Fitting a seal profile – with tips from the experts
Fitting seal profiles – it’s no problem at all with the tips and tricks from the experts at www.duschdichtungsprofile.de. Fitting and replacing a seal profile for your glass shower yourself is something that needs to be done from time to time. Many seal profiles become unsightly or even porous over time. Constant contact with water, shampoo and soap residue takes its toll, and the delicate plastic suffers as a result. Hard water is also a factor that isn’t good for seal profiles. What’s more, mould can form – so sound advice is needed. Here at Duschdichtungsprofile.de, we’ll help you fit a seal profile when it needs replacing.

Before ordering, make absolutely sure you know the glass thickness for which you need the seal profile, and don’t forget to check the length of the profile.

Frequently asked questions about fitting sealing profiles
How do I fit a seal profile to a glass shower enclosure?
Many seal profiles for glass shower enclosures are simply fitted onto the edge of the glass. First, remove the old profile and clean the edge of the glass thoroughly. Then cut the new seal profile to the required length and fit it evenly onto the glass.
What do I need to bear in mind before fitting a sealing profile?
The key factors are, above all, the glass thickness, the required length and the installation position. You should also check whether you need a horizontal or vertical sealing profile. The new profile must be suitable for the specific installation situation in your shower.
How can I cut a sealing strip to the correct length?
First, measure the required length directly on the glass panel. The seal profile can then be cut to size. Ensure that the cut is clean and straight so that the profile fits as precisely as possible and can seal reliably.
What can I do if the sealing strip is difficult to fit?
If the seal profile is difficult to slide onto the edge of the glass, lightly moistening it with water may make it easier to fit. Use only a small amount of water and take care not to apply excessive force when fitting the profile.
How do I find the right seal profile for my shower?
The choice depends, amongst other things, on the thickness of the glass, the shape of the shower, the position and the design of the required seal. If you are unsure which profile is suitable, you can use the configurator on Duschdichtungsprofile.de to select the right seal based on your installation situation.
