Most homes in and around Minneapolis, MN, have heating in their garage to deal with the cold winter temperatures. Weather stripping around your garage door is critical to keeping heat in the garage during winter while also helping keep the hot air out of the garage in the summer. For homes with an attached garage, this can have an impact on heating and cooling bills throughout the year.
If you feel drafts in the garage, can see light around the edges of the door, or if the temperature in the garage fluctuates with the outside temperature, weather strip door replacement provides a way to save you money.
There are different areas where weather strip door replacement may be required. Most people only think of the bottom weather stripping, which is designed to prevent air and moisture from coming in under the door. This is often damaged over time and when extreme heat and cold degrade the rubberized portion.
Similar to weather stripping used for the bottom of the garage door, PVC trim is another solution used in tandem with the seal to help control temperatures and aide in proper door functionality. PVC trim can be used in cases where the door is not perfectly fitted or if the door or tracks have been damaged causing the door itself to shift.
