Aqualux used to be a well-known UK bathroom brand, but it went into administration in 2024.
Maybe your bathroom still has an Aqualux shower, and now you’re looking for the right shower door seal to fit it.
In this article, we’ll show you how to pick the right Aqualux shower screen seal for your bathroom—easy, simple, and without the guesswork.
Aqualux Shower Screen Bottom Seal
From our research, most Aqualux shower screen bottom seals from suppliers only come with a bulb seal.
At first, it looks pretty standard. But honestly, we don’t recommend using it at the bottom.
Over time, the bulb can build up mould inside, and it’s really hard to clean.
It also makes opening and closing the door tricky, and wears out quickly.
Many end up replacing it in just a few months, sometimes less than a year.
So if you want something durable, leak-proof, and easy to clean, the bulb seal really isn’t the best choice.
Alternatives for Aqualux Shower Screen Bottom Seals
So, what other seals work with an Aqualux shower?
We recommend three types, depending on your setup.
1. Standard Bottom Seal
Comes with a drip rail, the most common and widely used type.
Best for showers with a flat bath edges.
Works best when paired with a threshold seal for complete waterproofing.
Our threshold seals come with self-adhesive backing, making installation easy
2.U-Shaped Seal Strip with Extended Fin
If you don’t have much space at the bottom, or if you already have a threshold strip that sits directly under the glass, then the standard bottom seal won’t be the best fit.
In this case, a U-shaped seal with an extended fin works much better.
It’s not only ideal for showers that already have a threshold, but also for doors with very small gaps where other seals won’t fit properly.
3. Universal Adhesive Seal
This is a stick-on bottom seal—just peel and stick, and you’re done.
It’s perfect for anyone who still struggles with installation, even with clear instructions.
Pushing the seal up from the bottom takes a bit of effort, and not everyone finds it easy.
Is this the quick fix you’ve been looking for?
Side Aqualux Shower Screen Seal
For the side of an Aqualux shower screen, we usually recommend using a magnetic seal.
It gives the best watertight fit, though it does cost a little more.
If you want a more budget-friendly option, an H-shaped shower door seal is also a good choice and still provides solid protection against leaks.
For sliding doors, the better option is an F-shaped seal.
Just keep in mind that sliding doors normally need two F-seals working together to achieve a proper seal.
How to Choose the Right Aqualux Shower Seal
Want to get the right Aqualux shower seal? Here are a few simple steps to follow:

Measure up: Start by checking the glass thickness and the gap size on your shower screen.
