Garage door threshhold choices

[Big Ed5150]

hello all...

Was wondering what your thoughts were on garage door threshholds. are you a fan of the ones that glue to the floor or the ones that attach to the bottom of the door.

What you think is best and maybe some reasons..thanks everyone.

I have both. They work perfect so far, together!

my floor is unlevel. the people that owed the house before me tried the door seal then they added a angel with another seal to help but that didn't work.

i took the angle off and tried the door seal. that didn't work so i tried the seal that glues to the floor and so far that didn't work. i am going to make a hat channel at work to bring the floor up about and inch and put the floor seal on it and caulk the ends. i hope this works for my problem.

but i do like the floor seals that glue in. my buddy has one and he is happy with it.

why do you need a floor seal? is it for snow? i ask because my door has one but i just assumed it was to keep the bottom of the door from smacking the concrete. thanks for humoring my off topic, possibly stupid question.

I have it due to the fact when it rains here, it gets pretty windy and by having both, it creates a solid rubber seal to help keep out the rain.

gotcha. my floor is at such a slope that rain doesn't have a chance of getting in.
