Glass showers: Replacement for an 8mm shower lip seal
Glass showers: Replacement for 8mm shower lip seals
Glass showers are all the rage these days – their airy look means this type of shower remains one of the most popular options. 8mm shower lip seals are an integral part of the shower and, due to their almost daily contact with water, are subjected to increased wear and tear. They are affected by factors such as hard water, and aggressive cleaning products can also cause the plastic lips to become brittle and prone to breaking. Replacements are needed – available from the Duschdichtungsprofile.de online shop. You can find the shop at www.duschdichtungsprofile.de. You’ll find 8mm shower lip seals for glass showers, as well as care products and accessories, here.
Shower tray seals – Keeping the water in the shower
8mm shower lip seals for a glass shower, like all other lip seals, serve to keep water inside the shower whilst you’re showering. If they fail to do so, the risk of slipping is significantly higher. This increases the risk of injury – something that needn’t happen. A faulty shower lip seal should therefore be replaced as soon as possible.
Here at Duschdichtungsprofile.de, we provide the replacement – in our online shop, we show you a wide variety of seals. You can find these either by the shape of the shower or by the position of the shower lip seals. If you cannot find a suitable shower lip seal straight away, you can use our configurator to find the right one. In just a few steps, customers are guided through the process to a completed order – to do this, the required details are entered step by step and a shower lip seal is suggested.
Care and cleaning
To ensure the proper care and cleaning of your 8mm shower lip seals for a glass shower enclosure, we offer a range of care and cleaning products in our online shop. Gentle cleaning with non-aggressive cleaning products, in particular, significantly extends the lifespan of the shower lip seals. This prevents the plastic from becoming brittle and porous too quickly.
With the right care, your shower will also retain its shine for a long time – gentle cleaning is really key here. Our tip: have a look at the YouTube video on how to fit the shower lip seals yourself. We’re happy to share our expert knowledge – and you can easily fit the seal yourself. We also have a range of accessories for your glass shower – including practical towel rails that can be fitted without any drilling at all. In terms of design, these also blend in perfectly with the glass shower.
For which showers is an 8 mm shower lip seal suitable?
A shower lip seal for 8 mm glass is suitable for glass showers and shower doors with a glass thickness of 8 mm. It is often fitted to the bottom edge or the side of the glass door to prevent water from splashing out.
How do I find the right 8 mm shower seal?
As well as the glass thickness, the profile shape, installation position and gap size are also important. You should therefore check whether the seal is to be fitted at the bottom, at the side or between two glass elements.
Can I replace an 8 mm shower tray seal myself?
Yes, many shower lip seals can simply be peeled off the edge of the glass and replaced with a new profile. Before fitting, the edge of the glass should be clean and free of any residue.
Can I trim the shower lip seal to the correct length?
Yes, many shower seals can be cut to size. Measure the required length carefully beforehand and cut the profile cleanly and straight.
When should a shower tray seal be replaced?
It is advisable to replace the seal if it is brittle, torn, discoloured or misshapen, or if water is leaking from under or beside the shower door. A new, suitable seal can restore the glass shower’s watertightness.
