Frequently Asked Questions About Garage Door Seal Repair
We’ve put together answers to a couple of questions we commonly get regarding garage door seal repair in Louisville, KY.
Are garage door seals and garage door weatherstripping the same thing?
When referring to a garage door seal, that often means the bottom seal of the garage door that makes sure water, outside air, and pests don’t get into your garage. Weatherstripping references the entire garage door sealing system with the top and side components, as well.
How long does a garage door seal last?
You can expect the seal of a garage door to last between two and five years. In order to improve its chances of lasting longer, you should use mild soap and water to regularly clean the seal, don’t pressure wash it directly, and inspect it for signs of cracks or hardness once or twice per year.
