When it comes to ensuring the longevity and durability of your shower, one often-overlooked hero emerges as silicone sealant. While showers are designed to withstand water, moisture, and daily use, without proper sealing, they can become vulnerable to leaks, water damage, and mould growth. Silicone sealants play a crucial role in safeguarding your shower, creating a watertight barrier that prevents moisture from seeping into the walls, floors, and surrounding areas. At GT Sealants, we specialise in providing high-quality silicone sealants that are specifically formulated for shower sealing applications. Our sealants not only offer superior waterproofing properties but also adhere firmly to various surfaces, ensuring long-lasting protection against leaks and water damage. With a wide range of colours to choose from, you can easily find the perfect match for your shower design, enhancing both aesthetics and functionality.

Application Tips for Optimal Results
Proper Surface Preparation: Before applying the silicone sealant, ensure that the surfaces are clean, dry, and free of any dust, dirt, grease, or old sealant residue. Use a suitable cleaner and allow the surfaces to dry completely before proceeding with the application.
Cutting the Nozzle at the Correct Angle: When cutting the nozzle of the silicone tube, aim for a 45-degree angle. This angle allows for precise application and ensures optimal control over the flow of the sealant.
Applying the Sealant in a Continuous Bead: Apply the silicone sealant in a continuous and uniform bead along the joint or seam to be sealed. Use steady pressure on the caulking gun to achieve a consistent flow and thickness of the sealant.
Tooling the Sealant for a Smooth Finish: After applying the sealant, use a caulking tool or a wet finger to drive the sealant into the joint, ensuring good contact with the surfaces and smoothing out any uneven areas. This step helps create a neat and professional-looking finish.
Allow Sufficient Curing Time: Allow the silicone sealant to cure fully according to the manufacturer’s instructions before exposing it to water or moisture. Curing times may vary depending on factors such as temperature, humidity, and the thickness of the sealant bead.
