A lot of people have asked and inquired about weatherstripping and they are wondering why it is important to get it right. Well, my explanation is very simple, weatherstripping aids in the insulation capabilities of your exterior doors.
When you purchase a garage door, always make sure that you also get weatherstripping. It could be done by the supplier or do it yourself. If you notice that your old weatherstripping has deteriorated, it is advisable to replace it. But how do you choose and buy the right weatherstripping items from the store? Here are some tips:
A common mistake that homeowners usually commit is that they only order weatherstripping that is exactly of the same size as the door’s width and length.
Always make room for errors and adjustments so order a little more than your requirement. If you only need to replace a segment of your door’s strips, then measure that area that needs to be installed with weatherstripping and order a little over that measurement.
Standard retainers should go with standard inserts and those that use large inserts should have large inserts as well. These are the basics in installation that you need to be aware of.
Many people neglect this but if your area gets really cold during the winter season, you might want to use a weatherstripping material that will keep the cold out and retain the heat inside the house.
