Why Do I Need a Weather Seal?

Why Do I Need a Weather Seal?

Some people procrastinate on fixing any malfunctions in their garage because they prioritize other areas of their house instead.  The problem with that, though, is that the garage takes up a large space of your house and can affect the rest of your house, so it shouldn’t be ignored.  One of the easiest, yet overlooked, updates to make is putting weather seals over any cracks in your garage door.  Keep reading on to find out what the most important things that weather seals protect against are.  (Related topics: garage doors Bedfordgarage doors Sleepy Hollowgarage doors Somers)

Weather

If your garage door has cracks in it, it allows the outside weather conditions to enter your house.  Especially in the cold winters in New York, it’s important to keep your house warm.  If your garage is freezing cold, it’s harder to regulate the temperature of your entire house, and it may cause you to pay more on heating bills.  In addition, it will allow the rain to enter your garage, which could ruin any boxes that you have stored in there.

Dirt

While wind and rain are entering your garage, dirt will be pushed there as well.  No matter how many times you clean, if you have cracks in your garage door, the dirt will continue coming.

Critters

The worst consequence of them all, critters!  Critters will seek shelter in your garage, going through your trash and probably ending up in your main house, as well.  Bugs, who are also seeking warmth and food, will go into your garage and lay eggs.
