|---|---|
The FC-116 is a U-shaped channel seal manufactured from EVA (ethylene-vinyl acetate) material. Designed for installation between glass panels and frame structures, this seal fills the gap between glass edges and aluminum or wooden frames to create a water-resistant barrier. The product comes in a clear transparent finish, allowing it to blend with various glass door and shower enclosure designs. Supplied in roll form, the FC-116 can be cut to any required length on site, which supports flexible project planning for commercial procurement teams.
This U-channel seal is primarily used in shower door applications where glass panels meet frame materials. Its U-shaped profile slides over the glass edge and sits within the frame channel, providing a cushioning layer that reduces glass-to-frame contact noise and prevents water from passing through the gap. The EVA material offers flexibility and resistance to water exposure, making it suitable for bathroom and wet-area installations.

The FC-116 features a U-shaped cross-section that fits over the edge of glass panels. The channel shape holds the glass edge securely while the outer walls of the U press against the frame material, creating a seal along the length of the installation. This design allows the seal to accommodate slight variations in glass thickness within its designed range.
EVA (ethylene-vinyl acetate) is the primary material used in the FC-116. This material provides a balance of flexibility and structural support for shower door sealing applications. The clear transparent appearance of the EVA material ensures that the seal remains visually unobtrusive when installed on glass doors. EVA material resists water absorption and maintains its physical properties under typical bathroom temperature and humidity conditions.
The inner walls of the U-channel incorporate small barb-like ridges that grip the glass surface. These ridges help hold the seal in position without requiring adhesive, which simplifies the installation process and allows for removal or repositioning if needed. The barb design distributes holding pressure along the length of the seal rather than concentrating it at specific points.
The primary application of the FC-116 U seal is on shower doors and shower enclosures where glass panels are mounted in aluminum or wooden frames. The seal fills the gap between the glass edge and the frame channel to contain water within the shower area and reduce splashing outside the enclosure.
In commercial settings such as office buildings, hotels, and fitness facilities, the FC-116 can be used on glass partition walls where glass panels meet frame structures. The clear material maintains the visual openness of glass partitions while providing a cushioning seal at the frame interface.
The FC-116 is also suitable for glass doors on cabinets, display cases, and furniture pieces where glass edges sit within frame channels. It helps reduce rattling and provides a finished appearance at the glass-frame junction.
Before installation, measure the glass thickness and the gap between the glass and the frame to confirm compatibility with the FC-116 seal dimensions. Cut the seal to the required length using standard cutting tools.
Position the U-channel of the FC-116 over the glass edge and press firmly along the length until the seal is fully seated. The barb structures on the inner walls hold the seal in place. No adhesive is required for standard installations. The seal can be adjusted or repositioned by sliding it along the glass edge before final seating.
The FC-116 U seal is designed for specific glass thickness ranges. Refer to the specification sheet or contact the supplier with your glass thickness measurement to confirm model compatibility.
No adhesive is required for standard FC-116 installation. The barb structures on the inner walls of the U-channel grip the glass surface and hold the seal in place. This tool-free installation approach reduces installation time and allows for repositioning if needed.
Yes, the FC-116 is designed for use with both aluminum and wooden frame structures. The EVA material provides a cushioning layer between the glass edge and the frame material, regardless of whether the frame is aluminum or wood.
The FC-116 is supplied in roll form and can be cut to any required length. This allows for custom sizing based on specific project requirements. Contact the supplier for standard roll length options and minimum order quantities for commercial procurement.
