This assembly is a collection of components designed to close the gap between the lower edge of a garage door and the floor. It typically includes a flexible sealing strip, often made of rubber or vinyl, and a retainer or track that attaches to the door’s bottom. An example of its application involves installing the unit onto a garage door to prevent drafts, pests, and water from entering the garage.
The implementation of such a system offers several advantages. It enhances energy efficiency by minimizing air leakage, potentially lowering heating and cooling costs. Furthermore, it acts as a barrier against unwanted intrusion by rodents, insects, and debris, contributing to a cleaner and more secure garage environment. Historically, rudimentary methods were used to seal this gap; modern iterations offer improved durability and effectiveness compared to these earlier solutions.
