Room above garage cold.
The main bedroom in my house is above the garage.
Wall to wall carpeting is installed with a thick pad underneath which is another layer between feet and the cold garage.
Wait is there even a solution to this.
You might use this room for anything from a bedroom to an office bathroom or storage space.
The higher the r value the better the insulation.
I was thinking of gluing and screwing in styrofoam insulation 1 inch thick on the ceiling of the garage.
It s really hot in the room all summer and it feels that way eight months out of the year.
If the room has wood laminate or another hard surface floor a thick area.
Hi thank you so much for the replies.

Does your home have a bonus room above the garage.
Use a styrofoam plug and plug each hole after you fill it.
To allow for access partially close the garage door as you get to those holes above the garage door tracks.
Having a well insulating garage door is helpful in this regard.
