What is Weatherstripping and What Are Their Benefits?
Weatherstripping is the process of sealing openings around a commercial or residential garage door to protect the interior of your garage from flooding and improve the overall insulation of your facility or your home. During summertime, weatherstripping helps to keep cool air in. During the rainy season and winter, weatherstripping keeps water and rain out, while stabilizing the home’s internal temperature.

Installed weatherstripping around your garage door will most likely help reduce the risk of lost energy. Additionally, the bottom of the garage door will not scrape against the concrete or pavement, helping to prevent premature wear of both the door and the floor. The cost of installing or replacing weatherstripping in your garage door is low, especially when compared to the long-term benefits it provides.
