Door Seal Trade Coil
The GaraDry (1" High) garage door threshold seal coil has been designed to form a watertight seal between the garage door and the floor. The threshold will also prevent leaves, dust and debris from being blown under the garage door, thus ensuring a clean and dry environment.
What Type Of Doors Can It Be Used On
This 1" High garage threshold flood seal coil can be used on all types of domestic and commercial doors, including up-and-over, sectional, roller shutter, and side-hinged doors. The threshold can be safely driven over with most vehicles.
What Material Is The Seal Made From
Using high quality and long-lasting PVC material that is also fully recyclable, our thresholds are durable, flexible and eco-friendly. The material is odorless, UV stable, and will not decay or lose color with prolonged exposure to water or sunlight.
Unlike seals that are made from rubber, the plastic material will not become brittle and crack over time and will maintain its original, extruded shape.

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.
