Our team headed to Attwood, Melbourne for a garage door bottom seal replacement on a residential sectional panel lift door. The existing weather seal had been damaged by sand, dried out, and started to deteriorate. It also did not extend to both sides of the door, leaving gaps that allowed pests and debris into the garage.
A worn or damaged bottom seal is more than a cosmetic issue. Gaps under the door let in rain, dust, leaves, and pests like rats and mice. Over time, this can damage items stored in the garage and create hygiene problems.
Our technician removed the old seal and installed a new bottom track to accommodate a larger replacement. The original track was not wide enough for the upgraded seal, so fitting a new one was necessary to ensure a proper fit. The new bottom weather seal is larger than the original and extends all the way to both sides of the door, closing the gaps completely.
Attwood is in Melbourne’s northern suburbs, where dry summers and cold winters take a toll on rubber seals and weatherstripping. We recommend homeowners in Attwood and nearby suburbs like Westmeadows, Broadmeadows, and Meadow Heights check their door seals annually to prevent cracking and deterioration.
