A glass door refrigerator or freezer offers a refrigerated display in places where presentation is as important as cooling. Consider 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 withstand frequent opening for customer interaction.

Types of glass door seals
Which profile you need depends on the application: cooling or freezing.
- Glass door refrigeration: for refrigerated display of beverages, dairy, or other chilled products, push-in profiles are the right choice.
- Glass door freezer: for freezer wall display units with frozen meals, pizzas or snacks, you often see a push-in profile in the -ME version, as it remains more flexible at low temperatures. The standard -M version also occurs. A good seal is extra important here, as invading moist air becomes immediately visible as ice formation on the glass and products.
Replacing a glass door seal? Keep this in mind
In a glass door freezer, a leaking seal immediately has consequences. Customers quickly mistake ice formation on glass or products for spoilage. You can recognize a worn seal by several signs:
- Ice build-up on the inside of the glass, particularly along the edges
- Ice build-up on the products
- Fogged glass after closing, instead of becoming clear again
- Areas where the profile detaches from the frame instead of making contact everywhere
With a glass door refrigerator (non-freezer), the main issue is compressor overheating, as the door is frequently opened by customers 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, then you can be sure that the new door gasket has the same fit and seal. Can't figure out which type of profile it is? See how to identify a profile.
Search by brand
We produce seals for the most common brands of glass doors. Think of brands like 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 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 will ship your order within 2 to 5 working days. With initial orders, refrigeration technicians receive a free sample case. This contains sample pieces to easily and quickly identify profiles.
Yes, we produce custom seals for the most common brands, including Schott-Termofrost, Cisaplast, Viessmann, TGD Spa, GTB Group and Scantech.
Can a slightly damaged profile already cause ice formation, or does it have to be completely broken?
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 dimensions 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 mounting 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 more difficult 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.
