This innovative seal is designed to provide a secure and watertight seal that enhances the functionality and aesthetics of frameless glass structures. Made from durable materials, it offers excellent flexibility and resistance to the elements. Whether it's a glass shower enclosure, balcony railing or other frameless glazing project, rely on our U-Seal for reliable performance and long-lasting protection.
2. The main characteristics of the product
Tight fit sealing: The unique U-shape design can tightly fit the edges of the frameless glass, effectively fill the gaps between the glass and other components (such as metal frames, walls, floors, etc.), forming a reliable sealing barrier, preventing the leakage and intrusion of water, dust, air and other substances, ensuring the isolation of indoor and outdoor environments, and providing stable sealing for the application of the frameless glass to prolong its service life, and enhance the overall performance and comfort. overall performance and comfort.
Excellent flexibility: with good flexibility, it can adapt to the thermal expansion and contraction of frameless glass under different environmental conditions as well as the slight displacement and deformation that may occur without rupture, breakage or loss of sealing effect. This flexibility makes the seals always maintain close contact with the glass and good sealing state under various working conditions, effectively buffer the impact of external stress on the sealing part, reduce the risk of sealing failure due to the rigidity of the material, and ensure the long-term stability and safety of the frameless glass structure.
Durable material selection: high-quality rubber or silicone materials with excellent weather resistance, aging resistance and abrasion resistance can withstand long-term UV radiation, high temperature, low temperature, humidity and other harsh environmental factors, is not easy to deformation, hardening, cracking or discolouration and other problems, maintain good physical and chemical properties, so as to provide durable and reliable sealing protection for the frameless glass, reduce maintenance costs and replacement frequency, is a cost-effective and practical way of sealing the frameless glass structure. It is an economical and practical sealing solution with excellent performance.
Easy Installation: Designed with the user's DIY convenience in mind, it usually adopts simple and easy installation methods such as bayonet type, sticking type or embedded type, which requires no complicated tools and professional technical skills. Users only need to follow the steps in the product manual to correctly place or fix the seals in the corresponding position, the installation process can be easily completed, saving installation time and cost, convenient and quick to achieve the sealing treatment of frameless glass, so that ordinary users can also easily deal with the installation and maintenance of frameless glass.
3. Product use scene
Balcony frameless glass balustrade: For balcony frameless glass balustrade system, seals play a crucial role. It can be installed in the glass and railing handrails, glass and ground or wall connection parts, not only can enhance the structural stability of the balustrade, to prevent the glass from loosening or falling off due to wind, vibration and other factors, but also effectively block rain, dust, sand and other factors into the interior of the balcony, to protect the indoor furniture, electrical appliances and decorations from the erosion of the outside world, while keeping the balcony permeable and clean, to provide an open, bright and comfortable outdoor recreation space for the user. At the same time, it keeps the balcony transparent and clean, provides users with an open, bright and comfortable outdoor leisure space, improves the quality and safety of the living environment, and allows users to enjoy the beauty of the outdoors and fresh air to their heart's content.
4. Product use instructions
Preparation before installation:
Firstly, carefully check the appearance of the U-shape frameless glass seals for any defects such as breakage, deformation, cracks, etc., to ensure that the product quality is intact and undamaged. At the same time, check whether the specification and size of the seals are compatible with the frameless glass to be installed, and if necessary, carry out trial installation in advance to ensure that the seals can closely fit the glass edges and achieve a good sealing effect.
Prepare appropriate installation tools, such as scissors, cleaning cloth, glue gun (for adhesive seals), screwdriver (for slot or recessed seals), etc., and make sure that the tools are clean, sharp and functioning properly, so as to avoid damaging the seals or the glass during the installation process.
Thoroughly clean the edges of the frameless glass and the surfaces of other parts in contact with the seals with a cleaning cloth to remove dust, oil, impurities, etc., and make sure that the surfaces are dry, flat and smooth to ensure that the seals can be firmly adhered (in case of stick-on type) or tightly embedded (in case of bayonet-type or embedded-type) to achieve the best sealing performance.
Installation Procedure:
In the case of adhesive U-shaped seals, first remove the protective paper on the back of the seal and, starting from the end of the glass edge, apply the seal slowly and evenly along the edge, making sure that the U-groove of the seal completely wraps around the edge of the glass and fits tightly into the surface of the glass without air bubbles, wrinkles or warping. During the process, you can use your fingers or a soft cloth to gently press the seal to make it stick more firmly, especially at the corners, pay attention to cut the seal at the right angle so that it can transition naturally and form a seamless connection.
In the case of slot seals, align the foot of the seal with the slot on the edge of the glass or other components and, starting from one end, gently snap the seal into the slot until it is fully seated. During the snap-in process, take care to keep the seal straight and stable to avoid bending or breaking the foot, and to ensure that the seal fits snugly in the slot with no looseness or gaps. For longer glass edges, the segments can be installed in sections to ensure a tight connection and no gaps between the seals in each section.
In case of embedded seals, according to the design and installation requirements of the seals, pre-cut the corresponding grooves on the glass edge or other parts, and then embed the seals carefully into the grooves to make them fit tightly with the bottom and sides of the grooves, and secure them firmly with appropriate tools (e.g., screwdriver), to ensure that the seals won't move or come off inside the grooves to form a stable sealing structure.
After the installation is completed, carry out a comprehensive inspection of the installation of the seals to check whether there are any parts that are missing, not firmly pasted or not seated in place, and if necessary, make appropriate adjustments and repairs to the seals to ensure that they are well sealed on the entire frameless glass structure without any defects or hidden dangers.
Precautions for use:
In daily use, avoid pulling, bumping or scraping the seals with force, so as not to cause damage or deformation of the seals and affect their sealing performance. At the same time, be careful to avoid contacting the seals with organic solvents, acids and alkalis and other corrosive substances, such as gasoline, alcohol, detergents, etc., so as not to lead to deterioration of the material, hardening or loss of elasticity, reducing the sealing effect. If inadvertently contacted with corrosive substances, they should be immediately rinsed out with water and the seals should be checked for damage and replaced if necessary.
Regularly check the sealing of frameless glass seals, especially after experiencing severe weather conditions such as seasonal changes, temperature fluctuations, strong winds and heavy rains, etc., carefully check whether the seals show signs of loosening, dislodging, cracking or aging. If problems are found, they should be repaired or replaced in a timely manner to ensure the safety and sealing of the frameless glass structure. For minor sealing problems, sealant or other suitable repair materials can be used for localised repair; for serious damage, it may be necessary to remove the original seals and reinstall new ones.
