I have show floor that goes right out to the tiled floor without a water barrier. I would need to have the shower curtain right up against the floor curved in to prevent water from getting out and even then a good splash could have it still get out. With this, it gives a block for the splashing water or the tiny tsunami that occurs when you move your feet in a small puddle (and yes, my drain works fine and is not slow). The tsunami was enough to get a decent puddle on the floor, where with this barrier, it stops it unless I really try hard.Cutting it to fit was a little tricky, because the edge of the floor curves up. So I had to match that contour. Other than that, it installed in a breeze and for added security, add a bead of caulk/silocone.The material is a soft rubber allowing it to collapse when stepped on or rolled over. But it springs right back into shape, serving it's purpose and not taking away from the no threshold entry of our shower.

This rubber water dam is on the stronger side no doubt. A highlight is the rounded off edges. It's much easier on your feet if you step on it. Easy to install as that is pretty straight forward. Only gripe I had is the adhesive that it comes with. it came undone after a couple of weeks. Recommend adding some extra adhesive to keep it from lifting. It definitely stops water where you are needing to keep water from coming over. Just as long as you have added adhesive.

If you're looking to fix old water seal on an old glass or glass/metal door, this is likely not the right product.Rather, this is to create, like is shown in the listing photo, a low "water dam" - this might be applicable for a curbless shower (though that's often done for an aesthetic reason this wouldn't fit in with), or perhaps applications like outdoor showers.In my case, I had a bathroom renovated in some older rental property. The newly tiled shower is an odd size, and, as a result, the glass door took a few weeks to be made and installed. During that time, I gave the tenant a shower curtain, but the low sill of the shower meant splashes and water on the floor. This fixed that problem - so that might be one example of a use case where this is the right product.Overall, use applicability aside, it seems to be decent quality. It came in a decent size box (not crushed or deformed in transit), and it rolled out and flat evenly. The adhesive I thought could have been better - and another review noted the same. It'll work fine to a totally smooth, clean, and flat surface - but for anything else you'll probably need to prepare the surface and supply your own adhesive.

This works better than the taller barrier I tried first. It is easier for my chair to push over and get inside the barrier. And less likely to tear away the adhesive. There is less adhesive, but it is subjected to less stress when run over because this barrier is wider and the wheels pinning down the edge helps it to not roll over. It comes rolled up inside a box. There were 2 kinks near the center of the roll. It isn't as deep as I liked from the prior product, but enough to clean most of the tire surface. If used on a less flat surface, such as tile, a little silicone sealant on the outer wings where it crosses grout lines might help.When using my wheelchair outdoors, it sometimes gets stuck in mud, or rolls through dog poop, which would make a mess in the house. This makes a semicircle at the edge of the overhead garage door. I use a little electric sprayer to clean off my wheels and anything else that got dirty before going inside.

I'm not 100% sure that this item is intended for the the use case that I bought it for, but it works adequately for my purpose. I have a shower door that swings both ways, except that when you push it in, it smacks the showerhead, which has always been annoying. Keeping the kids from pushing it in has been a struggle. Separate from that, there is a little plastic "dam" on the door but it doesn't fit very well, and the result is that during long showers, water seeps below the door and out of the shower. I figured this would be a two-birds-one-stone solution. I installed it along the interior side of the door, which made it harder to swing inside the shower. It's not impossible if you really forced it, as it would make the threshold fail. But provided that people respect it and don't push too hard, it did really cut back on the water-seeping-under-the-door problem. Not entirely, because there's still a small gap between the back of the threshold and the door. But mostly. Like I said, I'm not sure this is what it's supposed to be used for, but it does work. In an ideal world, I think the one side would be flat and the other side rounded, which would help it fit in my particular use case a little better. But it works

A lot depends on where you are installing this water dam. I was trying to use it on a 50 year old concrete floor. Even with cleaning the concrete with soap and water and then letting it dry the adhesive didn't hold. The old concrete is just to gritty. If I was using it on a newer floor it might be a different story. I'm going to have to get some silicone and use that to adhere it where I want it. Really I think you might want to do that for any usage. All it takes is one failure of the adhesive and it will allow water to come under. The thing I did like about it was that it was easy to cut. It's flexible so you can step on it without hurting the product or yourself. It's also tall enough for my application. A fair amount of water can collect behind it. The base is wide enough to hold against the weight of water build up. Unless you're putting it on a smooth porcelain tile surface, I'd plan on needing some additional silicone.
