U-Profiles with Gasket for Glass Partitions & Showers

The flush enclosure of glass edges is the primary application for the U-profile. G-Fittings provides sanitary installers, tilers, and interior fitters with enclosure profiles made of anodized aluminum. Whether used as a wall connection profile for office glazing or as a water-repellent shower partition profile: The systems allow for precise processing and serve as functional sealing solutions.

Easy Installation & Sealing for Fabricators

Compared to clamping glazing, the U-profile features a slim design and time-efficient processing on the construction site – especially in wet areas.

Aluminum U-Profile with Rubber Gasket: The Solution for Wet Rooms

In the sanitary sector, a permanent, mold-resistant seal is required. A U-profile with gasket (often designed as an insert or wedge gasket) can replace wet sealing with silicone. The aluminum U-profile with rubber gasket firmly secures the glass pane (e.g., TSG) in the frame, compensates for tolerances, and protects the glass edge from penetrating splash water.

Shower Partition Profile: Installation without Drilling

When installing a walk-in shower, there is a risk of damaging the waterproofing layer by drilling into tiles. The anodized shower partition profile offers a wide, smooth contact surface on the back, which is suitable for full-surface bonding with special adhesives. This allows sanitary partitions to be mounted without drill holes.

Frequently Asked Questions about U-Profiles (FAQ)

What is the purpose of the rubber gasket in the U-profile?

A U-profile with a rubber gasket fulfills three tasks: The gasket secures the glass in the profile, compensates for tolerances or thermal expansion, and protects the glass edge from impacts and water ingress in sanitary areas.

Can the U-profile for shower partitions be glued (without drilling)?

Yes, particularly on tiled walls or floors, the shower partition profile is often fully surface-glued using a mounting adhesive suitable for wet rooms. This prevents damage to tiles and waterproofing layers.

Are the aluminum U-profiles rustproof and suitable for wet rooms?

Yes. The aluminum U-profiles are anodized or powder-coated. This surface treatment makes the profile resistant to corrosion, water, and cleaning agents, qualifying it for use as a shower profile.
