Sealing the bottom of your garage door is a great way to prevent rain, draughts, leaves and debris from getting into your garage. Installing a garage door floor seal, also called a threshold garage door seal is an effective solution but what is it and how does it work? In this mini guide, we’ll explain what a garage door threshold seal is and how it can effectively seal your garage door from the elements.
A threshold seal is a weather-resistant strip that creates a barrier against dust, draughts, pests and rainwater. Also referred to as a garage door floor seal or a garage door threshold strip, this type of seal can help the energy efficiency of the garage and provide a better seal between the door and the floor. Stormstop threshold garage door seals are made from a high-quality, durable rubber meaning they will be a long-lasting solution.
Threshold garage door seals are fitted to the floor of your garage using a strong adhesive to keep it in place. One primary function of a garage door threshold seal is to prevent water from entering the garage. This is especially important during heavy rain or when water pools near the garage.
When fitted correctly, a garage door threshold forms a barrier between the bottom of the door and the floor that prevents water from melted snow or rain from entering. It also works well in closing any gaps that may allow insects to enter. When a garage door is closed, a threshold seal compresses and forms a tight seal. On windy days, seals will stop draughts and dirt from being blown under the door.
A premium quality threshold seal made from superior materials is best for your garage door. The materials used for Stormstop threshold garage door seals are chosen for their durability and resistance to weather conditions.
