rubber beading strip

Water retaining strips, also known as waterproof door strips or shower thresholds, are typically made from durable materials such as rubber, silicone, or PVC. Their primary function is to create a barrier that prevents water from spilling out of the shower enclosure or bathtub area. This is particularly important in bathrooms where the shower area is open or where water can easily escape onto the floor, potentially causing damage to flooring, walls, and even the underlying structure of the home.

The bathroom is notorious for being a slippery place, especially after a hot shower or bath. Water can easily accumulate on the floor, creating dangerous slipping hazards. According to the National Safety Council, falls in the bathroom are one of the leading causes of home injuries, particularly among older adults and young children. A square non-slip bath mat provides critical traction, dramatically reducing the risk of slipping and falling. Designed with specialized materials and rubber backing, these mats stay in place even when wet, allowing you to transition safely from the wet and slippery surfaces of the shower or tub to the dry floor.
