Overview
The Storm Shield adhesive is specifically formulated to bond garage door threshold seals to concrete and asphalt garage floors. Sold in standard 10.3 oz caulk tubes, it creates a structural bond between the threshold seal and the floor surface that holds up in all weather conditions — the adhesive will not freeze in extreme cold or soften and melt in extreme heat.
This is the same adhesive included in Storm Shield garage door threshold seal kits. It is sold separately for homeowners and installers who purchase Storm Shield threshold seal material by the foot, need additional adhesive for longer door openings, or want extra tubes on hand for future reapplication or repairs.
Compatibility and Application
This adhesive is designed specifically for use with Storm Shield PVC garage door threshold seals. It bonds the underside of the threshold to concrete, asphalt, and other common garage floor surfaces. The tube fits any standard caulk gun — the same type available at any hardware store or home center — so no specialized tools are required beyond what most homeowners and installers already own.
For a standard single-car garage door (8 to 10 feet wide), one tube of adhesive is typically sufficient. Double-car garage doors (16 feet or wider) may require two tubes to ensure full coverage across the entire length of the threshold. Having an extra tube on hand is recommended for longer runs or uneven floor surfaces that require additional adhesive to fill gaps between the threshold and the floor.
Installation Tips
Clean the garage floor surface thoroughly before applying the adhesive. Dirt, dust, oil, and moisture will weaken the bond. The floor must be completely dry before the threshold is set in place.
Apply the adhesive in a continuous bead along the underside of the threshold seal, then press the threshold firmly into position on the garage floor. Work in sections of 6 to 8 inches at a time to maintain control of the placement. Once positioned, apply steady pressure along the full length of the seal to ensure consistent contact between the adhesive, the threshold, and the floor.
Allow the adhesive to cure for a full 24 hours before operating the garage door over the installed threshold. This gives the bond time to reach full structural strength.
Selection Assistance
If you are purchasing a Storm Shield threshold seal kit, the adhesive is already included — no separate purchase is needed. If you are buying Storm Shield threshold seal by the foot in bulk, or from a 100-foot roll, you will need to purchase the adhesive separately.
Estimate your adhesive needs based on door width. One tube covers approximately 8 to 10 linear feet. For multiple doors or commercial installations, order accordingly.
