For the tiled area, you can buy a roll of plastic strip 1.5" wide,
which is hinged down the centre (0.75" per surface). On the back
is a soft thick sealant. These work well if the surfaces are
clean and if they are applied by applying pressure with a roller
to squeeze the sealant tightly onto place.

Yup, works well - we've had that stuff in use for over 10 years
now.


Any idea what it's called?


Alas I'd have to say it's called utter rubbish. Sorry to disagree
with the two respected advisors, but IME it's completely useless.
I've replaced loads of it.


Isn't that a Good Thing?


Yes, if someone else has installed it & I get paid to replace it. No if I
install it & get called back because it leaks.
