Weatherstripping

At Grove City Garage Door Inc. we carry all of the colors of weatherstripping for every color of door available with Clopay, Mid-America, and DoorLink. We can match any color of door with weatherstripping, so there is no need to paint weatherstripping.

If you are unfamiliar where the weatherstripping is located on your garage door, go outside and face your garage door. The weatherstripping is attached to the garage door frame around the garage door.
In the above picture the garage door is white and the weatherstripping is an almond color, the reason the weatherstripping is an almond color is the windows in this house are also almond colored. So we matched the weatherstripping with the rest of the exterior coloring of the home.

Weatherstripping provides protection around the garage door to help keep the elements out of the garage. Without weatherstripping, the wind would come around the sides of the garage door. We install each piece of weatherstripping around the garage door by securely nailing each piece six inches apart with penny nails.

There is also weatherstripping on the bottom of every garage door that can be damaged over the years by the weather. Bottom weatherstripping can become damaged from being stuck to the ground during the winter months when there is ice, and can also become damaged by mice. If you see light under your garage door from the inside while the door is closed, this could mean two things: either the garage door is out of adjustment or the weatherstripping needs replaced. We carry a large roll of bottom weatherstripping on our truck for repairs, so just ask if we are doing a repair to your door if you need your weatherstripping replaced. We will check it out for you while we are there! If you are seeing light under your garage door, have us come out for a service call to check the door adjustment or the weatherstripping!
