How to stop the snow getting into the garage door edges?
My garage door is so tight with the framework. There is probably 1/2 inch between the frame and the door. The door it has been 18 years old, is a vinyl, insulated type with the traditional 6 squares on each section that bends.Is there a particular weatherstripping that could fill this gap and still allow the door to go up and down without catching on it. I would assume it would need to be placed on the inside frame of the door rather than the outside for appearance sake.
Any one can assit me? The snow came in one side for several weeks and we have a tiny snowdrift inside our garage.
Answer:
Go to your local garage door dealer and get what we call residential weatherstrip, it is a vinyl blocking about 2 inches wide, and 1/2 inches thick with a rubber flap on one end 1 inch long,, you nail it up flush with the edge of your door frame with the flapup against your door, that will seal it up for you. You can also get it in colors to match your door also to make it blend in better also..
