The role of Mammoth^® Insulation in Sectional Garage Doors

What is Mammoth® Insulation?

Mammoth® is a high-performance insulation material with the added benefit of being a sustainable, fully recyclable product. It is made from 100% polyester, which provides effective temperature control, energy efficiency and a healthier environment in which to live.

This eco-friendly insulation is manufactured in New Zealand from recycled PET plastic in a zero-waste production process, making it one of the greenest building products available.

Why choose insulated Sectional Garage Doors?

Mammoth® Insulation can be fitted on Windsor Doors' Sectional Garage Door range for more effective temperature control throughout your garage and adjacent living spaces.

Mammoth® offers superior thermal performance compared to a normal garage door, particularly steel doors, with no insulation. This is because steel is a conductor of heat. Without garage door insulation, heat transfer makes your entire home hotter in summer. An insulated garage door helps you lower energy bills by offering thermal resistance against extreme temperature fluctuations, leading to improved energy efficiency.

It's not just more energy efficiency that you'll gain from insulating your garage door. Mammoth® Insulation absorbs sound for a quieter environment in your home. Having a garage door that absorbs noise instead of amplifying it is particularly effective in homes with attached garages. This is because Mammoth® Insulation blocks external noise from the street to the house and allows you to use your garage as a multi-purpose space without bothering those inside the home.

Mammoth® vs traditional garage door insulation materials

When it comes to garage door insulation options, polyester is only surpassed by polyurethane in terms of thermal performance. However, polyester offers far better acoustic performance and has a much lower environmental impact than polyurethane.

Polyurethane can cause indoor air pollution and health issues as it releases volatile organic compounds. Other basic insulation options, like fibreglass, also pose a health risk as they contain glass particles and chemical binders, which irritate the skin and lungs. Polyurethane and fibreglass are more difficult to install than polyester insulation options like Mammoth®.

Another common insulation material, polystyrene, compares poorly in terms of acoustic performance and its impact on the environment, and is generally of a similar price to polyester insulation.

Regarding durability and disposal at the end of its lifespan, nothing compares to polyester and its ability to remain useful in a closed-loop recycling system. Therefore, if you're looking for a healthier, easier-to-install product that will stand the test of time, polyester should be your preferred option.

Where is Mammoth® Insulation used in garage doors?

Mammoth® Insulation is designed to be easily inserted into the back of the individual Sectional Garage Door panels. This ensures a proper fit and optimal thermal and acoustic performance. The insulated panels feature a black face that looks neat and protects them from scuffing.

Is Mammoth® Insulation worth the investment?

By installing Mammoth® Insulation, you can dramatically improve the energy efficiency of your garage space. This means you'll save money on heating and cooling costs, especially if your garage is attached to your home. With a more comfortable environment, you can also maximise the use of your garage and ensure that anything you store within won't be exposed to temperature fluctuations.

Mammoth®'s sound-blocking ability means that traffic and other noise from your street will no longer be a problem, nor will the echo from your garage space into the rest of your home. It's even quieter upon opening and closing, meaning no more late-night wake-ups.

Installing Mammoth® means that you can use your garage for a wider variety of purposes and reduce your energy bills while also boosting the value of your home. We'd say this makes Mammoth® a very worthwhile investment indeed.
