The seal was used in a shower cubicle with a glass door.
The seal seals very well. We have found that no water escapes from the shower even when the door is opened and closed a lot. This is particularly important for shower cubicles and shower doors in bathrooms with tiles or floor coverings.
Installing the seal was very easy. We were able to cut the seal to the desired length with a cutter knife and then simply insert it into the shower enclosure. This makes it a good choice for anyone who has no experience of fitting seals.
The seal is made of high-quality PVC material and is very durable. We have had no problems with the seal and are very happy with our purchase.
