When it comes to ensuring a secure, watertight seal for windows, doors, hatches, lockers, enclosures, and cabinets, the Self Grip Side Seal with 13mm Diameter Bulb is the perfect solution. Designed to fit panels ranging from 3mm to 6mm in thickness, this versatile edge trim is essential for creating a reliable barrier against the elements and protecting your spaces from water ingress.
Key Features and Benefits
Designed for Panels 3mm to 6mm Thick
The Self Grip Side Seal is tailored for use on panels with thicknesses ranging from 3mm to 6mm. It features a 13mm diameter sponge sealing bulb that compresses to provide a tight, effective seal when applied to panel edges. This is perfect for applications such as sealing window frames, doors, enclosures, and cabinets.
Watertight Seal for Enhanced Protection
This product excels at creating a watertight seal, ensuring that your panels remain protected from moisture and weather. It’s particularly useful in environments where keeping water out is critical, such as marine, automotive, and outdoor settings. By compressing the sponge bulb by approximately 30%, you create a solid seal that prevents leaks while also avoiding compression set, a key consideration for long-lasting performance.
Self-Gripping Metal Spine
One of the standout features of this edge trim is its self-gripping metal spine. This design allows the seal to hold itself firmly in place without requiring any additional adhesive. The self-gripping mechanism makes installation easier, as the trim stays securely in position even without the need for tools or extra fastening solutions.
Reusable and Easy to Fit
Another benefit of the self-gripping feature is that the trim can be removed and reused multiple times. This adds flexibility for adjustments or replacements. Installation is quick and simple; the trim can be applied to the panel edge by tapping it on with your hand or a soft-faced hammer, making it an easy DIY solution.
Durable and Flexible EPDM Material
The Self Grip Side Seal is made from high-quality EPDM (Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer), a durable rubber compound widely used in industrial and everyday applications. EPDM is known for its excellent resistance to chemicals, UV, air, and ozone, making it an ideal material for both indoor and outdoor use. However, it is important to note that it is not recommended for environments where oil or fuel exposure is common.
Wide Operating Temperature Range
EPDM’s wide temperature range, from -40°C to +120°C, ensures that this edge trim will perform reliably in extreme conditions. Whether you’re using it in freezing temperatures or in areas exposed to high heat, the Self Grip Side Seal can withstand these fluctuations without compromising its sealing capabilities.

The Self Grip Side Seal with 13mm Bulb is highly versatile and can be used in a variety of settings, including:
