FAQs
What thickness of glass is this seal for?
This seal is specifically designed for shower screens with 5mm thick glass.
How long is the seal?
The seal comes in a standard length of 1500mm (1.5 meters) and can be trimmed to size.
Can I use this on a curved shower screen?
While it can be bent, it's best suited for straight edges. For heavily curved screens, a more flexible or specialized seal might be required.
Do I need any tools to install it?
No special tools are required. You may need sharp scissors or a utility knife to trim it to the correct length.
How do I clean the seal?
Clean it regularly with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals.
Will this fit a wet room glass panel?
If the wet room panel has a 5mm thick glass edge and sits on a flat surface, it should work. Ensure there is a suitable gap to seal.
What if my glass is 6mm thick?
This seal is designed for 5mm glass. Using it on 6mm glass will likely result in a poor fit and potential leaks.
Troubleshooting
Seal is too loose
Ensure your glass is exactly 5mm thick. If the gap is wider than the seal is designed for, it may not provide a secure fit. Consider if a different seal profile is needed.
Seal is too tight or won't slide on
Double-check that your glass is 5mm thick. If it is, and the seal still feels too tight, try slightly warming the PVC with a hairdryer on a low setting to make it more flexible for installation.
Water still leaks under the screen
Ensure the seal is making full contact with the bath edge. Check for any debris caught between the seal and the bath. The screen itself may be unevenly set, or the seal may need repositioning.
Seal appears stiff
PVC can become less flexible in cold environments. Try warming the seal gently with a hairdryer on a low setting before attempting to fit it.
