Garage Door Weatherstripping
Protect Your Home with Garage Door Weatherstripping
When new garage doors are installed, they typically come with weatherstripping that helps keep out mice, debris, moisture, dust, and other nuisances.
Over time, the seals may wear out and begin to crack or separate from the garage door. This can increase your energy bill and let pests from the outside make their way inside your home.
At Precision, we install high-quality weatherstripping to help protect your home and belongings from the elements.
Is Weatherstripping Necessary?
A well-sealed garage door is important in any environment, but especially so if you live in an area where the weather gets very hot, cold, windy, or unpredictable.
Here are a few reasons we typically recommend replacing worn weatherstripping.
- It helps insulate your garage – Adding weatherstripping to your garage door can improve insulation and potentially reduce your energy expenses by maintaining a more stable temperature in the garage.
- Seals protect your door – They act like a cushion that rests on the closing surface of the door which can help extend the door’s lifespan.
- Seals can help prevent moisture damage – Excess rain and moisture = rust, which can be really harmful to garage door components. Weatherstripping helps keep everything dry.
- They also help preserve your belongings – Homeowners usually store more than just their vehicles in the garage. Seals help prevent critters from entering your space and making a nest out of your camping gear.
How Can I Tell if I Need a Replacement?
We recommend periodically checking your weatherstripping, ideally at least once or twice per year. During your inspection, be sure your garage door is closed while examining the edges. Take note of the following signs:
- Visible signs of wear and tear, such as cracks, holes, or any noticeable damage.
- Drafts that you can feel coming through around the edges of your door.
- Water puddles near the bottom edge of your door, or finding that items stored in the garage feel damp.
- Rust is appearing on the metal components of your door.
