Tapered Shower Seal: The Ideal Solution for Uneven Gaps in Bath Shower Screens
When it comes to maintaining a watertight seal in your bathroom, the importance of quality seals cannot be overstated. Whether you have a bath shower screen or a shower door, the gap between the bottom of the glass and the top of the bath or tray can often create leaks. This is where the tapered shower seal comes into play, offering an effective and easy-to-install solution for sealing those uneven gaps and preventing water from escaping.
Tapered Shower Seal
A tapered shower seal is specifically designed for the bottom horizontal section of a bath shower screen or shower door. Its unique tapered design makes it ideal for sealing gaps of varying sizes between the glass and the bath or tray. The seal tapers from a 25mm tall soft fin at one end to a 15mm tall soft fin at the other, ensuring a perfect fit for different gap sizes.
Features and Benefits
No Adhesive Required
Unlike many other shower seals that require adhesive to stay in place, the tapered shower seal is designed to fit snugly over any glass measuring 8mm thick. It simply slides into position and stays securely in place without the need for glue or other adhesives, making installation quick and hassle-free.
Waterproof and Durable
Once the seal is pressed against a flat surface such as the shower tray or bath edge, it compresses to create a watertight barrier. This ensures that water stays where it belongs—inside the shower area. The soft fin design helps to provide flexibility and adaptability, ensuring a long-lasting, effective seal that won’t wear down easily.
Customizable Fit
The tapered shower seal is available in a 90cm (900mm) length, making it ideal for most standard shower screens and doors. If you require a different size, the seal can be easily trimmed to your preferred length using a junior hacksaw or a small pair of garden secateurs. Alternatively, if you don’t want to deal with cutting it yourself, we offer a service to cut the seal to the exact size you need.
Suitable for Straight Glass
The tapered shower seal is best used for straight glass, where the gap between the glass and the bath or tray is relatively uniform. However, if you have curved glass, don’t worry! Simply get in touch with us, and we can customize the seal to fit your unique requirements.
Wide Range of Sizes
Our tapered seals are available in a variety of sizes to accommodate any size gap. We typically recommend choosing a seal with a fin that is 2-5mm larger than the gap you need to seal for the best fit. This ensures that the seal compresses properly and creates a secure, watertight barrier.
How to Install the Tapered Shower Seal
Installing the tapered shower seal is an easy and straightforward process. Simply follow these steps:
Measure the Gap: Measure the gap between the bottom of the glass and the top of your bath or shower tray to determine the required size of your seal.
Cut to Length: If the 90cm length is too long for your needs, cut the seal down to your preferred length using a junior hacksaw or garden secateurs. If you'd rather not cut it yourself, provide us with your measurements, and we’ll handle the cutting for you.
Fit the Seal: Slide the tapered seal over the bottom edge of the glass. The soft fins will compress against the bath or tray, creating a watertight seal.
Press into Place: Make sure the seal is securely in place and pressed firmly against the flat surface. The seal will compress slightly, ensuring a tight and effective fit.
Tapered Shower Seal
There are several reasons why the tapered shower seal is an excellent choice for your bathroom:
Efficiency: It creates a reliable seal without the need for adhesive, saving you time and effort during installation.
Flexibility: With its soft fin design and tapered structure, it adapts to various gap sizes, ensuring a snug and effective fit.
Customizable: The seal can be easily trimmed to your exact length, and custom sizes for curved glass are available on request.
Durability: Made from high-quality materials, the seal provides long-lasting protection and prevents water leaks.
Conclusion
The tapered shower seal is a versatile and effective solution for anyone struggling with uneven gaps between the bottom of their shower screen or door and the bath or shower tray. Easy to install, customizable, and providing a watertight seal, it offers a hassle-free way to keep your bathroom dry and free of leaks. Whether you need it for straight or curved glass, this seal is the perfect choice to enhance your shower’s performance and keep water where it belongs.
