Centre seal for glass shower enclosures, 6–8 mm
Centre seal, 6–8 mm, for a glass shower enclosure: Order quickly online
Do you need a new 6–8 mm centre seal for your glass shower enclosure? You can find one quickly and easily in our online shop at www.duschdichtungsprofile.de. Centre seals are generally used to seal the shower between a fixed and a movable glass panel – ensuring that the water stays exactly where it belongs: in the shower. Shower seals are generally prone to wear and tear due to various factors.
For example, the water coming out of your shower head may be very hard. Over time, limescale increasingly builds up on the centre seals and other profiles. These become porous and brittle – and eventually fail completely. Furthermore, harsher cleaning products can damage the 6–8 mm centre seals used in glass showers. The more limescale there is in the water, the stronger the cleaning product usually needs to be. This, too, does not necessarily contribute to a long service life. After all, even a cleaning product not specifically designed for the seal can cause damage.

For which glass shower enclosures is a 6–8 mm centre seal suitable?
A centre seal for glass thicknesses of 6–8 mm is suitable for frameless all-glass showers with glass doors and fixed glass panels of the appropriate thickness. It is mainly used to provide a vertical seal between a shower door and a fixed glass panel. The flexible sealing lip prevents splash water from escaping through the gap.
What is the maximum gap width that a centre seal can seal for 6–8 mm glass?
The gap width that can be sealed depends on the design and length of the sealing lip. A standard centre seal, for example, can seal gaps of up to 12 mm. Special centre seals with longer sealing lips are available for wider gaps. Measure the existing gap carefully before ordering to ensure you select the correct seal.
What is the difference between a centre seal for 6 mm and 8 mm glass?
The main difference lies in the glass thickness for which each sealing profile is designed. Many centre seals are suitable for glass thicknesses of 6–8 mm, whilst certain specialised profiles are designed exclusively for glass that is exactly 6 mm or 8 mm thick. You should therefore check the product specifications before purchasing to ensure that the seal fits securely onto the edge of the glass.
How do you fit a centre seal to a glass shower enclosure?
A centre seal can usually be easily fitted onto the edge of the shower door or the fixed glass panel. First, remove the old seal and clean the glass surface thoroughly. Then cut the new seal profile to the required length and carefully fit it in place. Special tools or adhesive are not usually required.
When do I need a centre seal with a long sealing lip?
A centre seal with a long sealing lip is advisable if the gap between the shower door and the fixed glass panel is too wide for a conventional centre seal. The extended, flexible sealing lip ensures a reliable seal even in larger gaps. The key factors here are the thickness of the glass, the size of the gap and the installation configuration of your glass shower enclosure.
