Winter is just around the corner, and it’s time to prepare for the cold months. One of the most important considerations for homeowners with prefabricated garages is how best to prepare them for winter. In this article, we give you valuable tips on how to prepare your prefabricated garage for winter.
1. Humidity and fluctuating temperatures
Prefabricated garages made of concrete are ideal for high humidity and fluctuating temperatures. The heat storage capacity of the material has a positive effect on the indoor climate in your garage. Check the ventilation slots; they must not be blocked by objects. Sufficient ventilation of the garage is also important in winter to prevent condensation from forming.
2. Check the roof and drains
Snow and ice can put a strain on the roof of your prefabricated garage. Check the roof for damage and make sure that the drains are free of leaves and dirt so that meltwater and rainwater can drain away easily.

3. Bodenbelag prüfen
Reinigen Sie Ihre Garage noch einmal gründlich, damit Staub oder hineingewehte Blätter zusammen mit der Feuchtigkeit über die Wintermonate keinen Schimmel oder unangenehme Gerüche bilden können. Gerade Blätter können bei Feuchtigkeit eine Rutschgefahr darstellen. Der handgeglättete Boden der ZAPF Garage ist gerade bei Winterwetter optimal und bietet eine gewisse Griffigkeit bei Feuchtigkeit und Schnee.
4. In der Garage gelagerte Gegenstände
Decken Sie in der Garage gelagerte Gartengeräte oder andere Gegenstände ab, damit diese den Winter dort gut überstehen. Gerade Besen und Schneeschaufel sollten griffbereit sein. Auch ein Eimer mit Streusalz sollte in der Garage nicht fehlen.
5. Funktionsprüfung
Prüfen Sie das Garagentor noch einmal auf optimale Funktion. Geben Sie bei Bedarf noch etwas Öl in die entsprechenden Öffnungen. Vergewissern Sie sich auch, dass Fenster und Türen sicher und vollständig schließen.
