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.

Unlike the bottom seal, the threshold seal is attached to the length of the garage door track on the floor with the hump facing the outside of the garage. When the door closes, the back of the garage door bottom presses tightly against the hump of the threshold seal providing a real tight closure. Garage door threshold weather seal also efficiently block water, or wind-driven rain, snow, dust, dirt, insects, leaves and rodent. It effectively seals off the interior of your garage from outside elements. Good quality products should not crack or shatter also remains flexible under extreme temperatures.
