When it comes to your garage door’s bottom seal, it plays a crucial role in maintaining insulation and weatherproofing. Over time, due to wear and tear or exposure to the elements, the seal may deteriorate, leading to drafts, water seepage, or even pest intrusion.

Replacing the bottom seal involves selecting the appropriate material and size to ensure a proper fit for your specific garage door. Typically made from durable rubber or vinyl, the seal attaches to the bottom of the door to create a barrier against elements and pests.

To replace the bottom seal, you’ll need to first measure the width of your garage door to determine the correct size. Then, remove the old seal by pulling it out of its track or slot along the bottom of the door. Clean the track thoroughly to ensure a smooth surface for the new seal.

Next, insert the new seal into the track or slot, starting from one end and working your way to the other. Ensure that the seal sits snugly and evenly along the bottom of the door, with no gaps or folds that could compromise its effectiveness.

Once installed, test the door to ensure proper operation and check for any gaps or leaks. A properly installed bottom seal will help maintain energy efficiency, prevent water damage, and keep unwanted pests out of your garage, contributing to a more comfortable and secure space.
