How to Insulate a Converted Garage Living Area


A garage converted to living space needs the same level of insulation in the ceiling, walls, and floor as the top floor of your house.

To supplement insulation already installed in the garage, you can blow cellulose into the walls.

Insulate the floor with rigid foam boards, as you would a basement floor.

Unless your garage is under your house, it needs the same level of ceiling insulation as the top floor of your house. Adding insulation to the ceiling, like adding it to the ceiling of an attic, is a job that may well require the services of a pro.
