Garage Door Weatherstrip
 

I've been searching for a while for a product to seal the bottom of my
Garage door to prevent rain ingress. Found an american product on the web
called stormshield but I've been unable to find a supplier here. Any one
have any ideas where I could buy or make up a similar thing?

Any help much appreciated!

To keep out leaves, dust and water(?), I have used those foam tubes used to
insulate water pipes. They slide/clip onto to the bottom of the door. They
compress on closing the up and over door.

I had exactly this problem 2 years ago!
I have a metal door which has a slot along the bottom with a thin
rubber strip running in it. This had got worn and split and could not
find any decent rubber seals.

I noticed a row of square holes along
the bottom inside of the door! Went to a decent tool shop and bought
some "captive nuts" which fitted in the holes perfectly.
I had some old strips of aluminium, put some holes in it and
bought a role of 60 by 4mm rubber, Sandwiched it between the door
and strip and it works a treat.

I live near Bristol and there is/was a firm which sold rubber sheeting in
the city centre.

I realise you may not have the same door construction but the principle
may be of help!

Thanks all, much appreciated. I've adopted Keith P's excellent and cheap,
pipe lagging solution at least till I find something better!

Cheers Keith

I pop-rivited some plastic damp-proof course material along the bottom of
the door.

Been in place 3 or more years and works a treat- good enough to seal but
free enough to let the electric door opener to work.
