FAQs
What is the maximum glass thickness this seal will fit?

Do I need to use glue or adhesive to install this seal?
No, the rigid PVC U-section is designed to grip the glass securely without the need for any additional adhesive.
Can I use this seal on a curved shower door?
No, this seal is specifically designed for straight glass edges only and will not conform to curved surfaces.
What size gap will the flexible bubble seal?
The soft, flexible bubble at the bottom of the seal is designed to effectively seal gaps ranging from 2mm to 7mm.
How do I cut the seal to the correct length?
You can cut the seal to size using a sharp utility knife or a fine-toothed saw. Ensure the cut is clean and straight for a proper fit.
Can this seal be used vertically on the side of a shower screen?
Yes, this seal can be used vertically on the upright edge of a glass panel to create a seal between the glass and a wall or tile.
How should I clean and maintain the seal?
Clean the seal periodically with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid abrasive cleaners, as they can damage the material.
Troubleshooting
Seal is difficult to push onto the glass.
Ensure the glass edge is clean and free of debris. Try warming the seal slightly with a hairdryer on a low setting to make it more pliable. Ensure you are pushing the U-section onto the glass, not trying to slide it.
Seal does not create a watertight barrier.
Check that the seal is fully seated on the glass edge and that the flexible bubble is making firm contact with the shower tray or bath. Ensure the gap being sealed is within the 2mm-7mm range specified. If the seal was slid onto the glass during installation, it may have been stretched or damaged; consider replacing it.
Seal pops off the glass.
This usually indicates the glass thickness is outside the 8-10mm range or the seal was not fully pushed on. Ensure the correct glass thickness is used and re-seat the seal firmly from the bottom up.
Water is leaking from the sides of the seal.
This product is designed for straight runs. If your shower screen has curved corners or junctions, this seal may not be suitable. Consider an alternative seal designed for corner applications or check if the seal needs to be cut and joined precisely at corners.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup Instructions:
Measure and Cut (If Necessary): Measure the length of the glass edge where the seal will be applied. If the seal is longer than required, carefully cut it to size using a sharp utility knife or fine-toothed saw. Ensure the cut is clean and straight.
Clean the Glass Edge: Ensure the edge of the glass where the seal will be fitted is clean and free from any old sealant, dirt, or debris.
Attach the Seal: Starting from one end, push the rigid U-section of the seal onto the edge of the glass. Work your way along the glass, ensuring the seal is fully seated and gripping the glass firmly. Do not attempt to slide the seal along the glass, as this can cause damage to the seal or the glass edge.
