I have a roughly 20 y/o house with an internal garage.
The garage door is single skin metal, and doesn't seal around the edges or bottom very well.
Inside the garage the walls are airbrick, and ceiling is plastered. But there are cracks where the plaster meets the airbricks.
I feel like we're loosing quite a bit of heat due to the gaps and lack of insulation. I recently took a floorboard up in the room above the garage. I could see the underside of the garage's plasterboard ceiling, and light coming through the cracks.
I need to first seal up the cracks, then insulate or replace the garage door.
Can I have some suggestions on the best products to use?
I was thinking of using expanding foam for the larger gaps, then probably a cheap flexible caulk?
The insulated roller garage doors look like they may provide the best seal/insulation.
