6 Ways to Winterize Your Garage

The frightful winter weather does not have to make its way into your garage and house. It is

important for you to include your garage in the scheduled maintenance, which is carried out

for other parts of your home as the seasons change. This is because your garage door is the

largest entryway into your home and can, thus, account for the biggest source of leaks into

your home.

As you continue readying the rest of your home for the winter ahead, ensure both your

garage door and space are ready to face the harsh weather ahead, without costing

yourselves an extra penny in heating bills.

• Minimize infiltration of air

Check for gaps, cracks, and worn-out weather-stripping throughout your garage door.

Exterior wall cracks can be filled using masonry sealer or weather-resistant caulk. Every so

often, replace your weather stripping, easily available at your local garage store in Oklahoma

City. Make sure that the weather stripping are not interfering with the open-close

mechanism.

• Cover exposed pipes

Having a burst and exposed water pipe is the easiest way to increase your heating issues. Use

foam or plastic pipe wrap to cover exposed pipes. Alternatively, you can wrap old towels or

newspapers around them and secure using duct tape. Do this, before the temperatures take

a dip.

• Insulated garage doors

If you are due for replacement or just want extra efficiency, consider replacing your old door

with an insulated garage door. These doors have polyurethane or polystyrene layer running

through the core for thermal efficiency and reduction in heat loss. There are many options of

insulated doors available in Oklahoma City.

• Bent or loose hinges

If there are any worn-out bearings or wheels or loose and bent shafts and/or hinges, these

will affect you garage door’s functionality in maintaining warm conditions during the winter.

Contact your garage door repair expert in Oklahoma City to deal with any worn down parts

for maximum efficiency.

• Debris on tracks

Get rid of any build-up on your garage door tracks – dust, grease, or any debris. Also, check

for loose screws on hinges and any rust build-ups. These should be gotten rid of. Take the

time to clean the door itself, as you inspect for anything that needs tune-up and call experts

to do that for you.

• Organization

Rearrange the garage space and box up any tools that you will not be using until the spring

season is back again. Ensure you have arranged the place well, you will be able to see any

cracks and spaces that need proofing as you do.

A lot of heat can be lost to the garage if there is no proper care taken to ensure proper

insulation ahead of the dropping winter temperatures.
