Garage Door Seals & Weatherproofing Perth
Bottom rubbers and rails, side weather seals, and the jambs and flashings that finish the opening — including Timberlook finishes. Seals are what keep Perth's wind-driven rain, dust and vermin out of a garage.
Choosing the right seal
The bottom rubber is the seal that does most of the work and the one that perishes first. Perth sun hardens it, and once it has gone brittle it stops conforming to the slab, which is when water starts tracking under the door in winter storms.
An uneven gap along the bottom of a closed door is not always the seal. If the gap is wider at one end than the other, the door is sitting out of level — usually a cable or spring issue — and a new rubber will not fix it.
Side seals matter more than people expect on exposed western and southern elevations. They also cut down the amount of fine sand that gets blown into a garage, which is the thing that shortens roller and bearing life.
Jambs and flashings finish the reveal around the opening and are available in a Timberlook finish to match timber-look door and window trims.

Frequently Asked Questions
Start with the bottom rubber — if it is hard, cracked or flattened it has stopped sealing. If the gap is uneven across the width, the door itself is out of level and that needs correcting first.
There is no fixed interval, but Perth sun and heat are hard on rubber. Check the bottom seal each year before winter and replace it once it no longer springs back when pressed.
A woodgrain-look finish on the jambs, flashings and pelmets so the trim around the opening matches timber-look doors and window surrounds instead of standing out as plain colorbond.
