Overview
A garage door bottom seal keeps drafts and debris from entering around the door panel — but it cannot fully prevent water, leaves, and pests from getting past the gap where the door meets the floor, especially on uneven or sloped surfaces. The Storm Shield garage door threshold seal solves this problem by installing directly on the garage floor at the point where the door closes, creating a raised barrier that the bottom seal compresses against for a tighter, more complete perimeter seal.
Manufactured in the USA by Action Industries, Storm Shield is designed as a universal fit for most residential and commercial garage doors. It provides protection against wind-driven rain, snow, moisture, dust, dirt, leaves, insects, rodents, and snakes. Two versions are available — the original Storm Shield in PVC with adhesive application, and Storm Shield 2 in EPDM with peel-and-stick backing — giving you flexibility to choose the material and installation method that best suits your project.
Storm Shield Original – PVC
The original Storm Shield is made from durable PVC and installs on the garage floor using adhesive applied with a standard caulk gun. The profile measures 3-1/4 inches wide with a 2-inch flexible flap, a 45-degree hump, and a height of 1/2 inch. When the door closes, the bottom seal compresses against the hump to create a tight barrier at ground level. The PVC material is chemical-resistant, withstanding oil, gas, antifreeze, and other common garage chemicals without degrading. It performs in extreme temperatures without cracking, warping, or shattering.
Available in black and grey, sold by the foot or in a 100-foot roll with adhesive tubes included.
Storm Shield 2 – EPDM Peel & Stick
Storm Shield 2 is made from EPDM (ethylene propylene diene monomer) rubber and features a peel-and-stick backing that eliminates the need for separate adhesive or a caulk gun. The profile measures 3 inches wide with a 1/2-inch hump that sits against the garage door bottom seal when the door is closed. EPDM withstands temperatures from -40°F to 150°F, making it well suited for garages in extreme cold or hot climates. It meets California Fire Marshal and CPAI-84 flame resistance requirements.
Available in black, sold by the foot or in a 100-foot roll.
Features
Both Storm Shield versions share several key features that make this threshold an effective addition to any garage door weathersealing system. The threshold installs directly on the garage floor between the vertical tracks where the door meets the ground. Both versions are easy to trim to the exact width of the door opening. The 1/2-inch height falls within ADA guideline requirements for maximum threshold height. Both versions carry a two-year residential warranty and meet CPAI-84 flame resistance standards.
Applications
Storm Shield is designed for residential and commercial garage doors where water intrusion, pest entry, or debris infiltration at the floor is a concern. It is especially effective in garages on sloped driveways where rainwater flows toward the door, in regions with heavy rain or snow, in areas with high rodent or insect pressure, and in modern garage spaces used for workshops, home gyms, or vehicle storage where a clean, sealed environment is important. The threshold works with the existing garage door bottom seal — it does not replace the bottom seal but enhances it by creating a raised barrier at the floor.

Selection Assistance
Choose Storm Shield Original (PVC) for garages where chemical resistance is a priority or where you prefer a caulk-gun adhesive application for maximum bond control. Choose Storm Shield 2 (EPDM peel-and-stick) for faster installation without separate adhesive, or for garages in extreme-temperature climates where the -40°F to 150°F EPDM range is needed. Both versions provide effective protection — the choice comes down to material preference, installation method, and environmental conditions.
