Vellure Curved Shower Screen Seal Strip – Premium Bottom Seal for 6 mm Glass (±1 mm), Up to 12 mm Gap, Universal up to 90 cm
Product description
What this is
The Vellure Curved Shower Screen Seal Strip is a premium, bottom-shousing seal designed to keep bathroom floors dry by directing water back into the tray. It’s aimed at standard UK glass thicknesses and works with curved glass doors, shower enclosures and bath screens. The strip is made from clear PVC, offering a discreet look that blends with most bathroom decors. It’s trimmed to fit and features a flexible universal grip that tolerates minor variations in glass thickness.
How it works in practice
On installation day, you measure and cut the strip to your required length (up to 90 cm) and push it onto the clean glass edge. The design requires no glue, drilling or tools, and the PVC grip is intended to hold firmly from the outset. The double-lip water barrier plus a bottom fin helps redirect water back into the tray, reducing puddles and the slip risk that can follow a shower.
What’s good about it
On the page, the key points are a +/- 1 mm tolerance, which helps minimise measuring errors. The seal’s transparency means it remains unobtrusive, letting glass and hardware stay visually dominant. It’s described as durable and resistant to mould and lime, which can be a real advantage in damp, humid bathrooms.
What could be better
No product is perfect for every set-up. The effectiveness of a seal like this can depend on the exact shower configuration, door curvature, and how well the edge is prepared before fitting. If your glass edge is damaged, or if your configuration requires a seal that plugs into a recessed channel, this strip might not be the best fit. It also relies on a good initial press fit and a clean edge, if the edge isn’t prepared, the grip may be less secure.
Who this suits
This strip is well suited for households with standard UK glass thicknesses and curved shower doors or bath screens where you want a simple, tool-free retrofit. It’s a practical option if you prioritise avoiding water spray and want a low-cost upgrade to improve bathroom tidiness.
Who it may not be the best for
If your glass thickness significantly deviates from the standard range, or if you require a seal to integrate with a specific channel or surround, you might need a different profile. It’s not pitched as a high-end, custom-fit solution, so if you’re aiming for a premium, perfectly colour-matched fit, you may want to assess alternatives.
When is it worth buying
If you’re looking for a quick, no-fuss fix for preventing puddles on a walk-in shower or bathtub screen, and you value a transparent, low-profile look, this strip offers a pragmatic combination of flexibility and coverage (up to a 12 mm gap, universal up to 90 cm).
When to hold off
If your shower edge is irregular, or you need a seal designed for a non-standard thickness or a non-curved profile, this supply may not meet those specific needs. Also, if you expect to repeatedly remove and re-fit, you’ll want to check durability claims against your experience with similar PVC components.
What to check before buying
- Confirm your glass thickness is within the standard UK range and that the gap to be covered sits within the claimed 12 mm.
- Ensure the edge you’ll seal is clean and free of damage before installation.
- Plan for a measurement that allows up to 90 cm, and cut to length with a craft knife or junior hacksaw as described.
- Consider the look: as a clear PVC strip, it will be visually unobtrusive but not part of a high-end finish.
Practical usage example
Imagine a compact bathroom where the shower door is curved and the gap to the tray edge is modest. You cut the strip to 80 cm, press it onto the clean glass edge, and within minutes you notice fewer splashes reaching the floor after a shower. The finish remains understated, and the strip stays out of the way of daily cleaning tasks.
