Sealing strips for a shower door – finding replacements
Seal strips for a shower door – buy spare parts online
We usually only realise how important seal strips are for a shower door when they’re faulty. These strips serve to keep splash water inside the shower, so to speak. If they’re brittle or leaking, the water flows unhindered into the bathroom whilst you’re showering – a ‘flood’ is guaranteed, which is a nuisance and, in most cases, could easily be prevented.
Here at Duschdichtungsprofile.de, we’ve put together a wide selection of sealing strips for our customers in our online shop. We offer these online – backed by a wealth of expert knowledge, support and advice. We have also integrated a ‘configurator’ into our shop. This configurator guides you step by step through the process of selecting the right strips right through to the completed order, which you should then receive straight away. Here, too, we prioritise reliability and dependability – to ensure our customers are satisfied.
Find replacements for sealing strips
A sealing strip in a shower door is essential every time the shower is used – it is designed to keep splash water out, ensure the shower is ‘watertight’, and keep the water where it can drain away easily: namely, inside the shower. Over time, even the highest-quality plastic can be damaged by constant use: the material becomes brittle, partly due to frequent contact with water, which – particularly if it has a high limescale content – can have a virtually corrosive effect. Shower gel, soap and shampoo also play their part in shortening the lifespan of such a strip.
Every time you clean it with harsh cleaning products, the strip is further damaged and deteriorates. Once the sealing strip for the shower door is defective, it should be replaced quickly. You can find a replacement in our online shop at www.duschdichtungsprofile.de. You can also use our configurator, which guides you step by step through the ordering process.

Frequently asked questions about sealing strips for shower doors
What sort of seal do I need for my shower door?
The type of seal strip suitable for your shower door depends on the installation situation. Key factors include the thickness of the glass, the position of the seal, the profile shape and the existing gap width. Depending on whether the seal is required at the bottom or on the side of the shower door, different seal profiles may be suitable.
How do I find the right seal strip for my shower door?
If possible, start by removing the old sealing strip and determining the glass thickness. Then compare the shape and dimensions of the old profile with the technical drawings of the shower seals on offer. You can also use the configurator on Duschdichtungsprofile.de to find suitable profiles based on your shower.
How do I measure a seal strip for the shower door correctly?
Measure the glass thickness, the required length and, depending on the position, the existing gap between the shower door and the floor, the shower tray or the adjacent glass panel. If there is a bottom sealing strip, the shower door should be closed when measuring the gap. This makes it easier to determine which sealing lip is required.
Can I replace the seal on my shower door myself?
Yes, many seal strips for shower doors can be replaced by the user. Clip-on profiles can often be simply peeled off the edge of the glass. Then clean the edge of the glass thoroughly and fit the new seal – which is suitable for the thickness of the glass – in the correct orientation.
When should the seal on a shower door be replaced?
Replacement is recommended if the sealing strip is brittle, porous, torn or heavily discoloured. Another sign is water leaking from under or beside the shower door. In this case, you should also check whether the seal is still fitted correctly and whether the profile used matches the existing gap dimensions.
