Sealing strip for a folding bath screen – found quickly online

It’s impossible to imagine a bathroom without a bath or shower these days. It’s simply too lovely to be able to step under a warm shower in your own personal spa in the morning and start the day feeling refreshed. Glass partitions around both the shower and the bath ensure that the water stays where it belongs – namely in the bath and shower. Over time, however, the sealing profiles on the partition can suffer damage: from hard water or harsh cleaning products, or from shampoo or shower gel residues. Here at Duschdichtungsprofile.de, we have a wide selection of sealing profiles for folding bath screens available for you in our online shop. This means you can order a worn-out sealing profile from us and even replace it yourself. We also stock accessories and care products.

Four steps to creating your profile: the configurator

A beautiful all-glass shower is a real eye-catcher – but if you have a bath in your bathroom rather than a shower, you don’t have to miss out on this convenience. With a folding bath screen, your bath can be converted into a shower facility at a later date. A folding partition can even increase the area available for showering in the bath.
Here, too, our unique configurator – which we can show you online – will help you. Four steps to finding the right sealing profile for your folding bath screen – you can do this on our online shop’s homepage. First, select the basic shape (the bath). Then choose the door style and opt for folding doors. In step 3, select the shower solution – you’ll then be taken to step 4, where you choose the sealing profile based on the position where it’s to be fitted. Make sure you check the correct glass thickness for your partition, otherwise the two components won’t fit together.

Do-it-yourself installation – fitting the sealing strip

Fitting a seal profile for your folding bath door yourself is no problem at all. In the ‘Expert Advice and Help’ section, we show you how to do it. As well as a video on the installation process, we’ve included further tips, such as how to measure a shower seal without any measuring tools, or how to measure and cut a seal. You can also download these instructions as a PDF.

Frequently asked questions about sealing profiles for folding bath screens

Which sealing profile do I need for my folding bath screen?

The correct sealing profile depends on its position on the folding bath screen, the thickness of the glass and the design of the individual elements. Depending on whether the seal is required at the bottom edge, between two folding glass elements or at the side, different sealing profiles may be suitable.

How do I find a suitable replacement seal for an older folding bath screen?

Even if the manufacturer or model of the folding bath screen is no longer known, it is often possible to find a suitable replacement profile. If possible, remove the old profile and compare its shape and dimensions with the technical drawings of the seals on offer. You can also use the configurator on Duschdichtungsprofile.de to help with your search.

How do I measure a sealing profile for a folding bath screen correctly?

First, determine the glass thickness and the required length of the profile. If using a bottom seal, the distance between the glass panel and the edge of the bath is also important. For seals between the folding panels, you should also take into account the installation situation and the existing gap dimensions.

Can I replace the sealing strip on a folding bath screen myself?

Many seal profiles can be replaced by the user. Snap-on profiles can often be peeled away from the edge of the glass and replaced with a suitable new seal. Before doing so, clean the edges of the glass thoroughly to remove limescale and other residues, and ensure the profile is correctly aligned during fitting.

When should the sealing strip on a folding bath screen be replaced?

It is advisable to replace the seal if the profile is brittle, torn, misshapen or heavily discoloured. The seal should also be checked if water leaks between the folding panels or around the edge of the bath whilst showering. At the same time, check whether the profile is still fitted correctly and fits the existing gap dimensions.
