No, we're not talking about adorable marine animals, or Navy-men, or even special coats-of-arms. We're talking about rubber strips that seal the inside of your garage against the nefarious dust, dirt, pollen, and moisture that's just trying to slip its way in.

These handy 9 to 12 foot long mushy things can help perfectly sea your garage door to the floor, making sure you don't let unwanted things in your home, or let heat seep out. That can easily drive up your energy bills! So create that long-lasting, snug fit with a garage door seal, or threshold seal.

Start with a length that is a little too long for your garage, then trim it down so it just barely fits within the confines of the two side walls. Then use the adhesive that comes with the seal to essentially glue that sucker to the floor directly beneath the garage door. If you're not sure where that is, lower the door and mark it off with pencil.

This rubber will never go stiff, and isn't susceptible to cold. (Unless you live somewhere that gets -50°F weather! It'll be great protection against weather, rain, wind, and snow. It will protect you from allergens, dust, dirt, mites and other bugs, and general grossness.

You can choose from a variety of colors to best fit your floor or make a statement. One thing to keep in mind- you shouldn't use a seal on a specially treated or painted floor unless you don't mind damaging it. Best on concrete.
