The sealing strips of sliding door shower enclosures usually need to be installed at the following key locations to ensure water tightness and prevent water vapor from leaking:
The joint between the door frame and the wall: This is the most common installation location. The sealing strip is installed along the edge of the door frame of the shower room to ensure that the door can fit tightly with the wall when closed.
Bottom of the sliding door: In order to prevent water from flowing out from the bottom of the door, a sealing strip is usually installed at the bottom of the sliding door. This sealing strip may be fixed or height-adjustable and movable to adapt to different usage conditions. .
Top of Sliding Door: In some designs, a seal is also installed on the top of the door to prevent water from escaping from the top.
Seams between doors: If the shower room design includes multiple sliding doors, seals will also need to be installed at the seams where the doors touch each other.
Corners: The corners of the shower room are places where water easily penetrates, so L-shaped or corner-shaped sealing strips need to be installed to enhance the sealing effect.
Seams between fixed glass and movable doors: If the shower room design includes a combination of fixed glass and movable sliding doors, the seams between the two will also require sealing strips.
Around the drain: To prevent water from escaping around the drain, sealing strips are sometimes installed around the drain.
Shower room threshold: If the shower room has a threshold design, sealing strips are also required where the threshold contacts the floor to prevent water from flowing out of the shower room.
When installing sealing strips, you need to ensure:
Correct installation: The sealing strip needs to be installed correctly in the intended location to ensure its functionality.
Regular inspection: Regularly check whether the sealing strip is firm and whether it is peeled off or damaged.
Timely replacement: Once the sealing strip is found to be aged or damaged, it should be replaced in time to maintain the sealing performance of the shower room.
By installing sealing strips at these key locations, the water tightness of the sliding door shower enclosure can be greatly improved, creating a dry and comfortable shower environment.
