Installing garage door weatherstripping is a great way to keep your garage door insulated and protected from the elements. It can also help keep your garage cooler in the summer.

To install the new weather stripping, remove the existing weatherstripping, measure the garage door’s perimeter, and cut strips accordingly. Place the base of the weather stripping flat against the door frame, slide it upward, and move it towards the door. Space the nails approximately 8 to 18 inches apart and measure the height of the garage door from the top to the floor.
