The reality for many Australian families and homeowners is that a garage is no longer merely a slab of enclosed concrete for storing vehicles and other miscellaneous household items that we don’t want to keep inside our house proper.
The humble garage is now a functional, multi-use living space in many Aussie homes. It can double as a gym, a home office, a man cave, a workshop, an indoor golf practice facility, a rumpus room, or a spare bedroom. It can house billiard tables and pool tables, washing machines, second refrigerators, and homebrew kits.
As the way we use our garages changes, so too does the amount of time we spend in them. As such, it is no longer acceptable for our garages to be so susceptible to the at-times harsh Australian climate – whether it’s steaming in summer or freezing in winter. Like the rest of the home, the garage is now a functional space, so it needs to be suitably insulated like the other functional areas in our homes.
