poor quality cement
By Larry Loo
After having a new 15′ garage door installed in my workshop, I purchased a 16′ Storm Shield garage door threshold kit to keep out rainwater from seeping in under the door. I found the rubber threshold itself to be of very good quality, but, the two tubes of cement (around 4 – 6 oz. tubes) that came with it were hard to use. That is, I found it difficult to squeeze out the beads of cement fast sufficient along the threshold’s entire length before they started out to harden – i.e. outer layer of cement skinned over. It would have been much better if the company provided a big sufficient tube of cement that one could utilize with a caulking gun. Also, if you lay down the cement according to the tight pattern shown in the instructions, you will not have sufficient cement for the entire length of threshold. In spite of the fact that I disseminate the cement as evenly as I could and then rolled the top of the threshold to cohere it to the concrete floor, a little amount of rainwater leaked beneath the threshold a week later. I’ve since fixed this by caulking the outside edge of the threshold with GE Silicone II caulking compound.

If you’re going to use this product, I suggest that you discard the cement supplied with it. Then buy a huge tube of Liquid Nails and implement it quickly with a manual caulking gun. For added waterproofing you might add an further and added bead of a silicone caulking compound beneath the outside edge of the threshold before you turn it over and position it on the floor of your garage. In preparation for this occupation I clean the area of the concrete floor well with detergent and clean water rinses. After the floor has dried, I’ll lay down a chalk line denoting the outer edge of the threshold. Finally, I utilize masking tape along this chalk line. This tells me where the threshold’s outside edge ought to be and later allows me to trim off the hardened, excess silicone compound with a razor blade or utility knife. This excess caulking will then come away with the masking tape and leave a nice beautiful edge on the outside of your new threshold.

16′ Storm Shield Review
By B. Hibbs
I purchased this Storm Shield threshhold assorted months ago. I did read other reviews and followed a heap of advice. I purchased a tube of liquid nails construction adhesive to make sure I would have plenty. Once you begin installing the threshold, you don’t want to run short of adhesive. I likewise prefit the threshold on the floor and marked the outside edge with a pencil. I then placed masking tape on the outside mark. After installing the product I ran a little bead of clear silicone along the tape, where it met the threshold. After it dried I ran a razor knife along the tape and got rid of it. This made a nice looking occupation with easy cleanup. To make a long story short, installation was easy and the threshold has worked great. No more snow or water puddles under my door. I highly commend this if your floor has any of these problems. It also helps if you have a heated garage to keep out drafts!
