Learn how to choose a caravan window seal for fixed glass and channel applications based on glass thickness, channel size, profile geometry and sealing needs.
In caravans, the seals around the glass help both to hold the glass in place and to reduce the effects of water, dust and vibration. To choose the right product, consider not only the glass dimensions but also the geometry of the channel and frame in which the glass sits.
Which Dimensions Matter for a Caravan Window Seal?
The glass thickness, channel width, overall height of the profile and the way the glass sits against the body are the key dimensions. If an existing seal is available, a cross-section photo makes accurate matching easier.
Fixed Glass vs. Moving Glass
Fixed glass applications use profile geometries that surround the glass and seat into the body, while moving glass calls for glass run channel or wiper seal types. The same profile is not used for these two applications.
Outdoor Conditions
Because caravans are exposed to sunlight, rain, temperature changes and vibration, material selection is important. The profile should be expected to maintain its function not only at initial installation but also over long-term use.
For general information on glass profiles, see our guide What Is a Glass Seal?, and for the existing product group, our Glass Run Channel Seals page.
