This garage door is unusable so I’d like to seal it off from. Considering the garage door type and the wide range of gaps currently allowing everything in, and body corporate won’t allow me to adhere anything to the outside, I thought my best option would be builders plastic covering the entire internal side - wall to wall, floor to ceiling. I believe the shape of the door arms mean I would have to place the plastic before them. Is this my best option for an effective seal? if yes, what mounting tapes/adhesives should I use?
If there is a better option, I’m open to it. However, it must be:
- easily removable with out leaving any permanent changes to the surfaces (or easily reparable)
- seal off dust, debris, water, etc
The fun of renting continues! Thank you all ☺️
The link takes me to a general search result for “expansion foam”, it has lots of cans/spray foam?
Hi @learningDIYer,
I like the idea of using plastic to seal off the garage door as it creates a physical barrier against dust, debris, and drafts. One challenge you'll face is finding a tape that adheres well to your brickwork. To ensure good adhesion, thoroughly clean the brick surfaces beforehand. Cloth tape (also known as duct tape) should stick effectively to bricks, especially if they're clean and dry.
However, keep in mind that if the tape remains on the bricks for an extended period, some adhesive residue may be left behind when you remove it. This can usually be cleaned off with a solvent like isopropyl alcohol or a commercial adhesive remover. Just test a small inconspicuous area first to ensure it won’t damage the bricks.
Please let us know if you have further questions.
