How should garage door weather seals and bottom seals be cared for?

Garage door weather seals and bottom seals are exposed to sun, rain, snow, ice, and changing temperatures throughout the year, so they can wear down over time. Homeowners can check these seals occasionally for cracking, gaps, brittleness, or areas where the seal no longer sits tightly against the floor or frame.

If the seal is damaged or no longer helps keep out moisture, debris, pests, or drafts, it may be time to have it replaced. A worn seal can make the garage less comfortable and may allow water or outside air to enter. A trained technician can inspect the condition of the seal, recommend the right replacement option for your garage door, and make sure it is installed correctly for a better fit.

Keeping weather seals in good condition is a simple way to help protect your garage from the elements and support the overall performance of the door.
