When to Replace Your Weather Stripping

When to replace your weather stripping can save you more significant problems in the future. Look out for these indications that it might be time to move on:

Cracks and Gaps

Visible cracks or gaps in the weather stripping allow air and moisture to enter your garage, compromising its insulation.

Fraying and Peeling

Weather stripping that is fraying or peeling at the edges is no longer effective and needs replacement.

Visible Wear and Tear

Normal wear and tear of everyday use can erode the weather stripping and lessen its ability to seal your garage door.

Types of Weather Stripping

We offer two main types of weather stripping to suit different needs and preferences:

V-Shaped Weather Stripping

Commonly used and made from flexible vinyl or rubber, V-shaped weather stripping fits snugly into the door’s metal track but can become brittle over time.

Bulb-Style Weather Stripping

Featuring a small air bulb at the bottom, bulb-style weather stripping provides an additional buffer against water, wind, and debris, and tends to be more durable than V-shaped weather stripping.

While some may opt for DIY weather stripping replacement, professional services offer several advantages.

Pros and Cons of DIY

  • Pros: Cost-effective, immediate fix.
