All the windows and polycarbonate roofing panels on my 20 year old uPVC
conservatory are held in by uPVC glazing beads, fitted with rubber a sealing
strip which has quite a complex cross-section - see
http://www.mills37.plus.com/Glazing_seal.JPG

These rubber strips have all shrunk such that the roof sometimes leaks. It
doesn't always do it - it depends on wind direction - but is nevertheless
annoying. I would like to replace the rubber strips, but don't know where to
get replacements. I'm not quite sure of the correct description for them,
which makes Goggling difficult!

I would be very grateful for any help both in namimg them correctly and in
suggesting suppliers who might be able to supply this stuff. The original
conservatory suppliers have long gone out of business, so I can't ask them!
I have a feeling that they got their materials from Germany at the time, but
I'm not certain of that. As far as size goes, the max horizontal dimension
(in the orientation of my photo) is about 20mm and vertical 9mm.

TIA.

Have a look here. http://www.coh-baines.co.uk/
They are willing to send a sample if you ask.
I have used them for about 30+ years. They are the "Experts" in rubber
extrusions.

Yes, thanks - and to Andrew!

I have contacted them and they are sending me a sample.

Thanks for the link. I can't see quite the right thing in their on-line
catalogue, but I've emailed them - so we'll see what transpires.

Have a look at www.hdhardware.co.uk I used them recently to replace some
perished gasket (this is the term used). It wasn't an exact match, but
did the job. They will send samples, but make a small charge for it.

Many thanks for the link. They have a lot of likely looking candidates, so I
am hopeful. I have emailed them, but have not yet had a reply.

I have also contacted *their* supplier (Euroseal) - who are sending me a
sample of the most likely candidate.

Blimey - where did you dig that up from - it was 10 years ago!

I subsequently found that my conservatory uses two different seal
sections. I was able to obtain suitable replacements for both from
Euroseal in Perry Barr, Birmingham - but it was made to order and I had
to buy a whole (150 metres, I think) tub of each.

I've just looked on the Euroseal website, and they still exist - but I
can't see that type of product. They only seem to do rigid plastic these
days.

I still have quite a lot left - where are you?
