Why Weather Stripping & Seals Matter
Even the best garage door can have small gaps where air can enter. That’s where a complete, well-designed weather seal system comes in.
Energy Savings
Proper seals help keep warm air in during winter and cool air in during summer, saving you money.
Noise, Dust & Pest Deterrence
Good seals minimize noise intrusion, dust infiltration, and entry by insects or rodents.
Preventing Damage & Wear
A tight seal helps prevent water from seeping into components, reducing rust and wear on door hardware.
Types of Seals & Where They Go
Garaga’s weather stripping system comprises several elements to ensure a full seal. Below are the common types of seals:
Seals the gap between door and floor. Often slides into a retainer channel on metal doors.
Provides the seal between door edges and frame when closed.
Useful when driveway slopes prevent perfect bottom contact.
Helps reduce air and moisture infiltration between panels. Learn more about our garage door panels
Signs It’s Time to Replace Your Seals
Here are the warning signs your weather stripping may be failing:
- You see daylight beneath or around the edges of the closed door.
- You feel drafts coming into the garage.
- Water or moisture gets in after heavy rainfall.
- Rodents or insects are finding their way in.
- Cracks, brittleness, or missing rubber where the seal contacts. The seal no longer compresses or rebounds properly.
- The door drags or binds slightly due to a warped or deteriorated seal.
Inspect your seals at least once a year, and replace them as needed to preserve performance.
