A glass door refrigerator or freezer offers a chilled display in places where presentation is just as important as cooling. This includes supermarkets, petrol stations, fast-food outlets, and increasingly, impulse sales points for soft drinks and ice cream. The combination of visibility and cooling places extra demands on the door gasket: in addition to sealing, the profile must also be resistant to frequent opening for customer contact.

Types of glass door gaskets
Which profile you need depends on the application: refrigeration or freezer.
- Glass door refrigeration: for chilled presentation of beverages, dairy or other refrigerated products, push-in profiles are the right choice.
- Glass door freezer: for freezer wall cabinets with frozen meals, pizzas or snacks, a push-in profile in the -ME version is often used, as this remains more flexible at low temperatures. The standard -M version also occurs. A good seal is extra important here, as penetrating moist air immediately becomes visible as ice formation on the glass and products.
Replacing a glass door gasket? Keep this in mind
In a glass door freezer, a leaking seal has immediate consequences. Customers often mistake ice formation on glass or products for spoilage. A worn gasket can be recognised by a number of signs:
- Ice deposit on the inside of the glass, especially along the edges
- Ice deposit on the products
- Fogged glass after closing, instead of clearing up again
- Spots where the profile detaches from the frame instead of making contact everywhere
In a glass door refrigerator (non-freezer), the main issue is compressor overheating, because customers frequently open the door for short periods. Watch the instruction video for replacing a glass door gasket.
The right profile starts with the right choice
Note the old profile code before ordering to ensure that the new door gasket has the same fit and closure. Can't figure out which type of profile it is? See how to identify a profile.
Search by brand
We produce gaskets for the most common brands of glass doors. Think of brands such as Schott-Termofrost, Cisaplast, Viessmann, TGD Spa, GTB Group and Scantech. Do you know the exact brand and model of the glass door refrigerator? Then view the overview of more than 900 brands.
Tip: search by the brand that is on the door itself, not by the model number of the refrigerator. Especially in supermarkets, the glass wall often comes from a different supplier than the refrigeration unit behind it.

We ship your order within 2 to 5 working days. For their first orders, refrigeration technicians receive a free sample case. This contains sample pieces to easily and quickly identify profiles.
Yes, we produce custom gaskets for the most common brands, including Schott-Termofrost, Cisaplast, Viessmann, TGD Spa, GTB Group and Scantech.
A small damage in the seal can be enough for moisture infiltration, especially given the large temperature difference in a glass door freezer. So don't wait until the profile is completely loose.
For both applications, the same type of push-in profile is generally used; the difference is mainly in the sizing per brand and model.
Yes. If you open a glass door freezer during installation, condensation will form on the glass and the profile. Remove this condensation after installation and before closing the door. Otherwise, the door will immediately freeze to the new profile.
The installation of the profile itself does not differ significantly. Commercial glass door refrigerators often have a door closer, which allows the door to close automatically. This makes it harder to keep the door open while you work. With some brands, there is a lock in the hinges that keeps the door open. Check this before you start, it will make installation much easier.
