Reasons To Keep A Garage Cool For Dog (Recommended)
There are many reasons to keep your dog in the garage. The most popular reasons people keep their dog’s in their garage are:
- Keeping the dog in garage while at work
- Leaving the dog in a garage overnight
- Keeping the dog in the garage while you have guests over
In either case, there are many methods of maintaining a cool garage. The best way to keep a garage cool for your dog is to install garage insulation, garage door insulation and a garage mini split ac unit.
Not only will our SRX insulation keep your garage cool in the summer but its also helps regulate the temperature for keeping your dog in the garage during the winter. The temperature will be more stable even without a heater or air conditioning. However, most garage mini split units also have heating options as well.
Without installing insulation or a mini-split system, your garage is going to get really hot, especially if you live in warm states like Arizona, Florida or Texas.

Garage Radiant Barrier / Attic Insulation
Garage radiant barrier blocks radiant heat from penetrating the roof of your garage (the primary source of garage heat). We use SRX garage radiant barrier foil to block out 98% of radiant heat. You can purchase a similar kind of radiant barrier material, but no radiant barrier system works as good as our SRX garage insulation.

SRX is the best insulation for garage doors and will fill in any tiny holes or gaps where hot air can make it though. Insulating your garage door ensures that your dog will have a more comfortable garage environment.
