Sealing Lip for a Glass Shower Door

A sealing lip for a glass shower door can be found in our online shop. We offer a wide selection of shower profiles for our customers.

Hard water and strong cleaning agents can damage plastic sealing lips over time. This can cause the material to become brittle or even crack. Due to constant contact with water during showering, which can happen several times a day, the sealing lips do suffer – however, with gentle cleaners and care products this can be prevented or at least delayed. However, if you do need a new sealing lip for a glass shower, you can order one from us.

Frequently asked questions about sealing strips for glass shower doors

What sort of sealing strip do I need for my glass shower door?

The correct sealing lip depends on its position on the shower door, the thickness of the glass and the gap to be sealed. Depending on whether the seal is fitted at the bottom or on the side of the glass door, different seal profiles may be suitable. You should also take note of the shape and dimensions of the existing profile.

How do I measure the correct seal for my shower door?

First, remove the old seal and measure the thickness of the glass pane. If there is a lower sealing lip, you should also measure the gap between the closed shower door and the floor or shower tray. This gap measurement is important for selecting the correct length of the sealing lip.

How is a sealing lip fitted to a glass door?

Many seal profiles for glass doors are simply fitted onto the edge of the glass and do not require any additional adhesive. Before fitting, the edge of the glass should be thoroughly cleaned of limescale, dirt and other residues. Please follow the fitting instructions for the relevant seal profile.

Can a shower seal that is too long be cut to size?

Where suitable sealing profiles are used, the sealing lip or the profile itself can be cut to the required length. It is important to ensure a clean and straight cut. You should check the relevant product and installation instructions to determine whether and how the profile in question can be shortened.

When should the seal on a shower door be replaced?

A sealing lip should be replaced if it is brittle, torn, misshapen or heavily discoloured. Water leaking from under or beside the shower door may also be a sign that the seal is worn or no longer fits properly. In this case, check not only the condition of the sealing lip but also that it is fitted correctly.
