Specialized fasteners are essential for attaching weather sealing to garage doors. These fasteners, typically galvanized or stainless steel, are designed to secure the rubber or vinyl stripping firmly to the door frame or panels. For example, they might have a wide, flat head to hold the stripping securely without tearing it and a shank designed to penetrate wood or metal effectively.
Proper sealing prevents drafts, moisture infiltration, and pest intrusion, contributing to energy efficiency and protecting stored items. Historically, simple nails were used, but advancements in materials and design have led to more durable and effective fastening solutions. This has improved the longevity of weather seals and minimized the risk of damage to both the stripping and the garage door itself.
