Whether you've turned your garage into a music studio, a workshop, or a retreat for some peace and quiet, soundproofing a garage door can transform your space. A soundproof garage can keep noise in (block it or out) and ensure you won’t disturb your neighbours or be disrupted by external sounds. In many cases, your garage door can be the culprit when it comes to noise leakage as it can have gaps, thin panels or may lack adequate insulation.
In this guide, we’ll look at the different types of Stormstop seals you can use for a soundproof garage door and other products that can provide garage sound insulation.
Yes, you can soundproof a garage door with the right materials and techniques. While most standard garage doors are not designed to block noise, you can significantly reduce sound leakage by addressing key weak points like gaps under the door and around the sides.
Stormstop garage door seals are a practical and affordable way to reduce sound transmission. Whether you’re soundproofing a garage for band practice or you need to create a quiet sanctuary, each type of seal targets specific gaps and weak points that can let sound in or out. Here’s how different seals can help with garage door soundproofing:
Stormstop multi-seals are versatile options designed to seal the gaps around the sides and top of the garage door. Made from durable rubber, these seals not only block draughts and water but also reduce sound waves entering through narrow gaps. By creating a tight barrier, multi-seals can minimise the flow of vibrations and help reduce noise significantly.
Rubber garage door seals from Stormstop are essential for addressing gaps at the base of the garage door. Our high-quality rubber seal absorbs the vibrations caused by noise. It also provides a cushion that prevents sound waves from escaping or entering. For added effectiveness, you can combine a rubber bottom seal with a threshold seal for a complete seal against sound.
Stormstop brush seals feature bristles that sweep against the door’s surface and provide a barrier against noise, air, and dust. While not as dense as rubber garage door seals, garage door brush seals are an excellent secondary precaution, especially for reducing minor sound leaks along the bottom of the garage door.
Beyond using Stormstop seals, there are a few products you can use to get a soundproof garage.
Look for gaps around the garage door and note areas where sound may leak through.
Use a combination of multi-seals, bottom seals, and brush seals to create a tight barrier against sound. Check out our fitting guides for detailed installation instructions.
Add acoustic panels, window plugs and insulation to further reduce noise transmission.
After installation, test your garage door by listening for sound leaks and ensuring the door operates smoothly.
Soundproofing your garage door doesn’t have to involve expensive renovations. By using high-quality seals and supporting products, you can create a quiet, comfortable space without replacing your garage door.
