Garage open to attic.

Garage plans with loft. You just saw a roof rat in your yard. Opening your automatic garage door will let cool air and a draft in. If you have an attic fan and used it while the access door to the attic in the garage was open that access door amply supplied the cfm intake needed by the fan.

Then prop open the garage s attic access ladder by about 12 inches or enough to let a sizable draft enter your attic. Opening your attic access panel will draw that air into the attic and help to push the hot air up there and out through the roof vents assuming you have proper attic ventilation. If you intend to build a new detached garage for one or two cars you can choose one of our well designed garage plans with a loft. You can even use any of our garage plans with living quarters to expand the living space in your house.

Insulated garage doors can have up to an r18 rating where an uninsulated door is r 0 therefore helping keep the garage and home cooler more. But that is seldom the case resulting in conditioned air being sucked from the living space to make up the difference. The strut design eliminates springs and allows for a wide access opening easy to open and close smoothly.
