Smart Solutions for Flexible Garage Insulation
Mounting Options
To insulate just part of your garage, thermal insulated curtains can be easily mounted in a variety of ways to fit your setup. The curtain system runs along a track that allows it to fold neatly when not in use. You can mount the track to the ceiling, wall, or suspend it from above using threaded rods or chains which are perfect for garages with different layouts. For a tighter seal, full-height vertical Velcro can be added along the sides. Optional magnetic or Velcro splits also make it easy to move between divided sections without removing the entire curtain.
Upgrade Your Garage with a Sleek Finish
Premium Accordion Folding Insulated Curtain
If you want to insulate part of your garage without sacrificing looks, an accordion-style insulated curtain is a solid option. The built-in pockets keep the insulation in place, so it folds smoothly and stays tidy when pushed aside. It’s a cleaner, more refined alternative to standard curtain styles which are great if you're aiming for something that’s both functional and easy on the eyes. Whether you’re dividing off a workspace or just trying to keep one section warmer, this option delivers comfort without the bulky look.
R-Values To Choose From
Temperature Control R-Values
You can choose from 3 different R-Values for our insulated garage divider curtains. R-Value is the capacity of an insulating material to resist heat flow. The higher the R-value, the greater the insulating power. As a general rule the longer you plan to have your curtain installed the higher R-Value you should choose. This will give you the best ROI on your investment. If however your need is short term then it is best to use the less expensive R-Values as long term energy savings will likely not be gained.
- R3 – Standard Separation – Retractable and Stationary
- R6 – High Separation – Retractable and Stationary
- R9 – Highest Separation – Stationary
Control Air Flow
Seal the Bottom for Better Temperature Control
If you’re insulating just one section of your garage, don’t overlook the gap at the bottom. Curtains that hang slightly above the floor can let cold air slip through, which makes it harder to keep that area comfortable. Even a small draft can impact how well the space holds its temperature. Adding a floor sweep solves this problem by sealing that space and helping maintain separate temperature zones. The sweep attaches with Velcro and extends a few inches below the curtain for full coverage. It’s also easy to swap out if you move the curtain to a different area with a higher or lower floor level.
