Description
A glass seal or wipe (often called a seal strip / jamb seal / side wipe) is a flexible strip made of PVC, rubber, or similar material that slides onto the edge of a glass panel to help prevent water leakage, drafts, dust, and noise where two glass panels meet or where a glass door closes against a fixed panel or wall. These seals are widely used on frameless shower doors and glass partitions.
The term side wipe generally describes a seal that runs vertically along the side edge of a door or glass panel — typically the strike side (where the door closes against another panel) — to wipe water back into the shower and stop it escaping.
📏 Typical Sizes (Your Listing)
These sizes refer to glass thickness compatibility and length of the seal strip:
-
10 mm × 3 m – meant for 10 mm thick glass panels, 3 meters long
-
12 mm × 2.2 m – meant for 12 mm thick glass, 2.2 meters long
-
8 mm × 2.5 m – meant for 8 mm thick glass, 2.5 meters long
These lengths and thickness options let you choose the right seal based on your panel thickness and the installation height or application length.
🧰 How It Works
-
Material: Usually transparent or clear PVC/rubber or soft vinyl for flexibility.
-
Installation: Slips or clips over the edge of the glass — no complex tools needed; you can cut it to the exact length required.
-
Function:
• Forms a watertight barrier between glass and other surfaces
• Helps wipe water back toward the shower interior
• Reduces drafts, humidity transfer, and condensation
• Improves overall seal performance of a shower door or glass wall
