To make your garage door more comfortable and secure, you can get a garage door seal. Garage door seals are easy to install and are inexpensive. We’re going to talk about the different types of seal that’s mostly use by homeowners.
Garage door bottom seal is a piece of rubber that’s inserted at the bottom of the door on the edge. It gives good protection against mice, insects, cold breeze, dirt, and water from getting inside.
Some garage doors with a aluminium track at the bottom can actually hold the seal. The seal can cost about $40 dollars for a garage with two car doors. To get one much cheaper, you can get a single rubber strip. This can be attach to the garage door that have wood using staples or small nails.
It’s easy to know when the bottom seal needs to be replace because you’ll start to see daylight coming through a closed garage door. The next one you should know about is the garage door threshold seal.
This seal is similar to the bottom seal, but the difference between the two is the threshold seal is attached to the floor instead of the door, unlike the bottom seal. The threshold seal can usually be more durable than the bottom seal. One downside about is it will prevent any water from flowing out of your garage.
For a two car garage door the threshold seal can cost about $70 bucks. Another one is called the garage door weatherstrip. This seal is use for the top of the door and the sides. It helps protect against the wind and rain coming through the side or top area of your garage door.
For about $20 bucks you can buy a 30 feet strip. Installing it is very easy to do and I would recommend installing the other seals as well for full protection. If you the garage door weather kit it will give you everything you need to install all for sides of your garage door.
For a two car garage door the weather kit prices could range anywhere from $70 to $100. These seals for your garage door are a good investment and will protect you door very well. So if you’re looking for extra protection for your garage then definitely get the seal installed immediately.
