Why Garage Doors Seal Maintenance Matters
One of the most overlooked things when it comes to garage doors is the condition of your garage door seal. At first this might look like it’s not that big of a deal, but just like the rest of the garage door, it has an important part to play in keeping your home safe.
Your garage door is the only thing that’s protecting your garage from outside dangers like the elements, pests, and debris. Without a solid seal, your garage can get drafts, water, or even unwanted animals sneaking in. As long as you stay on top of your regular maintenance, you don’t need to worry about these problems or anything worse in the future.

A good seal keeps water from seeping in under your garage door. This helps protect your garage floor and anything you store inside from water damage. It’s a small and simple but can save you a lot of trouble down the road.

There’s a lot of tiny things that the rubber seal at the bottom of your garage door helps keep out, like leaves, dirt, and even small critters. This seal helps prevent your garage from getting any unwanted mess or uninvited guests, making it a safe space for you to use.
Improves Energy Efficiency
The bottom seal of your garage door not only blocks water, debris, and nasty critters from getting in, but it also blocks those annoying drafts. While it might not seem like a big deal, they actually make it harder for your garage to stay at a consistent temperature, making your home work harder and having higher energy bills. Make sure to regularly check your door’s seal to help keep your temperature and energy bills in check.
Protects Your Garage Door Internals
If you have a proper seal, it’s able to shield all the internal parts of your garage door from any weather conditions. So the seal doesn’t only keep your garage floors and walls protected from water and dirt, it also protects the moving parts of your opener. If your seal is in good condition, it’ll be almost impossible for your garage door internals to rust.

Over time, there’s going to be natural wear and tear leading to gaps in your door, which if left alone it definitely makes your house look worse. Having a complete seal with no gaps keeps your door looking new and clean, making your home look more elegant.

Improved Security
Sealing your garage door is not only about preventing the weather from entering, it’s also about shielding your property and everything inside. A high quality seal can block pests and bugs from entering, which is an easy way to make your garage more safe. It’s one of those small things that will make all the difference when it comes to securing your house.
Less Noise
A properly sealed garage door is almost a must-have when it comes to keeping out sounds. Holes around your door can allow all types of sound in from outside, even traffic or the wind blowing. Closing off those holes basically insulates your garage, which cuts back on the noise that enters. This makes your garage a quieter, more pleasant place to work or just relax.
Enhanced Durability
When you properly weatherstripping your garage door, you’re not just making it look better, you’re helping it last longer. A good weatherstripping keeps out moisture, dirt, and pests that can cause damage over time. It also helps protect against the wear and tear caused by weather conditions, from rain to snow to the harsh summer sun.
Signs You Need Garage Door Weatherstripping
If you notice drafts or a chilly breeze coming from beneath your garage door, it is probably time to check the weatherstripping. A broken or worn-out weatherstripping can let air in, which will make your garage chilly and uncomfortable during winter. You may also start to notice water or dirt coming in during a storm, which will damage your floor or whatever you have stored inside.
Another sign to look out for is increased utility bills. If your garage is letting cold air in during winter or hot air in during summer, it’s causing your HVAC system to do more work. A simple fix like a seal replacement can help keep the temperature in your garage more consistent and save you some money on those utility bills. if your seal looks like it’s been battle-worn, it’s probably time to get a new one.

What is the best way to weatherstripping a garage door?
The best way to seal a garage door is by replacing the bottom seal and checking the weather-stripping along the sides and top. This helps prevent drafts, water, and dirt from getting in. Our team can inspect your door and make sure everything is sealed properly, using the right materials for the best results.
Are garage doors supposed to be sealed?
Yes! Garage doors should be sealed to keep out the elements, pests, and debris. A proper seal helps keep your garage insulated, protects your belongings, and keeps your home more energy-efficient. If you notice any gaps or if your garage door isn’t sealing properly, it’s time to take a closer look at the seals.
Should I caulk around the garage door?
Caulking around the garage door is a good idea, but it’s not the most effective solution for the bottom seal. While caulking can fill in small gaps, it’s not as durable or reliable as a proper seal. We recommend replacing the weather-stripping and bottom seal for long-lasting results that really block out the elements.
Is rubber or vinyl garage door weatherstripping better?
Both rubber and vinyl seals have their benefits, but rubber tends to last longer and handle harsher weather conditions better than vinyl. Rubber seals are more flexible and durable, making them a great choice for maintaining a good seal throughout the year. Vinyl seals are more affordable, but rubber is usually the better option for long-term protection.
How often do you need to replace a garage door weatherstripping?
It depends on the wear and tear, but generally, a garage door seal should be replaced every 5 to 7 years. If you notice any cracks, gaps, or wear, it’s a good idea to replace the seal sooner. Regular maintenance and inspection can help you catch issues early and avoid bigger problems down the line.
Should garage door seal on the bottom?
Yes! The bottom seal is one of the most important parts of the garage door. It helps block water, dirt, drafts, and pests from getting in. Without a proper seal at the bottom, your garage can become vulnerable to the elements, and your energy bills could go up. A good bottom seal is key to keeping your garage secure and comfortable.
