That looks like either a plastic or rubber draft excluder. In one year of use there is no sign of scratches from grit or dirt? I seriously doubt that. Usually a brush type would be used in that situation.

Keep The Outside Out! Vinyl Threshold Kit For A Cleaner, Cozier, And Critter-Free Garage

Review: "We built a very large metal building on our property, but when it rained the water would come under the garage doors. My husband installed these and we wanted to wait on the review until we had a heavy rain. Since then, we’ve had 3 very heavy thunderstorms (with sideways rain from the wind). The strips did their job and the building has stayed dry ever since. Great product. Would definitely recommend." - Finally retired
