4–5 mm hollow-chamber seal for glass shower enclosures
At Duschdichtungsprofile.de, we showcase a high-quality 4–5 mm hollow-chamber seal for a glass shower – here, our customers can browse a selection of shower seal profiles online. A hollow-chamber seal is fitted between two door panels or between a door and a fixed glass panel. Hollow-chamber seals have the advantage that doors can be opened easily in both directions. They are semi-circular and hollow on the inside, hence the name. These seals are available for different glass thicknesses; we have included them in our range here for 4–5 mm.

Like all other shower seals, shower lips suffer from the problem that they are constantly exposed to water, shower gel and shampoo whilst showering. In most households, their job is to ensure, several times a day, that the water stays in the shower and doesn’t end up all over the bathroom. This isn’t just a nuisance; it can also be dangerous and create a significant risk of slipping in the bathroom.
If a 4–5 mm hollow-chamber seal needs replacing because it has started to leak, we have replacements available for our customers in our online shop. And it’s not just water and shampoo that take their toll on the seals; harsh cleaning products can also cause them to become porous. If you need a replacement, you’ve come to the right place. We advise our customers not to use overly aggressive cleaning products – as a rule, lukewarm water and a soft cloth, ideally made of microfibre, are sufficient. However, we also have other care products available for you in our shop.

A twin-chamber seal is made of rigid PVC where it surrounds the glass and of flexible PVC where the sealing lip is located. We have plenty of tips and tricks available online to help you fit the 4–5 mm twin-chamber seal – including a video on YouTube.

For which glass thickness is the hollow-chamber seal suitable?
The hollow-chamber seal is particularly suitable for glass shower enclosures with glass thicknesses of 4–5 mm. It ensures a reliable seal and prevents water from seeping through the gaps between the glass panels or towards the wall.
Where can the hollow-chamber seal be fitted in the shower?
The hollow-chamber seal is extremely versatile. It is suitable for sealing the gap between a shower door and a fixed glass panel, between two glass doors, or between a glass pane and the wall. When fitted correctly, the shower door can still be opened inwards and outwards.
Can I cut the hollow-chamber seal to size and fit it myself?
Yes, the hollow-chamber seal can easily be cut to the required length. You can use, for example, mitre shears, anvil shears or a fine-toothed saw. The seal profile can then be fitted onto the appropriate glass edge.
What material is the hollow-chamber seal made of?
The hollow-chamber seal is made of high-quality PVC and comprises a rigid and a flexible component. Whilst the rigid section ensures a secure grip on the glass, the flexible hollow chamber adapts to the gap to be sealed. This results in a durable and reliable seal.
How do I clean and maintain a hollow-chamber seal for glass shower enclosures?
Clean the hollow-chamber seal regularly with lukewarm water and a soft microfibre cloth. For stubborn dirt, mild, chlorine-free and non-alkaline cleaning products may be used. Avoid harsh cleaners, abrasive products and solvents to protect the material in the long term.
