QUICK ANSWER
An insulated garage door helps keep heat and noise out. It matters most when the garage is attached to the house or used as a workspace.
An insulated door has a foam core between two layers, which cuts noise and slows heat from reaching the garage.

When insulation matters most
If the garage is attached to the house, or you use it as a workshop or gym, insulation makes a visible difference in a hot climate. It also makes the door sturdier. See insulated door installation and compare steel doors such as the Wayne Dalton 8300.
