A bottom astragal is an essential part of your garage door. Bottom astragal seals help you maintain your garage door and protect the items in your garage. Installing and maintaining a bottom seal is also a cost-effective solution for conserving energy.
The bottom astragal seal keeps water, debris and drafts out of your garage. Combined with seals on the top and sides of your garage door, the seal helps insulate your space. You’ll notice the difference when less warm air escapes during colder months and when your garage retains cool air during the summer.
Using bottom astragal helps lower any energy costs associated with heating and cooling your garage. Bottom astragal that conforms to uneven concrete has a more airtight seal, so pliable materials are the best options. Two of the most common astragal materials are rubber seals and vinyl seals. Both rubber seals and vinyl seals can sustain damage over time, and they must be replaced to avoid more significant problems.
notice the difference
Astragal seals show visible signs of wear after years of exposure. Environmental conditions, material and other factors affect how often you need to replace your bottom garage door seal. Harsh conditions like heavy rain, extreme cold and temperature fluctuations speed up the process. Fortunately, worn bottom seals present noticeable signs of needing repair or replacement.
You may need to look into garage door bottom seal services if you experience one of these six signs:
If you feel a draft, your bottom astragal seal is allowing air to pass through.
Seeing cracks and other damage means your seal is weathered from exposure and should be replaced.
If the garage’s temperature feels like the weather outside, you’re losing warm or cool air and the money it takes to run your heating and air conditioning unit.
When you see sunlight between the floor and your seal, it’s time to replace your bottom seal with new material that reaches the floor.
Moisture in your garage causes metal on or around your garage door to rust when the astragal seal stops working properly.

Definitely recommend! They installed a new garage door for us quickly at a reasonable price. They came back in the spring when we had trouble with our sensors and adjusted them for free. Would use them again.
I needed my garage door repaired in a hurry, and these guys wasted no time in getting out and getting it done! Fast, Professional and reasonable rates. I highly recommend Ingstrup.
Ingstrup Construction has done 2 garage jobs for me at 2 different houses. Both times Eric and his men were prompt, professional, and effective. I could tell right away that these guys know everything about garage doors. Eric explained the job and the costs clearly. He and his crew did excellent work. I am really happy with the outcomes. I call Eric if I have any problem with my garage doors or openers. Great work, fair price, honest man.
Chuck and Bill did an amazing job with my new Clopay door. They arrived when scheduled, and made short work of removing the old door and hardware. I now have a great-looking, quiet, and weatherproof door that I’m very satisfied with. 5 stars! Thank you!
When the spring on my garage door broke, I called Ingstrup Garage Door and Opener. I asked them to call me, and they called when I asked them to call. They arrived when they said they would and did a great job at a reasonable price. I would highly recommend them.
Highly recommend! They repaired my garage door within minutes when another company had quoted me to get a whole new door! As a female, I really appreciate them not trying to rip me off and answering all my questions so that I felt comfortable and satisfied! I wish every home repair was this painless! Can’t say enough good things about this experience!
A torsion spring snapped in super cold weather. Called Ingstrups, and someone fixed it on the same day. Reasonably priced. Great service. Thanks!
Two pleasant gentlemen that got my garage door back on track. They were quick and the same day service was a plus.
Chuck and Bill were professional and strove for quality, while still installing our garage doors relatively quickly.
Same day service, reasonably priced, courteous, professional. Excellent service, highly recommend.
