Ultimate Guide to Tapered Shower Seals for Bath and Shower Doors
When it comes to keeping your bathroom dry and ensuring a tight, waterproof seal on your bath or shower door, a high-quality tapered shower seal is an invaluable solution. Designed specifically for the bottom horizontal section of a bath shower screen or shower door, this seal offers an effective and easy-to-install way to close uneven gaps between the glass and the top of the bath or shower tray.
Key Features of the Tapered Shower Seal
This tapered shower seal is ideal for situations where a uniform seal is needed on an uneven surface. The seal gradually narrows to adapt to varying gaps, providing flexibility and excellent coverage on surfaces where traditional seals may fall short.
Compatible with 8mm Glass
This seal is designed for easy installation on any shower screen or door that uses 8mm-thick glass. The U-shaped profile slips over the glass edge and holds securely in place without the need for adhesive, simplifying installation and removal.
Watertight Compression Seal
The tapered design includes a soft fin that stands 25mm tall on one side and gradually tapers down to 20mm on the other. When pressed against a flat surface, such as a shower tray or bath edge, the soft fin compresses, creating a strong, watertight seal to keep water inside the shower area and prevent leaks.
Multiple Sizes Available
Every shower setup is different, so our tapered seals come in various sizes to fit a wide range of gap dimensions. We recommend selecting a seal with a fin length that is 2-5mm larger than the gap you need to seal. This ensures optimal compression and a secure, watertight finish.
Customizable Length for Any Fit
The seal is available in a standard 90cm (900mm) length, suitable for most standard shower doors. However, it can be trimmed down with simple tools such as a junior hacksaw or garden secateurs to fit perfectly. For added convenience, you can also specify a custom length when you order, and we’ll cut it for you.
Options for Curved Glass
While this tapered seal is primarily intended for straight glass shower doors, we offer customization options for curved glass. Simply contact us with your requirements, and we can create a version of this seal that is adapted to curved shapes.
Installation Tips for Tapered Shower Seals
Installing this tapered shower seal is a straightforward process that most homeowners can accomplish with minimal tools or experience. Here’s a quick guide:
Measure Your Glass and Gap
Ensure your glass thickness is 8mm, as this seal is designed to fit snugly around it. Then, measure the gap between the bottom of the glass and the bath or shower tray.
Select the Right Size
Choose a seal with a fin length slightly larger than the gap (typically 2-5mm larger) for an effective watertight compression.
Position the Seal
Simply push the U-shaped seal onto the bottom edge of the glass. The seal is designed to hold itself in place without adhesive, so you should find it fits securely.
Trim to Fit
If the 90cm length is too long for your door, carefully trim it to your desired length using a hacksaw or garden secateurs. If you’d prefer not to cut it yourself, let us know the length you need when ordering.
