When to Replace the Garage Door Stripping
After some time the seal of your garage door can degrade due to various environmental factors like high humidity levels, UV rays and temperature fluctuations, leading to gaps. Therefore, it’s essential to replace your garage door seal if you notice the following signs:
- Visible gaps and cracks: If the seal is torn it will let cold in during winter and allow water to seep in during the rainy season which may lead to potential water damage and rusting.
- Dirt or moisture infiltration: Dirt or moisture may infiltrate your garage, especially during wet weather if your garage door seal is damaged and no longer doing its job.
- Increased energy bills: If your seal is compromised it will allow air to escape which makes the cooling or heating system work harder to maintain the desired temperature and eventually results in higher energy costs.
- Difficulty closing the door: You’ll experience difficulty closing your garage door if the seal is misaligned or worn out which means you need to get a new seal.

Choosing Weather Stripping
Selecting the right weather stripping is essential for maximized performance. Weatherstripping is made from materials like rubber and vinyl and measures up to 2mm (thickness) and 10 to 20 feet (length). Our garage door repair company in Vancouver offers various weather stripping materials as outlined below:
- Vinyl: They are more affordable than rubber, easily nailed into place and are effective at blocking moisture and drafts but they degrade faster in direct sunlight and thus are better suited for shaded areas.
- Silicone: Ideal for garages exposed to harsh weather conditions because they are highly resistant to UV rays and moisture, and they provide long-lasting protection and superior performance.
- Rubber: Provides an airtight seal that performs well in extreme temperatures and offers insulation and protection against elements like moisture and drafts.
- Brush seals: They fill in irregular gaps that other seals can't fill, are made of soft bristles, effectively safeguard the sides of a garage door against the wind and block dust, debris and dirt.
The Benefits of Garage Door Weatherstripping
- Increased energy efficiency: It helps prevent drafts and heat loss, maintain your garage temperature and reduce your HVAC system's energy consumption.
- Protection from water & pests: Prevents water from pooling on the floor of your garage, which can cause mould growth and rust. It also prevents pests like insects and rodents from entering by sealing cracks and gaps around the door.
- Reduction of noise: Sound from the doors' operation and external noise is blocked, and the tighter fit of compression seals minimizes noise leaks, contributing to a quieter garage environment.
- Extended lifespan of your garage door: Sealing gaps reduces stress on your garage door components and helps it function smoothly and last longer by protecting it from harsh weather conditions in Vancouver.
- Enhanced comfort: Proper garage door repair in Vancouver and sealing make your garage area more comfortable year-round by eliminating drafts and cold areas in the garage.
Our Garage Door Weather Stripping Installation Process
- We start with an on-site inspection to assess the current seal of your garage door and note any potential issues that need to be addressed, such as wear and tear.
- If your old weather stripping is compromised,d we carefully remove it and ensure a clean surface of the door frame is maintained for the installation of a new seal.
- Our experts discuss and recommend the ideal weather-stripping solution based on your needs and budget.
- We measure the new seal to fit the exact dimensions of the garage door and cut the material according to the right length for the sides, top and bottom of the door.
- The new seal is carefully aligned and attached to the garage door framing using nails, screws and adhesive based on the type of material used.
- We adjust the new seal for a tight fit, ensuring all gaps are evenly filled, and an airtight barrier is created when the door closes.
