Steps to Cover Garage Door Gaps – Fort Lauderdale Garage Doors & Gate

As someone who has faced the problem of garage door gaps before, I can share some insights on how to effectively cover these gaps and prevent unwanted elements from entering the garage.

Firstly, as stated in Garage Door Repair Fort Lauderdale FL, I measured the size of the gap to determine the amount of material needed to cover it. I then purchased weatherstripping material suitable for garage doors such as rubber or foam.

After cleaning the area around the gap with a damp cloth and letting it dry, I cut the weatherstripping material to the appropriate size and ensured it fit snugly into the gap. I applied adhesive to the material and pressed it into the gap, holding it in place for a few seconds to ensure it stuck.

For larger gaps, I used a garage door seal, which is a flexible strip installed along the bottom of the garage door to create a seal between the door and the floor. I also installed a threshold seal to cover gaps along the bottom of the garage door. This seal is a strip of material that is attached to the garage floor and creates a seal between the door and the floor.

In addition to these methods, I also installed a garage door insulation kit, which came with insulation panels that fit over the garage door and helped to insulate the space and cover gaps.

For wooden garage doors, I used wood filler or caulk to fill any gaps, ensuring to sand and paint over the filler or caulk for a seamless finish.

Overall, by following these steps from Garage Door Repair Fort Lauderdale FL, I was able to effectively cover garage door gaps and prevent pests, dust, and weather elements from entering my garage.
