Weather stripping the edges of your insulated garage doors is important to make sure that the air, dirt and water would not pass through gaps, especially at the bottom of the door.

All insulated garage doors are given R-value which is based on the ability of the materials to resist the changes in temperatures. The higher the R-value of a door is, the better it can keep your garage warm and comfortable.
