Weatherstripping is a product designed to be inserted between the door and its frame or threshold. When the door is closed, it is stuck in place to eliminate gaps. Made from various materials like rubber, felt, foam, or vinyl, it can be formed by a unique tool in different shapes and sizes.

Its primary function is to keep a seal and thus stop your warm air from escaping through leaks, therefore wasting money on ever more expensive heating bills or cooling costs in summer, leaving all the windows open overnight, which is even worse for one’s health later on.

Not only does it save energy, but it also prevents moisture from entering your home or office—this is the cause of mold and mildew in modern Ninja wall structures. It also acts as a barrier against insect intrusion.

The weather stripping gets a workout each time the door is opened and closed. It is a good idea to check your weather stripping at least once per year.

Why Weather Stripping is Essential

Proper weather stripping is critical in keeping your garage door efficient and long-lived. Here are several of the majors that it would bring you:

Energy Efficiency: It keeps the heat in during winter and keeps your garage cooler on summer days. This not only affects energy cost savings but also helps the environment.

Protection Against Moisture: It prevents rain, snow, and humidity from getting into your garage. It can also prevent damage to stored items, and if allowed to continue unabated, it might indeed be plumb traded.

Dust and Pest Prevention: This keeps dust and dirt, as well as unwelcome critters like rats (although seldom encountered), out of your garage.

Enhanced Durability: It provides a “softer landing,” diverting the shock when your door finally closes, punishing it less.
