Should I Be Concerned About Small Gaps Around My Garage Door?

Some homeowners may question whether it’s really that much of a concern about small gaps around the sides or bottom of their overhead garage or shop door.

The quick answer: Yes.

On first glance, it may not seem that important to see small openings around the door. But the fact is that air infiltration can cause significant problems in your garage or shop.

To put it another way — It’s time for you to Stop The Snirt!

Okay, first of all, what is snirt? Traditionally, it is the unsightly and messy combination of snow and dirt that can blow underneath or through the sides of your poorly-sealed overhead door.

In a broader sense, snirt also can be water/rain, leaves, bugs, mice, snow, grime and even snakes moving under your door or through the sides. Heat loss is also a major concern.

Check out the gap on your current overhead door to get an idea of the problem you are dealing with. Did you know that drafts can bring dirt, snow, ice, mud, plus heat and cooling loss through a space of 1/32nd of an inch? Bugs and spiders can creep through a space of only 1/16th of an inch. Mice can enter your garage area through a space the size of a pencil. It’s time to put a stop to all that infiltration.
