Choosing the Right Shower Seal for Your Bathroom: The Ultimate Guide
When it comes to maintaining a leak-free bathroom, one of the most essential yet often overlooked components is the shower or bath screen seal. A good-quality seal ensures water stays where it should – in the shower – and not leaking onto the floor or walls. In this guide, we’ll take a closer look at a versatile and durable shower seal made of high-quality PVC, designed to fit various bathroom applications with ease.
What Makes This Shower Seal Stand Out?
This particular shower seal is made from a soft, flexible PVC material, providing durability and effective sealing for your bath or shower screen. The seal comes with a T-shaped profile that measures 8mm wide, which is ideal for use in channels that are 8mm wide. However, due to its flexibility, it can also fit slightly narrower channels, depending on the minimum width of the channel.
This seal works by sealing gaps ranging from 4mm to 9mm in height, offering a perfect fit for many standard shower and bath screen applications. It ensures a tight, secure seal, helping to keep water from escaping and causing unwanted leaks.
Key Features
T-Shaped Profile (8mm wide): Fits into 8mm wide channels, but may also work for slightly narrower channels.
Seals Gaps (4mm to 9mm): Effective at sealing various gap sizes.
Flexible Soft PVC Material: Offers durability and flexibility similar to silicone or rubber, ensuring long-lasting performance.
Easy to Cut: The soft PVC can easily be trimmed with scissors, allowing for quick adjustments to the seal's length or shape.
Versatile Use: Suitable for horizontal or vertical installation on shower doors, bath screens, or along the glass edge to seal gaps between the glass and tiles/walls.
Available in Two Lengths: Choose from 1000mm or 2000mm lengths, and easily cut the seal down to size.
Easy Installation
Installing this shower seal is quick and simple. Here’s how to do it:
Remove the Old Seal: Start by carefully removing your old seal from the channel, if applicable.
Clean the Channel: Use a damp cloth to clean the existing channel, ensuring it is free from dirt, grime, or any other obstructions.
Install the New Seal: Simply slide the new seal into the channel. Its T-shape ensures it fits securely and stays in place, providing an effective barrier against water leaks.
Applications for This Seal
This shower seal is commonly used on the bottom horizontal section of a bath screen or shower door, where water tends to accumulate. It can also be used vertically along the edges of the glass to create a seal between the glass and the tiles or walls. By preventing water from leaking out, the seal helps keep your bathroom dry and free of water damage.
Additional Tips
Measure the Channel: Before purchasing the seal, ensure you measure the width of your existing channel. If the channel measures 8mm, this seal will work perfectly. If it’s slightly smaller, the flexibility of the PVC material allows the seal to fit snugly.
Cutting the Seal: If the length of the seal is too long for your installation, simply use a pair of scissors to trim it down to the desired size.
Silicone Application (Optional): While this seal is designed to fit into a channel without the need for silicone, you can apply silicone if you wish for extra security, particularly in areas that are more prone to heavy water flow.
