Guide to Choosing and Installing the 5mm T-Shaped Soft PVC Shower/Bath Screen Sea
If you're looking to replace or upgrade the seal on your shower or bath screen, choosing the right seal is crucial for maintaining a watertight barrier. Our 5mm T-shaped soft PVC shower seal is designed to fit most standard shower and bath screen channels, offering flexibility, durability, and ease of installation. In this article, we’ll explore the key features of this seal and provide a step-by-step guide on how to install it.
Key Features of the 5mm T-Shaped Soft PVC Seal
T-Shaped Design
The seal features a T-shaped profile that is 5mm wide. This allows it to fit snugly into a 5mm wide channel, which is a common size for shower and bath screens. However, it can also work in channels that are slightly narrower, making it a versatile choice for various installations.
Gap Sealing Range
With an overall height of 10mm, the seal is designed to cover gaps ranging from 5mm to 10mm tall. This makes it ideal for use in a variety of settings, including sealing the gap between glass panels and the surrounding walls, as well as between the bottom of a shower or bath screen and the surface below.
Soft and Flexible PVC Material
The seal is made from soft PVC, similar in flexibility and durability to silicone or rubber. This material ensures that the seal is both soft and flexible, allowing it to conform to the shape of the channel and provide an effective barrier against water leaks.
Easy to Cut
One of the great advantages of this seal is that it can be easily cut to the desired length. Simply use a good quality pair of scissors to trim the seal to the correct size for your shower or bath screen.
Available Lengths
The seal is available in two convenient lengths: 1000mm and 2000mm. Whether you need to seal a small shower door or a larger bath screen, you'll be able to find the right length for your needs. If you find that you need a shorter length, simply cut the seal to fit.
No Need for Silicone
Unlike some seals that require silicone adhesive for installation, this seal is designed to slot directly into an aluminium or plastic channel. This allows for a clean and quick installation. However, if necessary, the seal can be siliconed into place for added security.
Installation Instructions
Replacing your old shower or bath screen seal is a simple process. Follow these easy steps to get your new seal installed:
Remove the Old Seal
Start by removing the old seal from the channel. You may need to gently pull it out or use a flat tool to loosen it if it’s stuck.
Clean the Channel
Once the old seal is removed, clean the channel thoroughly to remove any dirt, grime, or residue. This will ensure that the new seal fits properly and provides an effective seal. Use a damp cloth or sponge to clean the channel, and allow it to dry completely.
Fit the New Seal
Take your new 5mm T-shaped PVC seal and carefully slide it into the channel. The T-shape should fit snugly into the channel. If the seal is too long, use scissors to trim it to the correct length before inserting it.
Adjust as Necessary
Once the seal is in place, check for any gaps or areas that may need adjustment. Ensure that the seal is securely fitted along the entire length of the channel and that there are no spaces where water could leak through.
Test the Seal
Finally, test the seal by running water along the glass and checking for any leaks. If the seal has been installed correctly, it should provide a tight and effective barrier against water.
When to Use This Seal
This 5mm T-shaped soft PVC seal is commonly used in the following scenarios:
Bottom of Shower Doors and Bath Screens: The seal fits neatly along the bottom of a shower door or bath screen to prevent water from leaking out onto the floor.
Vertical Seals: It can also be used vertically along the edges of glass panels, where it seals the gap between the glass and the wall or tiles, keeping water contained within the shower or bath area.
Replacing Worn Seals: If your existing seal has become cracked, brittle, or ineffective, this seal is an excellent replacement choice. It restores the watertight integrity of your shower or bath screen.
