Be sure to measure your garage opening properly before you buy the product, if it’s too large they can always be cut down to size.
How Does This Garage Door Threshold Seal Work Exactly?
The first step to making your garage waterproof is to place it firmly down on the floor, make sure it pushes up against the back of your garage door. This combined with the adhesive and sealant provided with the purchase will create a water-tight seal which will not allow any water to pass it further.
That’s just the main application however, some of the other benefits are that because it seals any gaps between the garage door and floor it means that mice and other rodents won’t be able to slip into the garage. Additionally, it can stop heat from escaping and allow you to enjoy lower energy costs while also reducing condensation in the garage slowing down the rusting of metal equipment and tools.
What Material Is This Garage Door Threshold Seal Made From?
The seal and all the other seals in our residential threshold seal range are made from extremely durable PVC material. It is completely odorless, so it won’t make your garage stink at all, it is also UV stable which means that it won’t be discolored by excessive sunlight in warmer areas. Unlike rubber garage door threshold seals, it will not crack or split and will always maintain its original shape on the floor.
Additionally, we are committed to being environmentally friendly and our products reflect that and this garage door threshold seal is no different. It is fully recyclable so when you are moving or have no use for it anymore you can be sure that the material will be used elsewhere and not just burned.

Installation
How to Measure Your Garage Door Before Installation
The one thing that is of paramount importance before you choose to buy any of the products you see on our site is measurements. It is best to be thorough to ensure you get the right size first time. Below we will talk about how to measure your garage door to select the best garage door threshold for your garage door.
How to Choose the Correct Threshold Seal Height
All you need to do to pick the correct height of the seal is to measure the largest gap between the garage door and floor. This is best done by measuring the gap in several places as it may vary across the width of the garage door, and you may have a garage that has a ½” gap on one side and a 1-inch gap on the other. Which would indicate that a 1” would be what you need at minimum.
When you have found the largest gap, you can then pick out the ideal seal for you. Because the seals range from ¼” all the way to 2” of height you have a lot of choice when it comes to sealing the gap. In addition to the height of any gap underneath your garage door, you would also need to consider the volume of water that you require protection from as the height of the threshold will protect against that level of standing water. So if you suffer from a lot of heavy torrential rain one of the larger seals is probably going to be more suitable for your needs.
If you do decide to purchase a larger threshold seal, then you can easily fit a taller threshold but just keep in mind that you should set it back slightly away from the door. This will allow the garage door to close without any modifications.
How to Choose the Correct Length for Your Garage
The other thing that is important to measure before purchasing is the length of threshold seal you will need. The way to do this is quite simple, all you will need to do is measure the width of the garage door from left to right. This will help inform you on which of the lengths you will need to select.
Because we have so many different lengths you can choose from, you can be sure that you will find the exact length you need. You will need the seal to be slightly longer than the width of the door (around 1 ½” each side) to notch it around the door frame or garage door tracks. You can cut it down with a hacksaw, sharp knife, or scissors depending on the material used.
