Quick way to draft proof your roller shutter style garage doors

- John from 'To the Garage' reduces drafts and dirt getting past his roller shutter Garage door to keep Purdey the Jaguar XK8 clean and warm over the winter.
If you try something similar then make sure you put the soft side of the carpet against the door outer surface of the door to avoid scratching.
Don't go right to the edges of the roller, leave about 2 inches to stop any fibres eventually working loose and being drawn into the mechanism
And if you make your strip too narrow it will want to climb over to the outside when you close the door.
Thank you so much for sharing your idea here! I’m disabled & off work for the first time ever, unable to afford anyone to come and fix the freezing cold and dirt that homes into the house via the garage. This is a brilliant idea and tutorial. Very grateful for your time ❤
glad it helped trips daisy👍👍
Great idea. All I need now is a garage.....
Go for it!
Your ingenuity knows no bounds. Nice job.
Too Kind.👍😁
I started by looking up brush type draught excluders for this problem, before I though of looking on TH-cam.
Sure enough, your video provided a solution for me and many others. Thank you! 👍
You're very welcome!
What a brilliant idea. I was wondering how I’d be able to resolve this and here we are. Food for thought.
Thanks S B
What a great video mate! I've been searching for a while for a method to draft seal and this looks perfect. This is my job for tomorrow.
Glad it helped
Nice one john. Turning into a lovely little workplace that. Hope your going to do a video on keeping the car sorted through these coming months.
Thanks Robert That's the plan!
Nice draught excluder John, and I guess it will also brush off a certain amount of dust off the external side.
Yes it does. My Door has never looked cleaner😁
Brilliant video I have this problem with my unit for car detailing but my gap between the roller and out side is huge so will have to improvise a bit more
That's an amazing idea thank you!
You are so welcome!
Good idea, thanks! I’ll be using that!
Love the video 👍👍
Thanks 👍
Perfect just what I was looking for. I would never have thought of this before seeing it
Thanks 👍
I'm going through the same issue, I have a small workshop and a gym setup. But it's too cold to use in winter months as the heat escapes very quickly. I was going to use a brush strip, but not sure if it would seal. Great video!.
Thanks Yaser
I mean...I guess it works.
Not everyones choice sam, but easy and cheap👍
What a great idea - wish I'd seen it before I cleared the old carpet out of the garage!!! Do you have any tips for insulating the slots at the sides? Mine had a short bristle affair but this has flattened over the years and draft gets round the sides of the doors.
Mine still looks ok in that regard, but I think that some of the self adhesive domestic door seals you can buy from DIY stores are the same style
Short of that you can use the soft half of self adhesive velcro.
Slide in some insulation boards between the wall and the roller frame. Worked a treat on mine. Zero draft
Marvellous. I was trying to think of a simian solution. This should be perfect. Thanks. What lift do you have, is it 3 phase. Just subscribed
single phase 'strongman' Scissor lift
Hi John, Why didn't I think of that solution ??!! I ended up hanging a band of sunscreen on the exterior, slightly better than before but not as good as your idea.
Ha. Sunscreen! I dream of needing sunscreen🤣
If you make the carpet sections wide enough to hang over the door roll the edge of the carpet will never catch on the door 😉
Does this mean we can now have a roller disco in the warm.
yes👍 I will break out the spandex
What type of drill/screw driver are you using?!
The brilliant IXO. Here is a link

Just got a new roller door fitted, draft seems to come from the sides where the slats sit not the outer frame. Anyone else had this problem? Is there a solution?
Use thin insulation board. Cut a long thin strip and slide it between the wall and the roller frame.

perfect... if you've got a wooden lintel. Otherwise... good luck firing those screws into concrete. Oh and very conveniently placed roof trusses... yeesh.
Masonry drillbit and some nylon anchors. Easy as
