This guide is for homeowners and DIY enthusiasts looking to prevent water leaks from their 8mm glass shower doors, particularly quadrant and sliding types. The key benefit is restoring effective water containment, ensuring a dry bathroom floor. A caveat is that this seal is specific to 8mm glass and may require trimming for a perfect fit.

FAQs
What thickness of glass is this seal for?
This specific seal is designed for shower doors with 8mm thick glass.
How long is each seal?
Each seal is 2000mm (2 metres) long.
Can I cut the seal to size?
Yes, the seal can be cut to your required length using a sharp utility knife or strong scissors.
What does the '25mm fin' refer to?
The 25mm refers to the length of the back fin, which is designed to extend and help deflect water back into the shower.
Are these seals suitable for horizontal use?
While primarily designed for vertical application to channel water downwards, they might offer some benefit on horizontal surfaces depending on the specific shower design, but their optimal performance is on vertical edges.
How do I clean the seals?
Clean them regularly with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
What other variants are available?
This product line includes seals with different fin sizes (e.g., 15mm, 20mm, 35mm) and finishes (chrome), as well as options for different glass thicknesses. Please check the product listings for other available variants.
Troubleshooting
Seal is too loose on the glass
Ensure you are using this seal on 8mm glass. If the fit is still loose, consider a seal with a tighter profile or a different fin design. A small amount of silicone sealant can be used sparingly as a last resort, but this is not recommended for a permanent solution.
Seal is too tight and difficult to slide on
Apply a small amount of soapy water or a non-corrosive lubricant to the edge of the glass or the inside of the seal to help it slide more easily. Ensure the glass thickness is exactly 8mm.
Water still leaking
Check that the seal is correctly positioned with fins pointing inwards. Ensure the seal is seated fully along the entire edge of the door. Verify that the glass thickness is 8mm and that the seal is not damaged or worn.
Seal leaves a mark on the shower tray/floor
This is unlikely with a properly fitted PVC seal. Ensure no abrasive material is trapped between the seal and the surface. Clean both the seal and the contact surface regularly.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Measure the height of your shower door's vertical edge to determine if the 2-meter length is sufficient or needs trimming.
- If trimming is required, use a sharp utility knife or strong scissors to cut the seal to the desired length. Ensure a clean, straight cut.
- Gently slide the seal onto the edge of the 8mm glass shower door. It should fit snugly. If it's too tight, a small amount of soapy water can help it glide into place.
- Ensure the seal is fully seated and the fins are pointing inwards towards the shower.
Compatibility:
- This seal is designed for shower doors with 8mm thick glass.
- It is suitable for vertical application on quadrant, sliding, or hinged shower doors.
- The 25mm back fin is ideal for gaps where the door meets fixed panels or other shower frame components.
Care:
- Clean regularly with a damp cloth and mild, non-abrasive soap.
- Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, which can damage the clear PVC material.
- Periodically check for any debris or mold buildup and clean thoroughly.
