They keep water, debris and small animals from coming in under the bottom of your garage door. Since there are a variety of different types of bottom seals and <a href=\"https:\/\/ddmgaragedoors.com\/blog\/2023\/05\/09\/how-to-select-bottom-retainers\/\">retainers<\/a>, deciding which type to use can be difficult. Twin contact bottom seals are one of several kinds, and might be the ideal choice for your needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Garage Door Seals - Twin Contact Bottom Seal\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/mN8zGT6yVck?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Historically, garage door bottom seals had two parts: a flap that blocked the bottom of the door, and a horizontal part that attached the seal to the door. Today, there are two other types of garage door seals. One type has a bulb as well as a flap hanging down from the door. When the door closes, it pushes the bulb and flap together, sealing the door. The other type of seal comes in two separate pieces: the <a href=\"https:\/\/ddmgaragedoors.com\/parts\/garage_door_seals_bottom_retainer.html\">retainer<\/a>, which attaches to the bottom of the garage door, and a <a href=\"https:\/\/ddmgaragedoors.com\/parts\/garage_door_seals_bottom_seals.html\">bulb or flap<\/a> that slides into the retainer from the side.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Twin contact bottom seals come in three types: C-channel, L-shaped, and tongue &amp; groove.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-c-channel\">C-Channel<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>C-channel twin-contact bottom seals typically have to match the thickness of the door. They come in three sizes: <a href=\"https:\/\/ddmgaragedoors.com\/parts\/part\/BSTC-138C.html\">1 3\/8 inch<\/a>, for wooden residential doors; <a href=\"https:\/\/ddmgaragedoors.com\/parts\/part\/BSTC-134C.html\">1 3\/4 inch<\/a>, for wooden commercial doors; and <a href=\"https:\/\/ddmgaragedoors.com\/parts\/part\/BSTC-200C.html\">two inches<\/a>, for two-inch residential and commercial doors. C-channel bottom seals have material on both sides of the door. As a result, it is doubly important that the width match the thickness of the door. Otherwise, the bottom seal will not fit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/ddmgaragedoors.com\/blog\/uploads\/2023\/03\/C-channel-bottom-seal.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/ddmgaragedoors.com\/blog\/uploads\/2023\/03\/C-channel-bottom-seal-1024x576.png\" alt=\"C-channel twin contact bottom seal with the flap and bulb hanging down from the bottom\" class=\"wp-image-5939\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ddmgaragedoors.com\/blog\/uploads\/2023\/03\/C-channel-bottom-seal-1024x576.png 1024w, https:\/\/ddmgaragedoors.com\/blog\/uploads\/2023\/03\/C-channel-bottom-seal-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/ddmgaragedoors.com\/blog\/uploads\/2023\/03\/C-channel-bottom-seal-768x432.png 768w, https:\/\/ddmgaragedoors.com\/blog\/uploads\/2023\/03\/C-channel-bottom-seal-1536x864.png 1536w, https:\/\/ddmgaragedoors.com\/blog\/uploads\/2023\/03\/C-channel-bottom-seal.png 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><strong>C-Channel Bottom Seal<\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">L-Shaped<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>L-shaped twin-contact bottom seals also come in different sizes to match the thickness of the door. <a href=\"https:\/\/ddmgaragedoors.com\/parts\/part\/BSTC-138L.html\">1 3\/8 inch L-shaped seals<\/a> fit on residential wooden and steel doors. <a href=\"https:\/\/ddmgaragedoors.com\/parts\/part\/BSTC-134L.html\">1 3\/4 inch L-shaped bottom seals<\/a> fit on commercial doors as well as two-inch doors.

Twin contact seals tend to do a much better job than ordinary bottom seals. However, they are also thinner and have a shorter lifespan, often lasting only five to ten years. Ordinary bottom seals do not do as good a job at sealing the bottom of the garage door. However, they are more durable and consequently last much longer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition, ordinary bottom seals can be rolled up and put in a box for easier shipping. Twin contact seals are too rigid to be easily rolled up and put in a box. Instead, we ship them in eight-foot lengths. This can cause a problem if two eight-foot lengths do not quite line up, leaving a gap in the door.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are also <a href=\"https:\/\/ddmgaragedoors.com\/parts\/garage_door_seals_bottom_retainer.html\">bottom retainers<\/a> that come separately from the seal. Aluminum bottom retainers can last up to twenty years when not exposed to high levels of moisture or salt. Plastic retainers usually last about ten years, roughly the same amount of time as twin contact seals. However, bottom retainers are as rigid as twin contact seals or more so, meaning they are just as difficult to ship.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/ddmgaragedoors.com\/blog\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Creative-application-for-a-single-channel-retainer.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"580\" src=\"https:\/\/ddmgaragedoors.com\/blog\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Creative-application-for-a-single-channel-retainer-1024x580.png\" alt=\"A single-channel retainer with the bulb insert running along the bottom\" class=\"wp-image-5747\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ddmgaragedoors.com\/blog\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Creative-application-for-a-single-channel-retainer-1024x580.png 1024w, https:\/\/ddmgaragedoors.com\/blog\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Creative-application-for-a-single-channel-retainer-300x170.png 300w, https:\/\/ddmgaragedoors.com\/blog\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Creative-application-for-a-single-channel-retainer-768x435.png 768w, https:\/\/ddmgaragedoors.com\/blog\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Creative-application-for-a-single-channel-retainer-1536x869.png 1536w, https:\/\/ddmgaragedoors.com\/blog\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Creative-application-for-a-single-channel-retainer.png 1668w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><strong>Single-channel retainer with the seal attached to the bottom<\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Which Type of Twin Contact?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you have decided to use a twin contact bottom seal, you will need to determine how wide you need the seal to be and what kind of seal to use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>First, determine the thickness of the door. Before anything else, the seal has to fit your door.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you know how wide you need your seal to be, choose the seal that is easiest to use and best fits your door. There is no reason to do extra work in order to get the same result.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Third is price. Once you know what kind of bottom seal you need, choose the product that does the job with the least amount of money. A bigger seal will not necessarily do a better job of sealing your door, but, it will drive up the cost.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A fourth point to consider is if there are any special requirements for your door. If the bottom of the door has been damaged by rust or rot, C-channel retainers can be used to cover the damage and prevent further deterioration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/ddmgaragedoors.com\/blog\/uploads\/2023\/03\/The-kind-of-damage-covered-by-C-channel-retainers.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/ddmgaragedoors.com\/blog\/uploads\/2023\/03\/The-kind-of-damage-covered-by-C-channel-retainers-1024x576.png\" alt=\"A white-painted door with water damage along the bottom.
