Garage Upgrade Door seal installation.

[@JoDaddysGarage]

If you like the video, and decide to order a kit, let the company know you saw this video. Thanks.

[@chrisward2713]

Hey I’m curious how well this deal has been working for you. I’m having some major moisture issues in my garage with my new roll up door. Do you think this would help?

[@JoDaddysGarage]

@@chrisward2713 Can't say for sure. It has definitely reduced air flow around the door.

[@jimd7855]

Ok, so now you have had this for a while, how is the seal working and is it keeping out the air?

[@JoDaddysGarage]

@@jimd7855 It's still doing the job. The only issue I've seen is the side that is in the sun, has some of the outer bristles curling a bit. Not enough to affect how they work though.

[@SmokerBBQ]

@@JoDaddysGarage Have you noticed any wear or daamge on the paint from the bristles?

[@elyadg]

I watched the manufactures demo video on this product but it's good to see it installed in a real-world application. This spring, Lord willing, I'm starting my garage project, a 22' by 22' . also will have a 16 by 8 roll-up like yours.

[@juanitoportillo9375]

Thank you for the information! Ive been dealing with trying to find a solution for all the dust and air that enters through the openings of my roll up garage doors. Very frustrating but thanks to this video memtech will be the first company i contact tommorrow!

[@Crowbar381]

Fantastic. I just purchased a dehumidifier for my garage, so I will look into getting these brushes for sure

[@zzyyxx123]

Thanks for the idea. My door came with rubber strips. Right now, I'm not sure how they are to be installed as the instructions do not mention the strips. But, I'm sure I will figure it out. Also, I plan to watch your video on installing a split HVAC system. I need that for my shop. Thanks again. Very helpful.

[@jeffalessi]

It would be interesting to use a thermal imaging detector and test the before and after temperature differences around the door perimeter to see how effective the brush seal is.

[@leonardgilbreath9004]

That's what they used in our truck shop and they worked great and in the winter and summer keepet the shop great good fix thumbs up.

[@GadgetReviewVideos]

Very informative, thanks for the video. I was also thinking about ordering the 2" brush with only a 1.5" gap. Was good to see how yours fit. Unfortunately I have a pad lock latch on one side to deal with also. The one thing you might want to do as a final touch ti wind that door spring a little tighter now, but make sure it doesn't go up to hot.

[@josephnadwodny154]

Thanks for the video I'm going to order a kit for my sheds roll up door.

[@Perogam]

Ill be doing this to the top of my roller door. Thanks for the video.

[@edwardupton3082]

Thank you for this info, very helpful.

[@shelliemiller5715]

Thank you for the video,hoping this product will take care of our problem

[@douglasknutsen]

Definitely ,100 % better than what it was .

[@tasmedic]

Very helpful video. Looks like all those brushes might increase wear on the door motor, or maybe even your arms though! Will the top brush leave vertical stripes on your door after a while? I had considered doing the same thing, but in the end, as I wasn't moving vehicles to and fro from my garage any more, I decided to buy a cheap and cheerful sliding glass patio door and fit that external to the roller door. This gives me top notch insulation and a second level of security. I left the roller door in place just to put off the thieves as it blocks their view into the garage and is another problem for them to deal with! It does look odd, but the aim was to improve insulation rather than aesthetics, so it is what it is..... It's also not much more expensive than buying brushes which only partially improve the insulation. Tip: If your screwdriver bit keeps jumping out of the screw as you tighten it, that should tell you something....

[@JoDaddysGarage]

The door is manually operated only. It does increase the load, but it also helps when I want the door part way open. I may only open the door once a week. The extra resistance holds it nicely. Not sure on the stripe.

[@tasmedic]

@@JoDaddysGarage Thanks for clarifying things. In your situation, I think I'd have fitted the brushes as you did. My door gets opened and closed a lot. Now I can leave the roller door up most of the time, and use the patio door for most of the in/out flow. Thanks again for replying. Thumbs up mate!

[@bigfoot442]

Was there a lot of resistance on raising & lowering after all three side were installed? My doors are 10'X10'. . .

[@JoDaddysGarage]

Initially it had resistance and it was a little hard to open but it didn’t stop me from rolling it up. All these years later the brushes are still doing their job.

[@bigfoot442]

Thanks!

[@z3m0s]

Hey Jo! Bit late to the video but if you're still around I was curious how this effected the movement of the door! I couldn't quite tell if it was just the way you rolled it up and down yourself, but it looked somewhat like the bristles gave it some significant resistance, I'm just a little worried because I have an electric garage door and I don't wanna blow the thing up as it struggles against my attempt to cool the place down haha thanks mate! Great vid, love from australia!

[@JoDaddysGarage]

I could feel some resistance, but I think it was because it was all new. You can adjust how tight you want the bristles to be to the door. The bristles did conform to the door and it was easier to open. I’m still happy with the product.

[@z3m0s]

@@JoDaddysGarage Thanks very much for the reply Jo! Definitely going to have to give this a try in my garage, I appreciate the good work, keep it up!

[@coobye]

Nice work. My street has become busy so I'm looking to seal up the top of the garage door. Do you think it would cut down noise at all?. Cheers.

[@JoDaddysGarage]

Maybe a little.

[@coobye]

@@JoDaddysGarage Cheers👍

[@Big_Mike72]

Great information video. Thanks for sharing.

[@lunchie80]

Top brush seal gives me issues with the motor. When closed, the brushes(70mm long to cover the gap) are just touching a 'hump' on the roller door. Then when open, the door is slightly larger in size obviously so it changes the angle it enters the door tracks, closing the gap significantly. This means the brush seal is squashed quite a bit and then reversing door motion means the initial start(and pushing the brushes back the other way) cause a significant shift in the door. It's often tripping the door motor on torque, OR it's actually caused the door to bind and jam requiring effort to free with 2 people. It's a long door(double garage) so the shift of the full seal length is a problem. Not sure what the solution is here. I'm height limited so can't do much with the physical door itself(can change tracks or roller height etc) I could add a strip to the door opening and drop the seal down a couple of inches to a point where door geometry changes less while open/closed, but will probably look awful.

[@glasgowscorsese]

Good Job. Now to see if they ship to the UK

[@nickmaas4467]

Getting ready to do this myself!

[@wadechandler5153]

Interesting product. I wonder how those will stand up because those rubber seals on the flat doors get brittle and fail over time too. Maybe even on a traditional flat door these might be a good choice.

[@JoDaddysGarage]

Check their products. I posted a link in the description.

[@blackmacgyver9965]

Thanks for the info jo . I'm going with memtech also and there local for me . Told them I seen your video and they remember 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽

Thanks for mentioning me to them. I appreciate it.

[@txsviking]

That will definitely make a difference.

[@elsdp-4560]

THANK YOU...for sharing. Enjoyed.

[@JeremyWickham]

I have been looking for something like this for years. Thank you for the idea. I will be sure to let them know I saw this video when I purchase this. One other question. Did you happen to "insulate" the door on the inside to help keep the heat out? The sun beats down on my door and it's pretty much an oven next to it. Thanks again! Cheers!

[@JoDaddysGarage]

Thanks. I did not insulate the inside of the door.

[@WestCoastScrapperRN]

@@JoDaddysGarage Hello, I just found a great product for my door, which is exactly the same as yours. It is a reflective barrier that attaches with magnets and still allows the door to roll up...it's like super thick, indestructible aluminum foil and it cuts the radiant heat transfer by 97%!!! I actually got the roll here in the states, but I'm getting the magnet strips from Australia. They say is will cut the temperature in my shop down my 15 degrees in the summer and keep the heat from transferring out in the winter because it's double sided. You might look into that!! I also just had brushes installed on my door...it sure helps keep the bugs out of my studio!!:)

[@twoseas123]

@@WestCoastScrapperRN can you post where you got the aluminum foil from ?

[@z3m0s]

@@WestCoastScrapperRN Please tell me the name of this magical reflective stuff! I'm desperately in need of it here in Aus, I could cook an egg on my garage door I swear it!

[@RussellGropp]

thank you very much

[@jayeme1483]

I like it . Maybe some car wax on the door surface would reduce friction and help it seal and last .

[@aserta]

Have done that, but i've used surf board wax.

[@dawsonmobley]

Thanks for the vid, I just ordered a set for my roll-up doors. Do they add any noticable resistance to rolling the door up and down? My doors are manual.

[@JoDaddysGarage]

I did notice more resistance. Not bad though.

[@travcon8]

Have the same issue. Do these doors let out a ton of air? I don't ever really feel much air getting passed the area where the track is. I bought this kit too, but haven't installed it yet.

[@JoDaddysGarage]

They can. I added air conditioning, so I wanted to keep the air from escaping if possible.

[@travcon8]

@@JoDaddysGarage same here. For some reason it heats good, but is having trouble cooling now that's it summer.

[@JoDaddysGarage]

@@travcon8 I added spray foam insulation to the roof. Huge difference.

[@KRobTip4z]

Did it make the doors more difficult to open? Mine did when I installed on my doors

[@JoDaddysGarage]

It did, but that is to be expected.

[@monaali1898]

Going thru same issue need it rodent safe

[@agentx250]

Definitely better than nothing, but you're probably losing close to as many therms through the door as you were losing from that gap. I'd say a door upgrade is likely in order at some point.

[@LetsFixIT]

nice, good ideal

[@benjaminstiles2344]

How did the door coatings hold up? Does it scratch it?

[@JoDaddysGarage]

Haven't had any issues.

[@antoniomartinez6958]

Great job my friend

[@CK-wo1ly]

did you notice a difference in air flow/temperature after installation?

[@JoDaddysGarage]

Mostly air flow. But some temperature difference as well.

No. I let the brush do the work. It really helped.
