| 1405517 | 2015-07-28 06:03:00 | Anyone knows where can I buy this garage door top /side weather seal: 6626 Rang a few garage door companies and it seems that we don't use top seal (for garage doors) in New Zealand. Nothing in Bunnings or Mitre 10. Googled and found that it is very common in the USA and UK. Amazon and eBay all have them but shipping costs is too high - from the US, of course. |

| 1405518 | 2015-07-28 06:15:00 | what sort of garage door? | tweak'e (69) | ||
| 1405519 | 2015-07-28 06:18:00 | hmm, you really don't see these vinyl top and side seals around, what are you trying to achieve? Maybe a jamb edge brush seal could be used? I think thats more common here but I am sure those garage places would have suggested other types of seals that you could have used. That vinyl seal could possibly be bought through thenile.co.nz or fishpond.co.nz, seems they use to get it, but both show currently unavailable. Otherwise ebay would have it and could get it sent to you. Cheers, KK |

| 1405521 | 2015-07-28 06:25:00 | I've checked a few of my friends' and neighbours' garage doors and to my surprise, they are all without weather seals on top. I thought mine is the only one without the top seal. The opening gaps are all around 10~20 mm wide when the door is fully closed. DIY instructions are available in Youtube, but they are not available in NZ. Amazon and eBay have plenty of them but the shipping cost is too high - higher than the actually stuff itself. |

| 1405523 | 2015-07-28 07:53:00 | Try using the bath edge seal for tiling, looks very similar to that only not in a roll but lengths, definitely sold at Mitre10 saw some today while looking at another product See this (www.google.co.nz ttp%25253A%25252F%25252Fwww.archiexpo.com%25252Fpr od%25252Fsalag%25252Fproduct-94882-938776.html&source=iu&pf=m&fir=5DxleljW0nkK6M%253A%252CIU5ICIyyH5v7bM%252C_&biw=1440&bih=800&usg=__xuXDR7gRMDgzzH0rxb3NItpFdek%3D&ved=0CCgQyjdqFQoTCLCtp8-e_cYCFWQdpgoddwwJUw&ei=rSa3VfCiEuS6mAX3mKSYBQ#imgrc=5DxleljW0nkK6M%3A&usg=__xuXDR7gRMDgzzH0rxb3NItpFdek%3D) | gary67 (56) | ||
| 1405524 | 2015-07-28 09:50:00 | Is there any special reason why we don't use top seals in New Zealand? | bk T (215) | ||
| 1405525 | 2015-07-28 10:20:00 | Maybe there's no need to keep our cars warm ? I understand if it's an attached garage and you go in and out a lot but mines a separate garage and I really don't care if there's a bit of draught and water doesn't tend to get in so I don't see the point. The garage has no insulation either. |

| 1405526 | 2015-07-28 10:47:00 | I have recently sealed the bottom of my garage door to stop oak leaves from a neighbour's tree from blowing in. I used a roll of rubber from Para Rubber, Wairau, which was 3mm or so thick, 5-6 cm wide and quite inexpensive. I chose to reinforce it with a wood lath, drilling through wood, rubber and the aluminium frame, then pop-riveting at regular intervals. I considered doing the same at the top of the door but got lazy and figured that if any oak leaves could climb that high they deserved to get in! So far none have made the trek. Cheers Billy 8-{) |
