These Door Options Make Your Garage Band Better (for Everyone!)

Hundreds of the world’s best known musical acts began in a garage. With plenty of room and the ability to be isolated from your house, garages have long been a popular practice space for musical acts. If you’re in need of a new door, working with contractors for garage installation Bakersfield will show you that there are lots of features to choose from. Here are some things that can help your band sound and perform even better.

Insulation

Insulation in a door can make a big difference in a few different ways. First, it can help to keep you warmer in cold months. This allows you to have longer practice sessions and to play without a lot of heavy winter clothing on. An insulative layer can also help to dampen the reverberation of the sound you create, reducing the echo effect and helping you to improve your band’s timing.

Soundproofing

If you live in an area with a lot of homes, a very active (or controlling) HOA, or thin walls to your home, soundproofing is a helpful feature for your garage and garage door. Soundproofing options can be found on the door as well as retroactively on the walls in the form of sound panels. Keeping good neighbors is a good way to be able to hold on to your practice space for years to come.

Windows

If you play during the day, ambient light is always a good idea with your band. If you can’t play with the door up, choosing windows in your garage door can allow you the ambient light you need to read notes without the cost of an extra spotlight. Window coatings can offer you plenty of opportunity for larger windows without showing everyone the interior of your garage. This is often the best of both worlds when it comes to choosing between light and security.

No matter what kind of band you have, if your garage is your practice space, there are lots of great repair and upgrade options that can make your jam sessions even better.
