Below is a brief description of the main types of garage door seal products available, and the menu above provides links to pages listing related products …
- Garage Door Bottom Seal - The garage door bottom seal is a section of vinyl or rubber which can be fixed to the underside of the garage door. The strip has the ability to compress when the door is closed and thus creates a seal which is effective against water, dirt, wind, rodents and insects.
- Garage Door Threshold Seal - A Threshold Seal performs a similar task to that of the bottom seal. Instead of being attached to the garage door, the threshold is fixed to the floor. Usually the garage threshold seal is extra durable when compared with the bottom seal, but it can inhibit sweeping and water drainage from the garage.
- Garage Door Weatherstrip - The garage door weatherstrip seals the garage from wind or rain which may enter the garage via the gaps left at the sides and top of the door. These are simple to fix and are usually installed in addition to either a bottom seal or a threshold seal.
