Garage door seals are objects that a person may use to provide protection to his or her garage from inclement weather, or to enhance the garage itself; for example, it may make the garage feel more comfortable, especially if the person needs to work in his or her garage often. Sealing the garage will stop any air from getting inside, which will keep the temperature at a base that will make everyone who dwells inside of the garage happy. Thus, garage door seals can be especially useful to people who inhabit their garages often, wanting to protect the atmosphere from differing temperatures.

Below are simple and effective steps on how a person can go about sealing his or her garage. In most cases, it can be accomplished easily with just one person.

Step 1: Gather the appropriate materials for the task: Kit containing garage sealing items, a pencil, water and soap, and a utility knife.

Step 2: Designate where exactly you are going to seal off the door; next, clean the immediate area around the door's opening. The garage door will need to be opened for this entire process, so make sure a day is chosen when the weather will not interfere.

Step 3: Read the instruction manual that came with your kit well and get the threshold prepared. If there is anything that does not make immediate sense within the manual, research it or re-read the text. The manual should tell you how to "size the threshold"; follow these instructions well. You may need to trim the threshold down to a size that fits your garage door's requirements using a utility knife.

Step 4: Try out the threshold. Once the area is cleaned to satisfaction, place the threshold down so that you can test the seal. Adjust the threshold to form a "tight" seal.

Step 5: Using your pencil, trace the inner and outer parts of the threshold on the floor of the garage.

Step 6: Take out the threshold.

Step 7: Look inside the kit that you purchased and find glue or some adhesive-type of fluid. Place the adhesive between the pencil marks that you marked earlier.

Step 8: Set up your threshold by putting it onto the glue very carefully, but simultaneously you should push down on it to ensure that it sticks effectively.

Step 9: Close the garage manually, making sure that it fits in place.

Step 10: Give the glue time to dry (i.e., fifteen to twenty-four hours, usually).

Step 11: Enjoy your garage seal!
