What size to order, suitable types of door, surfaces, and product installation
GaraDry® supplies the largest range of garage door threshold seals on the market, ranging from 1/2" to 2" high. This is because of the size of the gap that needs sealing varies from one garage door to the next. The height you require depends on a) th
Our garage door thresholds have been designed to be durable and can be safely driven over with many domestic vehicles. If you require something more heavy-duty, our commercial door thresholds are constructed of aluminum and can withstand much heavier
GaraDry's garage door thresholds can be used on both manual and automatic up-and-over, sectional, roller shutter and (outward opening) side-hinged garage doors. They are also suitable for use on commercial roller shutters. In addition to this, our th

Our garage door thresholds should be installed behind the garage door, so that the door closes against the seal. This will create the best seal along the full width of the garage door, and prevent water and other debris from being blown underneath. F

How long our GaraDry® adhesive & sealant takes to dry will depend on a number of factors, including temperature, humidity, etc. For this reason, we recommend leaving the threshold for 24 hours or overnight before driving over it to ensure the adhesiv
Due to the threshold being installed tight behind the garage door, it will close along the front of the threshold seal rather than on the apex. This means it will never be too high and it should not impact the closing/opening mechanism. The extra hei
We do not have any pre-made corner sections but you can cut the threshold seal at a 45 degree angle and join the seal together using the included GaraDry adhesive to create a watertight corner. This can also be done with the commercial aluminum seals

If you have an uneven gap across the length of the door e.g. no gap on the right, and a 1" gap on the left, you can seal this by using one of our flood barriers, the 1 1/2" high and 2" high. These flood barriers have a ramp design which allows them t
The residential seal is designed to be installed tight to the back of the garage door so it can create a watertight seal. If there is a concrete lip behind the door there will not be enough space for it to be installed there. In this situation there
