AquaStrap FAQ's


Q.1 What is Aquastrap?
Aquastrap is a flexible up-stand seal that is stuck onto the outside walls of shower trays (and baths) before final location against adjacent walls. When installed, the up-stand is stuck between the bathroom wall and tile with a silicone joint kept between the bottom edge of the tile and ledge.

Q.2 When should I use Aquastrap instead of a Shower Strip or Trim?
Aquastrap is designed for new shower tray installations in a bathroom or wetroom. It is installed before you tile your shower cubicle. If you prefer not to see a plastic sealing strip below your tiles then Aquastrap is an ideal sealing solution. Please see our simple Aquastrap installation video or a thoroughly waterproof shower tray install and the rest is easy.

Q.3 Why does Aquastrap have an 'Isolating Cord'?
To conform with codes of practice in regard to material compatibility. Sealants can react aggressively with polymeric materials such as EPDM and butyl adhesives.

Q.4 Why use Sealux-N silicone?
Sealux-N is a high performance Silicone, the only silicone recommended by Sealux for use with their sealing systems.

Q.5 Do I need to use PTFE tape on AquaStrap?
No, there is no need to use PTFE tape with Aquastrap, the pre-installed alignment cord eliminates the necessity of using tape.
