vfrdave Posted September 3, 2020 Share Posted September 3, 2020 I put some angled steel at the car door thresholds of my garage to create a rebate in the floor for the door to seal in to. Unfortunately the guys that put the floor in didn't ensure the steel was level. I now have a gap underneath some of my garage door which I wish to rectify. Any suggestions what I could build up the steel with that will weather the elements and car traffic. Area in question can be seen in picture to the right of yellow mark. Thanks in advance.

ProDave Posted September 3, 2020 Share Posted September 3, 2020 Is that a roller door? Rather than "fix" the issue on the floor, how about a D shaped rubber seal on the bottom of the door that will squash down onto the floor and take up the irregularities? My roller door came with such a strip attached and it works very well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My roller door came with such a strip attached and it works very well. It is a sectional door and there is already a rubber strip on the bottom of it. It won't compress enough in the middle to allow for the irregularity at the side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vfrdave Posted September 3, 2020 Author Share Posted September 3, 2020 Was thinking maybe to use something like this product https://silverhook.co.uk/filler/Big-Boy-Filler-Metal-250-ml-250ml But have no experience of it. Would it be suitable as a build up medium? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dpmiller Posted September 3, 2020 Share Posted September 3, 2020 would the steel bend up a touch? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Punter Posted September 3, 2020 Share Posted September 3, 2020 Yes, some car body filler would work. Paint it and the metal with some black metal paint and it will be your guilty secret. Are you putting an ACO along the front? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think I need an ACO as there will be a slight ramp to meet the threshold. Grounds finishes not decided yet though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wozza Posted September 3, 2020 Share Posted September 3, 2020 (edited) You can get rubber / plastic / aluminium strips that fit across the floor to provide a sealing edge. Search google for garage door seals. https://www.garadry.com/blogs/news/garage-door-weather-seals-explained Edited September 3, 2020 by wozza Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
