Rain Under Garage Doors.

[exlabman]

Hi me again,

After painting garage floor am finding that rain seems to pool under the door more.

I've a >2cm gap under the door. I was looking at either a lip strip on the floor or a rubber strip on the door.

Pics seem to suggest the rubber door strips go on the back of the door but wouldn't they be better on the front?

 

Which do people find more effective?

Thanks

David

if you had something like http://www.jaseals.co.uk/p-multi_seal_2.5m.htm i'd prob glue/screw to the bottom of the door so as the door came down the seal would touch the floor.

 

but i've not done it myself to be honest.

I have bought one of these

for my garage door but haven't fitted it yet, as the gap under the garage door varies from one side to the other. So can't say how successful it is yet

i just fitted strips of old carpet to the inside of a up and over door kept rain and drafts out

I get the odd pool of water if wind blows against door, I'm going to screw a strip of 5 x20mm galvanised flat bar to the floor on top of a bead of silicon.

 

I'll let you know if it works next year when I get round to it!

I used a length of industrial brush seal screwed to the bottom of my up and over door. It's the type that's fitted to roller shutter doors but works great on my door. It takes out any unevenness in the floor.

I used a number of 2' 6" standard door seals across the garage door. Seem to do a reasonable job - no water but the odd leaf or three still find their way in !! Picked the seals up many moons ago - very cheap in a B&Q sale - been working well for years.

Went for this in the end...

Enough for 2 doors and looks same as the jaseals one.

Will let you know how it goes.

 

Thanks

Silicon, good layer just behind the door, and it does the job. Worked for me a treat, no probs in 2 years
