Finding the right shower screen seal can be more difficult than you imagine. You need to know a little about your current shower set up. This isn’t particularly difficult, the problem may arise if you have a very old shower system.
There is no need to fret if this is your situation because most of what I am about to show you will still apply.
It is so annoying isn’t it when your shower screen seal begins to go? You start to see those little puddles of water on your bathroom floor. Well it is really easy to sort out and this is especially the case if you need rubber seal.
You can buy a shower screen seal kit online. The best place to buy is online because you can save a lot of money. Don’t be surprised to see a discount of as much as 40 – 50% just from a retailers online shop.
When you must know before ordering is the gap between the surfaces that you wish to seal. It is very important that the size that you buy is large enough to cover it otherwise you will be in exactly the same position as before!
When your shower screen seal kit arrives it is dead easy to install. All you need to do is pull your old seal off, use it as a guide to cut down the new seal then attach it.
It really is as simple as that and won’t take you long at all.
While it is easy don’t rush it. Make sure that you cut it down to the right size. If you cut it too small then you risk leaving a gap that can leak. It is always best to use your previous seal as a guide.
Now I mentioned earlier that if you have an old set up then you may have some issues. In fact this happened to me. While most seals are now universal it is best to check how similar it is to your current one. If you are unsure then ask. While they aren’t expensive it is always better to know upfront.
Just before we provide you with the best places to by your shower seal we want to raise an issue about glass seals. While rubber is the most common you can have a glass seal. If you have then it is even more crucial to get the exact size. You just can’t afford to get it wrong as there isn’t the flexibility that comes with rubber.
Well that was our brief intro into the world of the shower screen seal. There will be more to follow so stay tuned.
