Hawaii's warm and humid environment requires garage door seals that are resistant to salt corrosion and UV degradation. The constant exposure to salt-laden air can cause rubber and vinyl seals to break down, leading to cracking and loss of sealing capability. High humidity can also contribute to mold and mildew growth on seals. Furthermore, the intense tropical sun can bake seals, making them brittle and less effective at creating a barrier against rain and wind. Regular cleaning and inspection of your garage door bottom seal are essential to ensure it remains flexible and intact, preventing water intrusion and maintaining your home's interior.
