What is Weatherstripping and What Are Its Benefits?
Weatherstripping is the process of sealing the gaps around your commercial garage doors to protect your facility from the elements, improve energy efficiency, and enhance overall comfort. By installing weatherstripping, you prevent external weather conditions—such as rain, wind, and temperature fluctuations—from negatively impacting your building’s interior.
Weather Seals for Commercial Garage Doors
In the summer, weatherstripping helps to retain cool air inside, reducing the strain on your HVAC system. During colder months or the rainy season, it helps keep out moisture and cold drafts, while also helping to maintain a consistent internal temperature. This not only improves comfort but also helps to reduce energy consumption, lowering your operating costs.
Benefits of Weatherstripping for Garage Doors
Adding weatherstripping to your commercial or industrial garage door provides several key benefits:
-
Energy Efficiency: Properly installed, it can significantly reduce energy loss, ensuring that your heating and cooling systems work more efficiently.
-
Protection from the Elements: Weatherstripping helps to keep rain, snow, and dirt outside, preventing damage to the interior of your commercial space and the items stored within.
-
Reduced Wear and Tear: By sealing the bottom of your garage door, you can prevent direct contact with the ground, reducing wear on both the door and the concrete or pavement beneath it. This helps extend the lifespan of your commercial garage door and prevents costly repairs.
-
Cost-Effective: The cost of installing or replacing weather seals is relatively low compared to the long-term savings in energy efficiency and the increased longevity of your garage door system.
Whether you need to install new or replace worn-out seals, the benefits far outweigh the investment.
