Shower Seal Installation Guide
Fitting a New Shower Seal for your glass shower screen or bath screens.
Our shower & bath seals use "memory technology" to remember the original shape. This makes for a more robust & efficient seal giving a much longer working life.

Installation instruction for fitting onto a straight screen
-
ensure the seal is the correct size for the glass thickness
-
ensure that the gap you are trying to bridge is not so great or small that the seal does no good or is too tight & as such slips off
-

Installation instruction for fitting onto a curved screen
-
All of our seals can fit onto curved screen but the following procedure needs to be followed:
-
Place your length of seal in a bath w hot bath water (not water from a kettle)
-
Allow the hot water to soften the seal so that it is pliable to the touch.
-
When pliable place seal onto shower door & hold in place until cooled completely.
-
When cooled completely it should stay in place.
-
If your curved screen has an acute curve to it you might need to place silicone sealant in the seal before placing onto your screen.
-
If step 1. is not done at the correct temperature of water (65 to 75 degree only) & step 2. not done for long enough (10 mins); this procedure will not work & neither we nor the manufacturer will be held responsible.
If you have any trouble fitting your shower seal please try these additional steps:
-
Immerse the seal in hot water 80-85 degrees C for minimum of 20 minutes. (ensure the seal is completely immersed under the water by placing an object to hold & keep it under the water.)
-
Bend the seal by hand to shape & place on the door while still warm/hot.
-
Apply high quality silicone sealant to seal.
-
Or use our Professional Silicone Sealant 300ml
-
Place seal onto the door & hold in place until it has cooled. (if necessary get another person to assist in this)
