Ace Hardware Garage Door Seal

Garage doors are an essential part of any home, providing a secure and convenient way to enter and exit the garage. Over time, however, the seals around garage doors can become worn or damaged, allowing air and water to enter the garage. This can lead to a number of problems, including increased energy costs, damage to the garage door and its contents, and even mold growth.

Fortunately, replacing the garage door seal is a relatively simple and inexpensive project that can be completed in a few hours. The first step is to remove the old seal. To do this, simply use a utility knife to cut the seal away from the garage door. Be careful not to damage the door itself. Once the old seal has been removed, clean the area around the door with a damp cloth. This will help to ensure that the new seal adheres properly.

Next, apply a bead of caulk around the perimeter of the garage door. This will help to seal any gaps between the door and the frame. Once the caulk has been applied, press the new seal into place. Be sure to press firmly so that the seal adheres properly. Allow the caulk to dry completely before opening and closing the garage door.

By following these steps, you can easily replace the garage door seal and help to keep your garage protected from the elements.

Choosing the Right Garage Door Seal

When choosing a new garage door seal, there are a few things to keep in mind. First, consider the type of garage door that you have. There are different types of seals available for different types of doors. Second, consider the climate in which you live. If you live in a cold climate, you will need a seal that is designed to withstand extreme temperatures. Third, consider the amount of traffic that your garage door gets. If you use your garage door frequently, you will need a seal that is durable and long-lasting.
