Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Shower profiles
Measuring is knowing
Â
1. Required:
- Folding rule / ruler and preferably also a caliper
- Your glass wall
- Common sense
2. To do:
- Measure the glass thickness (usually 6mm, can also be 5, 8 or 10mm)
- Measure the length of the glass (available in 100cm or 200cm)
- Determine whether the strip is horizontal or vertical
- View the shape of the glass (straight, quarter round or angled) see drawings below **
3. Ready!:
- Click here and apply the product filters.
**
Straight:
Angled (3- or 4- part pentagon), but yet straight profiles:
For the above 2 cabins you can choose right in the filter menu!
Quarter round:
Angled (2-part pentagon):
This cabin consists of 2 complete doors, whose glass is angled (kinked). For this wall we have all vertical shower rubbers and one horizontal leak profile.
We have been switched to multiple languages for our webshop. We have translated our pages with Google translate. It may be that the translation is not 100%, but you will definitely understand what we mean.
With several quarter-round pre-bent shower strips or strip sets, several rounds are available.
These curves are represented as Radius.
The curve of the shower tray is displayed; the curve of the strip has been adjusted accordingly.
Through the images below you can see how you can measure the roundness of the shower tray.
(It makes no sense to measure on the shower wall)
Possibility 1:
- Measure the size of the shower tray on the wall. (for example 900mm)
- Measure the straight part of the shower tray to where the curve starts. (for example 400mm)
- Apply this measure to the first measured size. (900-400 = 500)
The result is the radius. (500mm)
The wall size is often difficult to measure, because the shower wall is mounted on the shower tray.
This stands in the way, as it were.
The size can also vary slightly due to the thickness of the tile that has been placed above the shower tray.
Common sizes:
800mm - 300mm = radius 500
900mm - 400mm = radius 500
1000mm - 500mm = radius 500
800mm - 250mm = radius 550
900mm - 350mm = radius 550
1000mm - 450mm = radius 550
Possibility 2 :
Place 2 straight (!) Slats or profiles along the shower tray.
Measure from the intersection of the 2 slats at an angle of 45 degrees to the shower tray.
Multiply this measure by a factor of 2.414.
The result is the radius in mm (for example 228 x 2.414 = 550.39, rounded 550 mm)

Information sheet for measuring
Check step by step whether a Geberit AquaClean toilet seat can be mounted on your existing toilet bowl.
Â
Remove the toilet lid. Does your toilet bowl have an ordinary, more or less round shape? |
|
Is the support surface for the toilet seat completely flat? Exception An increase of up to 15 mm is permitted at the rear edge. |
|
How big is the size (L) of the front of your toilet bowl How big is the size (B) of your toilet bowl? |
|
How big is the dimension (C) of the front of your toilet bowl How big is the dimension (D) of the inside of your toilet bowl |
|
Are the existing holes for the toilet lid completely open and also accessible from the bottom after confirmation? |
Does your toilet bowl meet all these conditions? Then a Geberit AquaClean toilet seat can be fitted with high probability.

Toilet seat alternatives
Below you see a diagram with a suitable alternative for the Sphinx Atlantic toilet seat:
- Sphinx Atlantic S8H5A000000 toilet seat with lid white
Alternative:Â Pressalit Calmo 556000-D02999 for Sphinx Atlantic toilet seat with lid white - Sphinx Atlantic S8H5A000220 toilet seat with lid black
Alternative: Pressalit Calmo 556001-D15999 toilet seat with lid black + Pressalit D02999 set of adjustable hinges chrome - Sphinx Atlantic toilet seat with lid pergamon
Alternative: Pressalit Calmo 556273-D15999 toilet seat with lid pergamon + Pressalit D02999 set of adjustable hinges chrome
Â
Pressalit does not have these Calmo toilet seats in black and pergamon as standard in their range with the necessary hinges for a Sphinx Atlantic toilet bowl. That is why an extra hinge set (D02999) must be ordered with these toilet seats.
The original Sphinx Gilia toilet seat is unfortunately no longer available.
