About

Garage door water stripping is basically sealing the gaps between the garage door and the wall with special materials. These stripes are placed at the top, bottom and the side of the garage door and are available in different materials and textures depending on your needs.

you are probably asking yourself why is water stripping is important for you if you don't live in your garage, here why:

  1. Better insulation & weather protection
    In Arizona, the weather can be tricky. Most of the year. especially in Phoenix, it is extremely hot in the summer time, while you might have monsoons and storms with no advance preparation. In Flagstaff and Sedona, it can even snow during the winter. In order to protect your garage and its contents from extreme weather, we at 101 garage doors highly recommend sealing your garage door when you can. A well-sealed garage door prevents drafts in the winter time and keeps the garage cooler in the summer time, protecting your belongings.
  2. Lower energy costs
    Gaps around the garage door can lead to heat loss and drafts, making it harder to create a comfortable temperature inside your garage. Weather stripping helps keep the cold out and the warmth in, which can reduce your heating costs by improving the energy efficiency of your garage and home.
  3. Prevents Debris and Rodents
    Gaps around your garage door can be enough space to welcome bugs and pests into your garage, as well as dirt and leaves. Weather stripping your garage door will be a barrier, keeping your garage nice and clean and keeping your belongings safe from debris and bugs.
