There seems to be mixed opinion regarding where to Silicon a shower screen.

My personal view was "external edges" to prevent water getting trapped thus giving it a path back into the tray

Any and all answers appreciated.

Is it :-

A. External edges
B: Internal edges
C: Both.
D: none of the above.


Regards.

External as suggested/ recommended by most of the shower manufacturers. If you silicon inside, where does the water go that hits the door?.

 

[Dougs Third Go]

yep, external for me too

If only that was an option. It's my own shower with no one else to blame.

Doesn't matter where you think it should go, always follow what the shower enclosure manufacturer says.

sometimes inside, sometimes outside, sometimes inside and then a couple of inches up from the bottom outside.

do as the manufacture recommends as any thing else will void any kind of warenty

External.........

If left to the plumber........it'll be external, internal, up the wall......over the screen, and then on the door frame.

I've yet to meet a plumber that does his own Silicon, usless divas. I've stopped doing it for them unless they give me 1000 kroner (bout £100) in cash first. Don't know if they con the painter into doing it, or employ someone, don't care either. Still to this day not had my £100 out of one.
