FAQs
What is the main purpose of this shower seal?
The main purpose is to prevent water from leaking out of your shower enclosure, particularly from the bottom edge of the shower screen, by sealing the gap between the glass and the shower tray or bath.
What thickness of glass is this seal designed for?
This seal is specifically designed to fit shower screens with 6mm thick glass.
How large of a gap can this seal cover?
The seal is designed to cover gaps up to 24mm between the glass screen and the shower tray or bath.
How long is the shower seal?
The seal comes in a standard length of 1 meter.
Can I cut the seal to size?
Yes, the seal can be cut to the desired length if the standard 1-meter length is too long for your specific application.
What happens if my shower enclosure needs more than 1 meter of seal?
You will need to purchase multiple 1-meter seals and carefully join them together. Ensure the join is as seamless as possible to maintain effective sealing.
How should I clean and maintain the seal?
Clean the seal regularly with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials that could damage the seal.
Troubleshooting
Water still leaking from the shower.
Ensure the seal is fully seated on the 6mm glass edge and pressing firmly against the shower tray or bath. Check if the gap exceeds 24mm, which is the maximum sealing capacity. Verify that the glass is indeed 6mm thick. If using multiple seals, check the join for any gaps.
Seal is difficult to slide onto the glass.
Make sure the glass edge is clean and dry. You can slightly dampen the edge of the glass or the inside of the seal with water to help it slide more easily. Do not force the seal; ensure it's aligned correctly with the glass edge.
Seal appears to be shrinking or not fitting correctly after installation.
This is uncommon but could be due to temperature fluctuations. Ensure the seal is pressed firmly against the glass and that the glass thickness is correct (6mm). If the issue persists, consider replacing the seal.
