Gap Seals
Gap Seals Against Rodents & Insects – Reliable Protection for Hygiene-Sensitive Areas
Even with optimal planning, small but critical gaps frequently occur at loading docks—between the truck and the warehouse floor, along the sides of the door, or at uneven transitions. These openings may seem insignificant, yet they provide rodents, insects, and fine dust with direct access into production or storage areas. Especially in industries with strict hygiene requirements—such as food, pharmaceuticals, medical technology, or electronics—even a single contamination incident can have serious consequences: audit deviations, production stoppages, or reputational damage.
Our specially developed gap seals reliably and durably close these weak points. In contrast to conventional sealing profiles, which quickly become porous due to rodent gnawing and lose their functionality, our solutions are long-term gnaw-resistant and retain their sealing effectiveness for years—without replacement or rework.
Practical Benefits – Safety That Pays Off
Long-Term Protection Against Pests & Contamination
The seals effectively prevent the ingress of rats, mice, insects, and dust particles—even with repeated docking of different vehicle types. As a result, they make a direct contribution to compliance with hygiene standards (e.g., HACCP, IFS, BRCGS) and support you during internal and external audits.
Quick, Non-Invasive Installation – Typically Tool-Free
Many of our gap seals can be mounted magnetically—without drilling, screws, or structural modifications to existing doors or floor structures. This allows for retrofitting within the shortest time frame—even during ongoing operations. For non-magnetic surfaces, we offer suitable adapters or alternative mounting methods.
Custom-Fit & Flexible Adaptability
Every loading station is unique—varying truck heights, sloped ramps, or worn floors. Our seals can be precisely cut to size on-site to ensure optimal fit and complete closure—even in complex geometries.
Energy Savings Through Improved Sealing
Leaky gaps not only attract pests but also increase energy costs: drafts in winter, heat ingress in summer. By reducing uncontrolled air exchange, gap seals noticeably lower heating and cooling demand—with a measurable impact on your energy balance and CO₂ footprint.
Minimal Maintenance – Hygienic Cleaning
The surfaces are smooth, low in seams, and can be easily cleaned with a simple water jet—ideal for environments with high hygiene requirements. No need for chemical cleaners, specialized tools, or disassembly.
Weglehner – Your Partner for Proven Sealing Solutions
We deliver not just products, but tailor-made safety. Together with you, we analyze your loading area:
- Where do recurring gaps occur?
- Which vehicle types dock regularly?
- What hygiene or energy goals are you pursuing?
Based on this, we recommend the optimal gap seal—including prompt delivery and optional professional installation by our technical team from Upper Austria.
Combinable with additional components such as corner seals, LED dock lights, or traffic signal systems for a holistic loading concept—safe, efficient, and future-proof.
