Hollow-chamber seals – versatile
Hollow-chamber seals can be used to create a seal between doors, glass panels or walls. They are versatile and, in suitable shower installations, allow the doors to open both inwards and outwards. A hollow-chamber seal features a flexible, hollow sealing section that can be compressed upon contact with the opposing element. This allows the seal to adapt to the gap and makes it suitable for various applications in glass shower enclosures.
Choosing the right seal
Several criteria are crucial for determining the right hollow-chamber seal for your shower: the installation situation, the glass thickness, the gap width and the depth of the glass. Firstly, you should consider where the hollow-chamber seal is to be fitted. Depending on the installation situation, different designs may be suitable. Next, you need to measure the glass thickness as accurately as possible. At Duschdichtungsprofile.de, you’ll find suitable seal profiles for glass thicknesses of 4, 5, 6 and 8 mm. In addition to the glass thickness, the correct gap width also plays an important role. It determines whether the flexible sealing area adequately bridges the existing gap and thus protects against splashing water and moisture. Various sizes and designs of hollow-chamber seals are therefore available to suit different gap dimensions. In our online shop, you’ll also find suitable accessories such as spacer bars, towel rails and the right care products.
Practical functionality and personalised design combined
Our classic hollow-chamber seal consists of two PVC components: a harder section to hold the glass pane in place and a softer, flexible sealing section. This combination ensures that the profile sits securely on the glass pane, whilst the softer section can adapt to the specific installation conditions. We offer the hollow-chamber seals in three different colours: chrome, black and clear. This allows you to select the seal profile to match the individual look of your glass shower enclosure, combining functionality with a modern design.
Getting the cut right is crucial
To ensure that the shower seal fits your shower perfectly, choosing the right length is crucial. Our hollow-chamber seals are therefore available in various lengths and can be selected and adapted to suit the specific installation situation. Are you unsure about how to fit your shower seal correctly? Our video installation guide provides practical advice on fitting and replacing your shower seal profiles.
What is a hollow-chamber seal used for in a shower?
Hollow-chamber seals can be used, amongst other things, between a shower door and a fixed glass panel, between door panels, or between glass and a wall. The flexible sealing section helps to seal the gap against splash water.
What sort of hollow-chamber seal do I need for my shower?
The correct cavity seal depends in particular on the installation situation, the glass thickness, the gap width and the required glass recess. These values should be determined as accurately as possible before purchase.
How do I determine the correct gap dimension for a hollow-chamber seal?
The gap dimension refers to the distance between the elements that are to be sealed by the hollow-chamber seal. The sealing area must be able to bridge this gap sufficiently. The gap dimension should therefore be measured accurately before selecting the seal.
For which glass thicknesses are double-glazing gaskets available?
At Duschdichtungsprofile.de, you will find hollow-chamber seals for various glass thicknesses. Depending on the model, suitable seal profiles are available for glass panes 4, 5, 6 and 8 mm thick.
Can a hollow-chamber seal be cut to size and fitted by oneself?
Depending on the model, hollow-chamber seals can be cut to the required length and then fitted to the relevant glass edge. Please ensure you follow the relevant product and fitting instructions. A video tutorial is available for further assistance.
