Question:
What techniques or products have people used successfully to seal their
up-and-over garage doors?
Google turns-up rubber strips, brushes and a rubber bump that you
stick to the floor - which ones work in practice? What about the top and
the sides?
Answer:
I've done this successfully on all four sides using vinyl strip approx 60mm
wide.
I cut strips of hardwood approx. 25mm wide and 8mm thick and treated them
with two coats of exterior varnish. Two strips are used for each edge.
One strip was then fastened to the door with stainless steel self tapping
screws (this will vary according to the door). The other was fastened to
it, with the vinyl strip in between and projecting at the edge, using
stainless steel screws.
The strip itself is not quite flat but has a ridge at the centre and makes an
angle in the two halves of about 160 degrees.
On the top and sides, it is arranged to push gently against the frame and at
the bottom it brushes the floor.
