Shower Panel Trims


Shower panel trims are essential accessories used in shower installations to provide a finished, polished look and to protect the edges and joints of shower panels. These trims come in various shapes and are designed to cover and protect the exposed edges, corners, and seams where shower panels meet walls, ceilings, or other panels. Here’s a description of different types of shower panel trims:

1. Edge Trim (End Cap)

  • Purpose: Used to cover the raw edges of shower panels where they terminate, such as at the end of a wall or around openings like windows or niches.
  • Function: Provides a neat, finished appearance while protecting the edges from water ingress and damage.
  • Material: Typically made from durable, water-resistant materials like PVC, aluminium, or stainless steel.
  • Installation: Slips over the edge of the panel and is secured with adhesive or screws, ensuring a tight, waterproof seal.

2. Internal Corner Trim

  • Purpose: Used where two shower panels meet at an internal corner, such as the corner where two walls intersect.
  • Function: Covers the joint between panels, preventing water from seeping behind the panels and providing a smooth, continuous look.
  • Material: Available in PVC, aluminium, or stainless steel, designed to resist moisture and corrosion.
  • Installation: Fits into the corner between two panels, often secured with adhesive or clips, ensuring the panels stay aligned and secure.

3. External Corner Trim

  • Purpose: Used where two shower panels meet at an external corner, creating a neat and durable edge.
  • Function: Protects the corner from damage and water penetration, while giving the corner a clean, sharp look.
  • Material: Made from water-resistant materials like aluminium, stainless steel, or high-quality PVC.
  • Installation: Fits over the corner where two panels meet and is usually attached with adhesive or screws for a secure fit.

4. H Divider Trim

  • Purpose: Used to join two shower panels side by side in a straight line, providing a continuous surface.
  • Function: Ensures a seamless connection between panels while allowing for slight movement due to expansion and contraction, preventing buckling.
  • Material: Typically made from durable, non-corrosive materials such as aluminium, PVC, or stainless steel.
  • Installation: Panels slide into the channels of the H profile, creating a tight, waterproof joint.
