrete sealant doesn’t protect your garage floor from the corrosive impact of road salt. Your vehicles pull in a concentrated mixture of salt, dirty water and ice melting chemicals. The more you drive, the more of this mixture is deposited on the concrete floor. The right floor covering protects your garage. An epoxy floor provides a smooth, level surface. Done right, it is easy to keep clean all year-round with a mop and broom. In addition epoxy provides a really custom look with dynamic designs and colors.

Experience, proper surface preparation and the right tools are critical to a successful installation. Garage Flooring Solutions is a professional epoxy coatings company serving Madison and the surrounding area with an extensive selection of coatings for all concrete surfaces.

A car donation Madison WI will relieve you of the old car in your garage

How can a car donation Madison WI make sense to potential donors?

Old cars have different meaning in our lives. They play the role of beloved junker that somehow keeps on going, and that of taking up the majority of space in our driveways or garages. Old vehicles are, unfortunately, constantly losing value. Not always built with sustainability in mind, any car or truck you own will eventually have parts worn to a point of obsolescence. Proper maintenance will help to maintain regular working order for longer than usual, though at some point they will be in need of repair or replacement. A car owner expects this and knows that their time with a vehicle is limited depending on the amount of wear and tear put on it. With a time limit in mind, there are a few options as to what to do with an aging vehicle.

Most people tend to sell a car before problems arise. This is especially true if they require extensive repairs beyond the price of a typical tune up. The inevitable can happen at any moment though, and sometimes you end up paying the full price just to ensure that your car will run. When this happens, it's worth it to continue fixing issues, big or small.

The real issue comes once you have to decide between the value of fixing the major issues and scraping the excess. Transmissions and frames are some of the most common problems, and often the repair costs outweigh the benefits and the owner ends up with an unusable vehicle. At this point, the scrap yard is likely where it needs to be. Unfortunately, a tow can cost a hefty amount to get rid of an old scrapper, which is frustrating. Because of this, most owners let their rusty truck or car sit until a decision is made.

The best option for old car removal is car donation Madison WI.

By the time an owner thinks about moving the broken rust bucket, it is usually too late. One option that both benefits the owner and the community is that of car donation to charity. Car donation may seem like an extreme step, but the return is often worth it. By donating a car to charity (http://www.rawhide.org), the owner gets a tax deduction equal to the car's value, whether working or not. Initially, if an owner had to attempt to sell, they'd likely be selling for scraps and parts. A few dollars of profit may be made on this transaction, but nothing that compares to a charitable donation. Not only do these companies give you a receipt for the amount of your vehicle, but they will also pick up your car or truck for free in many cases. If donors live in an inaccessible area, they can also arrange a drop-off.

A deductible donation receipt counts towards your annual taxes. The process involves adding up your income, deducting expenses, and then getting taxed based on how much you made. The tax brackets are on a leveled system, so if you make over a certain amount, then you pay more. For some, the system works wonders for those on the verge of the higher bracket that pays more, the return that they have to may be a nightmare. 

A few hundred dollars extra saved might make the difference though, and this is where donations come in. Not only will a car donation charity take away your vehicle for free, but they may also put you in a position where you make more off the car than its initial worth. Compared to the alternative, an incentive with a car donation Madison WI might be the best way to grant yourself a tax break - and do something good for the community, too.

Don’t Stress Over Epoxy Floor Cleanup

BEFORE — it doesn’t take long after a week of rainy weather or local road construction (not to mention winter road grime) for a garage floor to look like this.

The best way to make sure epoxy floor cleanup us quick and easy is keeping up with the dirt. Sweep and vacuum your Madison WI garage on a regular basis. Get all the loose dirt, debris and road grit off the floor as soon as you can.

Epoxy floors are popular because they require little maintenance. However, that doesn’t mean “no maintenance.” Common sense is the No. 1 guide.

Removing dirt and grit is important because it can be ground into the surface and scratch epoxy finishes. Invest in a good shop vac with soft brushes – you’ll find plenty of uses for it.

Epoxy Floor Cleanup Suggestions

Timing is important. Regular spot cleaning is more efficient than trying to catch up when a lot of debris and dirt has been tracked in. Your vacuum plus a broom, a good mop or deck-scrubbing brush is all you need. Highly water-resistant epoxy surfaces are easy to clean after simple spills or rain water dripping off a vehicle.

Before you begin a cleanup, consider:

Avoid harsh cleaning solutions – don’t use any soap-based floor cleaners. They leave a haze on the epoxy coating. These high-tech floors don’t need soap. Use warm water and your mop or brush. Never use citrus cleaners or vinegar. These solutions contain acid that will degrade the surface.

Dealing with stains – stains like rust require light scrubbing with a non-marking kitchen scrubbing sponge and warm water. Never use steel wool or abrasive cleansers.

Oil and chemicals – most garages are where the household chemicals and vehicle maintenance fluids reside. Be sure to wipe up antifreeze, oil and all car-related spills as soon as they happen. Engine oil additives will break down the epoxy coating. Spill has must be attended to immediately it is a threat to the floor surface in more ways than one.

Selecting Epoxy Floor Cleaning Solutions

AFTER— apply a mop, some warm water and little muscle and the dirt and grime is washed away from the high-quality epoxy finish on this garage floor.

The best household cleanup solution for an epoxy garage floor is an old-fashioned mixture of 1/2-cup ammonia to 1 gallon of hot water. Mix it in a sturdy bucket. Apply it with a foam or microfiber mop. Remember to rinse the mop frequently so you’re cleaning, not just moving dirty water around. This basic solution works well for simple dirt and grime. In addition, it works well with winter’s salt film and residue. For most jobs, this is the only cleaning aid you’ll need.

There are two commercial products not usually associated with floor cleaning that work well, too:

Windex – known as a window cleaner, it provides excellent spot cleaning power. Mix 1 part Windex to 3 parts water. The chemicals in the window cleaner don’t leave a film on the epoxy coating and will cut through a lot of oily residue.

Simple Green – also best known for cleaning surfaces other than floors it works well on more stubborn dirt. It cuts through grease and grime. Use 1 part Simple Green to 8 parts water. A deck brush helps with scrubbing stains. You can mix a stronger solution but it can leave a film on the floor.

In both cases, always use a second bucket of clean water to rinse the floor as you go.

You can allow the floor to air dry – either with natural ventilation or using fans. Or you can wide down the spots with a lint-free cloth.

Easy Epoxy Floor Cleanup Begins With The Right Floor
