Maintaining a garage door is integral to keeping your garage door fully functional and usable for years to come. Maintaining your garage door properly can also help your home stay more energy efficient and avoid issues such as pests, damp and debris from entering under your garage door. We talk you through how to maintain your garage door properly and why it is important.
Wherever you use your garage for, whether it is a place to store your car or a place to store all of the family junk accumulated over the years, garage door maintenance is key. A well-maintained garage door can prevent damp from entering into your garage whether that is through flood water entering under your garage door or general damp caused by rain and wet weather conditions.
If you use your garage for more than just storage, proper maintenance is key. Even if your garage is simply a space to store unused items, damp and dust can damage your belongings if gaps in your garage door are left unfixed.
In order to keep your garage door functioning properly, you should make sure you check your garage door rollers at least twice a year for any wear and tear or issues as well as replacing them every five to seven years to keep your door in top condition.
When it comes to caring for your garage door, it is also important to clean the garage door itself frequently to prevent a build up of dirt and dust that may affect the usage of the door. This is easily done using warm water and soap and scrubbing both the door and rollers with a non-abrasive cloth. It is best to avoid power washing as this can cause damage to the garage door. If you have a wooden garage door, it is important to ensure this is properly treated and the condition checked at least twice a year with any splits treated with wood filler.
When it comes to maintaining your garage door properly, one of the most important parts of this is using the right garage door seal. There are a range of garage door seals to fit your specific door type and which parts of the garage door you wish to seal. Storm seal spray, for example, is a fantastic way to seal any leaking joints or sections of your garage door windows to prevent water from leaking into your garage.
One of the best ways to prevent damage and wear and tear to your garage door is to protect it against anything the weather can throw at it. A garage door threshold seal such as a rubber floor seal is a great way to stop water from entering under your garage door as well as other elements such as dust, leaves and pests which can all work to damage the contents of your garage.
Over time, your garage will inevitably start to show signs of wear and tear, including at the sides and top of your garage door where they meet the walls. After time, it may be worth replacing the seals in order to keep your garage watertight and prevent any further wear or damage occurring to your garage door. Garage door multi seals are a simple way to seal the edges of your garage door in order to prevent water or dust ingress in your garage.
