Sealing the Gaps: Garage Door Weatherstripping Installation
Here is the rewritten content:
Need to replace your old garage door weatherstripping? You’re in the right place! Today, I’ll be walking you through the simple steps to swap out that worn-out seal and keep pests, dust, and cold air where they belong—outside.
Last year, I shared a post all about garage door maintenance, and it struck a chord with many of you. In that guide, I covered essential tips to keep your garage door operation running smoothly, including one crucial step – checking the garage door weather seal along the bottom of a garage door.
Our Garage Door Weather Seal Story
Replacing the old weather seal on our garage door was one of the very first DIY projects we did in this home almost six years ago. Our inspector noticed that ours was in rough shape and told us what to do to replace it. We were amazed by how simple it was and as new homeowners, we felt very proud of ourselves!
Finally, make sure your door closes and that the gaps are all sealed on the bottom of the door. You want to have a tight seal without any light leaks on the bottom.
