Shower door seal on sloping floor

[themightyhippo]

We have a tiled shower which has a sloping floor to direct water to the drain. However, for one of the shower doors this means the door seal floats above the floor as it gets further from the wall (up to about 1 cm to the point where it meets the other glass panel).

Is there any way we can customise the door by adding new seals to prevent large amounts of water escaping underneath?

Any advice or tips much appreciated!

Has the door got a metal frame around the glass, or is it a hinged glass panel?

Yes - there is a metal frame for each panel that is fixed to the wall.

A photo of the way the door is fitted would be handy. Also the hinged area.

Some images here - one of the doors has a seal that is close to the floor but the other has a seal that is up to 2 cm at the furthest point from the hinge - because of the sloping tiles.

Maybe it can be customised by sticking a new seal on to the existing one? View media item 13098 View media item 13102 View media item 13101 View media item 13100 View media item 13099

Pic 3 - The door edge that sits in the wall bracket should meet the floor. The seal should be bent so that it forms a relatively tight seal to the floor. You need to lower this. There should be an adjustment on the top of the door where you can alter the angle that the door swings.
Still it seems that your floor has too much a gradient to have the seal cope but what I've said should help.
