These are the reasons why weatherstripping for garage doors is essential. Gone are the days when garages are used just to park our cars. Modern day garages now have multiple uses – as active living spaces, workshops, laundry area, and storage space for tools and other valuable belongings. As such, water, rain, dust and dirt must be prevented from getting into the tiny crevices and spaces around the garage door, and because it is used quite often now for purposes other than parking cars, the doors connecting it to the main house are often left open or are opened and closed more frequently than usual.

Sliding garage door weatherstripping is a tough job for many people because of the uneven or irregular surfaces and movable parts. Paper thin gaps and spaces within and around sliding garage doors permit air, dust dirt, crawling and flying insects can go through inside. Nylon bristled brush seals offers the best and most energy efficient solution to this dilemma. The use of nylon brushes as air seals and weather stripping have been proven to cover gaps as small as 1/8” and as wide as 6” and provides an almost perfectly airtight (98% to 99%) seal at the same time – far more superior than other weather stripping materials.

Garage door threshold weather seal is an alternative for garage door bottom seal. Bottom seals are plain rubber vinyl strips that are nailed to the bottom of garage doors. This flexible seal compresses and seals the gap with the floor when the door is closed. Unfortunately on uneven floors, there may still be gaps and crevices with bottom seals. Besides, over time the rubber garage door bottom seal deteriorates and needs to be replaced. On the other hand, garage door threshold seals provide better closing and tighter seal between the door and the floor. It is a flange like strip of vinyl with a 2 inch flap and a 45 degree hump.

The bottom seal for garage door is the appropriate garage door add-on to protect the garage from water and debris. Almost of American homes set their garage door sealed at the bottom. Through experience, many people choose the rubber seal over the vinyl type. The rubber seal usually lasts longer than the latter and can withstand extreme temperature from the -60 to 160 degrees. Over time, the bottom seal becomes dry and brittle because of prolonged exposure to high temperature and moisture. Damaged bottom seals do not harm the main door, but they cannot give 100% protection like what new ones can.
