Peter is a licensed builder with over 45 years of experience in the construction industry. In 2012, his expertise in energy efficient construction inspired the invention of ThermaDoor Premium garage door insulation - the original purpose made garage door insulation in Australia.
Most people think of insulation when it comes to making their garage more comfortable – but sealing the door is just as important. A properly sealed garage door does more than stop drafts; it protects your home, boosts energy efficiency, and can even improve bushfire safety when you choose flame retardant, Australian made garage door seals.
Unsealed garage doors let in hot air during summer and cold drafts in winter. That air quickly transfers into your home, making it harder to keep temperatures steady. Installing quality garage door seals helps create a barrier, turning your garage into a more usable and comfortable space. Pairing seals with DIY garage door insulation kits makes an even bigger difference for homeowners who want comfort all year round.
Gaps around garage doors act like open windows. Your heating and cooling systems work harder, wasting energy and driving up bills. Sealing those gaps reduces energy loss, and when paired with purpose-built insulation like ThermaDoor Premium, you get the full performance benefits.
An unsealed garage invites dust, insects, rodents, and even water from heavy rain. A durable Australian-made garage door seal keeps your garage cleaner, healthier, and better protected, helping safeguard cars, tools, and storage items.
Seals don’t just block air—they also cut down on outside noise. From traffic to howling winds, sealing the door makes your garage a quieter place to work, exercise, or relax.
Protect your home from bushfire embers with flame retardant seals, the largest range of flame-retardant seal for Australian garage doors. Engineered with a self-extinguishing PA6 Nylon material, the flame-retardant seals boast a flammability index of less than 5, exceeding the requirements of AS3959:2018 for construction in bushfire-prone areas. Its innovative design incorporates UV stabilizers to prevent weathering and degradation from heat and light. The durable bristle brush filament further enhances ember protection by self-extinguishing upon contact.
Flame retardant seals are compatible with various door types and can be easily installed on both new and existing garage doors.
Not all seals are created equal. Cheap imported products often:
Use thin PVC or rubber that cracks, shrinks, or splits within months.
Aren’t designed for Australian UV, humidity, or temperature extremes.
Fail to meet compliance standards for bushfire-prone areas.
What looks like a bargain quickly turns into wasted money, reduced protection, and ongoing replacements. Low-quality seals can even put strain on your garage door motor if they don’t fit properly.
Choosing Australian-made garage door seals ensures you’re getting products:
Designed for Australian conditions (UV, humidity, temperature).
Built with high-quality, durable materials.
Manufactured to meet local compliance and bushfire safety standards.
Plus, buying local supports Australian jobs and guarantees you’re not relying on untested imports. With the Australian Made logo, you know your seal is built for performance and longevity.
Sealing your garage door is one of the simplest upgrades with the biggest benefits. It improves comfort, lowers energy bills, keeps pests and water out, and reduces noise. For those in bushfire-prone areas, flame retardant seals provide critical protection that standard imports simply can’t offer.
👉 Don’t risk it with flimsy overseas products. Always choose Australian-made garage door seals for performance you can trust.
Sealing your garage door improves comfort, reduces drafts, stops dust and pests entering, lowers energy bills, and even reduces noise. It also supports the performance of insulation, making your garage a more usable and efficient space.
Flame retardant garage door seals are specially designed to resist fire, heat, and airborne embers. They are often required in bushfire-prone areas and can help your garage door comply with BAL (Bushfire Attack Level) ratings, providing an extra layer of protection beyond standard seals.
Yes. High-quality Australian-made flame retardant seals are designed to meet local bushfire conditions and compliance requirements. They are built for durability and safety, unlike many cheap imported options that may not be tested to the same standards.
Usually not. Many imported seals use thin PVC or rubber that cracks and shrinks quickly in Australian heat and UV conditions. They may also fail to provide flame resistance in bushfire zones. While they seem cheaper upfront, they cost more in the long run because they need constant replacement.
Australian-made seals are designed for local conditions — extreme UV, heat, humidity, and bushfire risk. They use high-quality materials, offer better durability, and support local jobs. Plus, you know they’re tested and compliant with Australian standards.
