Garage Door Bottom Seal
A worn-out garage door bottom seal might not seem like a big deal, until it causes problems. If yours is cracked, missing, or just not sealing right, we’re here to help with fast, reliable replacements.
What Is a Garage Door Bottom Seal?
The garage door bottom seal, also known as the “door sweep”, is the flexible strip attached to the bottom edge of your garage door. Its job? To create a tight seal between the door and the floor, blocking out dust, dirt, moisture, pests, and outside air.
Most seals are made from durable rubber or vinyl and are designed to flex slightly so it can adjust to uneven floors while still giving you a solid barrier. No matter if you’re dealing with winter drafts, summer heat, or curious insects, a good seal helps keep your garage cleaner, drier, and more energy-efficient.
It’s one of those parts you don’t think about, until it stops working. Our team at Berintek Garage Doors knows when that happens, it can open the door to much bigger problems.

Common Problems With Garage Door Bottom Seals
Like any part exposed to weather and daily use, the garage door bottom seal doesn’t last forever. Over time, being exposed to sunlight, extreme temperatures, and constant contact with the garage floor can cause it to crack, warp, or pull away.
Here are some common signs your seal needs attention:
- Finding water in your garage after rain or snow
- Feeling drafts of cold or hot air from under the garage door
- Dust, dirt, or bugs finding their way in
- Door doesn’t close flush or makes weird noises
This can cause problems like higher energy bills, or long-term damage from moisture and pests. Without that proper seal, it puts extra stress on your garage door opener, which can wear it down even faster over time.
