Collection: Vertical Side Shower Door Seals

Shop replacement vertical shower door seals for leaking side gaps, glass-to-glass joints, and framed or frameless shower doors.

Choosing the right vertical shower door seal depends on three key checks: your glass thickness, the side clearance gap, and the opening angle of your enclosure. Because vertical shower seal strips sit on moving door edges or glass-to-glass joints, the right fit can help reduce side leaks, door movement, and poor closure.

1. The Measurement Essentials

Before choosing a replacement vertical shower door seal strip, confirm your glass thickness — usually 4mm, 5mm, 6mm, 8mm, 10mm, or 12mm. Then measure the gap between the glass edge and the wall, frame, or adjacent glass panel in millimetres.

2. Matching the Profile to Your Enclosure

The correct vertical seal profile depends on how your shower door closes:

Pivot or hinged shower doors: For frameless doors that swing open, an H-shape vertical seal or bulb seal with a flexible fin can help close the side gap between the glass and wall, frame, or fixed panel.

180-degree glass-to-glass joins: To bridge the gap between two inline panels, an H-shape seal or magnetic strip set can help create a secure closure.

135-degree angled enclosures: Angled corner showers need a dedicated 135-degree seal profile so the strip follows the angle of the glass correctly.

90-degree corner shower enclosures: A 90-degree magnetic shower door seal is usually needed where two glass doors or panels meet at a right angle.

3. Check Before You Order

If you are replacing a worn vertical shower door seal strip, remove a small section of the old seal and compare its cross-section with the product images. Matching the profile shape is often the easiest way to choose the correct replacement, especially for framed doors, hinged doors, and older shower enclosures.

How to Fit a Vertical Shower Door Seal

Installing a vertical shower door seal is straightforward and requires no specialist tools.

First, remove the old seal by gently pulling it away from the glass edge.

Clean the glass surface with warm soapy water to remove any residue or limescale deposits.

Push the new seal onto the glass edge, starting from the top and working downward, ensuring the rigid U-channel grips the glass firmly.

If the seal is longer than required, mark the desired length and trim with sharp scissors or a craft knife for a precise cut to size.

For magnetic seals, align both strips on opposing glass panels to confirm correct polarity before final fitting.

Finding the Perfect Vertical Shower Door Seal for Your Enclosure

Water leaking through the vertical gaps of your shower is often caused by more than just a worn strip. It can also be affected by the door type, glass alignment, closing angle and the size of the gap. Whether you are dealing with a 90-degree corner joint on a quadrant enclosure or an 180-degree inline glass-to-glass overlap on a sliding door, the right vertical shower door seal should help close the gap without obstructing the door’s motion.

At SIMBA, we understand that “universal” fixes rarely suit every UK bathroom, where hard water, daily use and constant moisture can all affect shower seals over time.

As a manufacturer-direct supplier with experience since 1998, we can help match many older and current vertical shower door seal profiles, including options for framed, frameless and glass-to-glass enclosures. Our vertical shower door seals are made from clear PVC and are quality checked before dispatch for profile, finish and overall condition.
