GaraDry Garage Door Threshold Seal Kit 1-1/4 in. High 9.8 Fl. Oz. Capacity - Black
This garage door floor seal is exactly 1 and ¼” inches high and is our mid-range option between the largest and smallest sizes. It functions as a very effective water stopper and will be able to prevent any rainfall from making its way inside. Due to its height, it can also prevent any flooding damage that may occur during heavier storms.
What Exact Size Is This Particular Garage Door Floor Seal
This seal comes in the same exact width and height regardless of which length you pick, and it is 1¼” tall and 5” wide to be precise. There are plenty of lengths available in the drop-down menu above so you will be able to choose anything from 8’3” up to a staggering 33 feet. The threshold can be easily cut to length to fit the exact opening size you have. If you are needing something that is a bit taller as the gap under your garage door is significantly taller than 1¼” tall, you can check out our "Garadam" product which is the tallest garage door seal at 2" high.
How Does This Garage Door Floor Seal Function
The way our products within this category work is quite similar across the board. When the seal and the adhesive and sealant are bonded with the floor, it creates a seal which stops all water from coming into the garage. Due to its size, it will also block out any leaves, debris and dust that would try to make its way inside during windstorms.
The other applications for this product involve saving you some money on electricity bills by keeping the heat in the garage as it will be fully sealed up. Another way it can help is if you have a lot of mice and rat problems in your area it will stop them infesting as there will be no space that they can crawl through assuming the seal is formed properly.
What Materials Were Used To Make This Garage Door Floor Seal
Normally when you see this type of product online, they’re usually rubber garage door threshold seals, these will often become brittle and crack when exposed to sunlight and water. Our seals on the other hand are resistant to both, they are UV stable and therefore won’t split because of the sun and they won’t get discolored either. The same for water damage, it just wouldn’t happen due to the hydrophobic material used which will repel water. It is also an environmentally friendly product due to the PVC used, which is fully recyclable.
What Type Of Garage Doors Can This Garage Door Floor Seal Be Used With
The better question to ask would be, what type of garage door can it not go on. This threshold seal can go under any garage door, whether domestic or commercial and function well with any. This includes roller shutters, side-hinged, sectional and the classic up-and-over doors. All you will need to do is simply measure out your garage door to make sure that you order the length that will match it or surpass the length slightly and then cut it to the size you need.

How to Measure Your Garage Door Before Installation
The one thing that is of paramount importance before you choose to buy any of the products you see on our site is measurements. It is best to be thorough to ensure you get the right size first time. Below we will talk about how to measure your garage door to select the best garage door threshold for your garage door.
How to Choose the Correct Threshold Seal Height
All you need to do to pick the correct height of the seal is to measure the largest gap between the garage door and floor. This is best done by measuring the gap in several places as it may vary across the width of the garage door, and you may have a garage that has a ½” gap on one side and a 1-inch gap on the other. Which would indicate that a 1” would be what you need at minimum.
When you have found the largest gap, you can then pick out the ideal seal for you. Because the seals range from ¼” all the way to 2” of height you have a lot of choice when it comes to sealing the gap. In addition to the height of any gap underneath your garage door, you would also need to consider the volume of water that you require protection from as the height of the threshold will protect against that level of standing water. So if you suffer from a lot of heavy torrential rain one of the larger seals is probably going to be more suitable for your needs.
If you do decide to purchase a larger threshold seal, then you can easily fit a taller threshold but just keep in mind that you should set it back slightly away from the door. This will allow the garage door to close without any modifications.
How to Choose the Correct Length for Your Garage
The other thing that is important to measure before purchasing is the length of threshold seal you will need. The way to do this is quite simple, all you will need to do is measure the width of the garage door from left to right. This will help inform you on which of the lengths you will need to select.
Because we have so many different lengths you can choose from, you can be sure that you will find the exact length you need. You will need the seal to be slightly longer than the width of the door (around 1 ½” each side) to notch it around the door frame or garage door tracks. You can cut it down with a hacksaw, sharp knife, or scissors depending on the material used.
