Fitting instructions

All work is undertaken at your own risk.

It is important to follow instructions carefully! (Must be fitted by an adult over the age of 18)

The Weather Stop is suitable to fit with a manual or automatic...

  • Up and over garage door
  • Side hinged garage door
  • Roller garage door
  • Industrial roller shutter door
  • Sectional garage door
  • Industrial sectional garage door

PREPARATION

Surface must be clean, dry and free from dust, oil or grease. We do not recommend the Weather Stop floor seal to be fitted on loose concrete or gravel floor. If the concrete surface is painted we recommend you use a wire brush on the area where the floor seal will be fitted.

TOOLS REQUIRED

  • Tape measure
  • Hacksaw or Stanley knife
  • Pencil
  • Straight edge

Step One

Measure the garage opening
Open the garage door and measure the overall width of the opening.

Allow approximately 40mm (1½ inches) overhang to allow the floor seal to be notched back around the door frame.

Then cut the floor seal length to size.

Step Two

Mark the notch area Remove the notch area

Position the floor seal so that when the garage door closes the hump would be behind the garage door.

The larger flap goes under the door.

Mark with a pencil were the floor seal needs to be notched back. This will allow the floor seal to be positioned correctly behind the door and will create a good seal around the frame.

With a hack saw or Stanley knife notch back the floor seal on both ends.

Step Three

Measure the garage opening

From inside the garage, with the door closed, push the floor seal up to the back of the door with the hump touching the door.

Mark along the back edge of the floor seal with a pencil or suitable marker.

Step Four

Mark two parallel lines

Open the door and mark a line along the front edge of the floor seal.

Remove the floor seal and mark two parallel lines approximately 10mm inside the existing lines then mark a zigzag line in the middle of them.

Step Five

Apply the sealant

Using the Soudaflex 40 FC 310ml black sealant supplied. Apply the sealant on the floor following the pencil lines created. Recommended application temperature +5°C to 35°C.

Step Six

Apply the seal

Starting from one side, place the floor seal on the sealant and press firmly downwards. Continue along the rest of the seal, ensuring good contact at all points.

Remove any excess sealant from the sides with a cloth.

Step Seven

Allow 24 hours before driving over the floor seal.

Please note: Roller and sectional garage doors fitted with remote control systems may need adjustment of the sensitivity setting if the door bounces when it closes on the floor seal.
Please take due care and attention when stepping over the Weather Stop floor seal at all times.
