Sherwood Park has seen a steady increase in demand to increase living space through garage space. This trend is due to rising real estate values in the region: converting a garage is 4-5 times cheaper than buying a new home with more square footage. In addition, many residents are transitioning to remote work and need a home office. Replacing doors becomes a key step in creating a comfortable space. Highly insulated vinyl doors allow you to maintain a comfortable temperature year-round, and their installation pays for itself by increasing the market value of the home by 15-20%.
Technical aspects of conversion
Newly designed exterior doors are installed in place of the former garage doors. The installation technology provides for the creation of a reliable thermal circuit with a heat transfer resistance coefficient higher than the standard one. Modern materials provide high durability and resistance to temperature fluctuations.
