Title: Save Money on Your Electricity Bill by Installing a Garage Door Floor Seal

Because it’s in the nature of any garage to be quite messy and dirty, it leaves a welcoming message to reptiles and rodents.  Garage door floor seals help prevent insects, snakes, rodents, dirt, snow, rain to enter. If you have a sloped driveway or an uneven garage floor and water is seeping under your garage door, the door seal adds a 1/2" tall barrier to the garage floor.

 

The garage door seal products are quite inexpensive can last as long as the life of your home. Garage door seals are energy efficient especially when you have a heated garage. But even if the garage isn’t heated, the efficiency of energy is still vital. Usually the garage is built right next to another part of your home. If the garage is not properly sealed, then the cold inside the garage will suck the warmth right out of the room next door and at the same time drive up your electricity cost. The garage door seal will also help keep the garage to stay cooler during the summer months.  Proper insulation in a garage ensures the most optimal temperature inside, which makes it easier to start the car even if the temperature outside is below freezing point.

 

The garage seal may be used with any kind of door; wooden door, roll up doors, walk through doors, steel door or fiberglass doors.  The Tsunami Seal® will keep your garage in top shape and can also extend the life lifespan of your garage door.  With the Tsunami Seal® system, you get a complete kit, which includes the Door Seal, Liquid Nails Polyurethane Adhesive, a metal caulking gun and color instructions.  Everything is included in the kit.  Even if you are an “unhandy man”, you will find that this is very easy to install.

 

Instructions for Installation:

 

What’s very important to remember is to mount the garage door seal on an untreated concrete floor and make sure the floor is very dry and clean prior installation.  Adhesive may not bond to painted, epoxy treated and other treated surfaces.  Adhesive must be applied at temperatures above 40 Fahrenheit (5 degrees Celsius).  All dirt must be completely removed from the area where you will install the door seal.  For best results, it is recommended to use rubbing alcohol to clean the area prior to installation.

 

In order to help the door seal lay flat during the installation, re-roll the door seal in the opposite direction, starting at the center of the coil.  Lay the door seal down on the concrete, with ramp area positioned towards the inside of the garage.  Next close the garage door from the inside of the garage. Then, slide the door seal under the garage door towards the street until you achieve a snug fit.  If the door seal needs to be shortened or cut to fit, use a hacksaw or a utility knife.  Use a pencil or chalk and draw a line alongside the door seal on the concrete.  Next, move the door seal to expose the garage floor, between lines.

 

Apply the adhesive to the floor, in three ¼” beads.  Apply one bead down the center and the other two beads 1/2” in from the outer edge.  Carefully position the door seal between the lines on the concrete.  Firmly press the door seal into position. Excess adhesive can be wiped clean with mineral spirits or toluene.  Next, close the garage door to maintain continuous pressure on the door seal for 24 hours, while the adhesive is bonding.  You can get purchase the Tsunami Seal® garage door seal kit at Garageaccessoriesrus, which also comes with a lifetime warranty.  The Tsunami Seal® garage door seals come in black, brown and gray, to match the color scheme of your home.
