Weatherstripping

What is Garage Door Weatherstripping?

Weatherstripping is the material used to seal the gaps between your garage door and the frame, as well as along the bottom of the door. This seal keeps out air drafts, moisture, dirt, and pests, while also helping to regulate the temperature inside your garage. Over time, weatherstripping can wear down due to exposure to the elements, leading to leaks and reduced insulation.

At Lanham Garage Solutions, we provide professional garage door weatherstripping services to protect your home from the elements and improve energy efficiency. Proper weatherstripping ensures that your garage stays insulated, preventing drafts, water, dirt, and pests from entering your space.

Whether you're looking to replace worn-out weatherstripping or install new seals, we’re here to help safeguard your garage and home.

Signs You Need Weatherstripping Replacement

  • Drafts or Temperature Changes: If you notice a noticeable temperature difference in your garage or feel drafts when the door is closed, it’s likely that your weatherstripping is no longer effective.

  • Water Leaks: If rainwater is seeping into your garage, especially near the bottom of the door, the weatherstripping at the bottom seal may be damaged or worn.

  • Visible Cracks or Gaps: Cracked, brittle, or missing weatherstripping can no longer provide an adequate seal, leaving your garage vulnerable to weather and pests.

  • Increased Energy Bills: Poor insulation in your garage can affect the temperature in adjacent rooms, forcing your heating or cooling system to work harder and increasing your energy costs.

Don’t let worn or damaged weatherstripping compromise your garage's comfort and security. With our expert weatherstripping services, you can keep your garage safe from the elements, lower your energy costs, and extend the life of your garage door.

Benefits of Weatherstripping Your Garage Door

  1. Energy Efficiency: Properly installed weatherstripping helps keep cold air out in the winter and warm air out in the summer, making your garage more energy-efficient. This can reduce your energy bills by minimizing heat loss or gain, especially if your garage is attached to your home.

  2. Protection from the Elements: Weatherstripping protects your garage from water, wind, dirt, and debris. By sealing off gaps around the door, you’ll prevent water damage, rust, and corrosion on your garage door and stored items.

  3. Pest Control: Gaps in your garage door can invite pests such as insects, rodents, and other small animals into your garage. Weatherstripping creates a barrier to keep unwanted guests out.

  4. Noise Reduction: Sealing gaps around your garage door can also reduce outside noise from traffic, neighbors, or other disturbances, making your garage a quieter and more comfortable space.

  5. Extends Garage Door Life: By protecting your garage from the elements and maintaining a controlled environment, weatherstripping can help extend the life of your garage door, hardware, and other components.
