Note: The BulkBox includes a 164-foot long, 4-inch wide Sealux patented waterproof membrane with an integrated 1 ¼-inch siliconized adhesive strip. Please be aware that the BulkBox does not contain a spreading spatula, cardboard alignment guide, or alcohol surface cleaning tissues, which are included in the residential package (shown in video).
The 164-foot roll of tile flange is sufficient for 16 projects, each requiring a tile flange length of 124 inches. This length is suitable for the majority of Ella walk-in tub models installed in three-wall alcove setups within a standard 60-inch opening. While the regular cost for a 124-inch flange kit is $69, purchasing a box will reduce the cost per 124-inch segment to $29.69, resulting in a savings of $39.31 per install.
This unique 0.5mm thick Sealux glue-up waterproof membrane (tile flange) serves as an innovative sealing system for the perimeter joint upstand of bathtub and shower trays. Designed to integrate seamlessly with your wall tiles or panels, the flange effectively prevents water from seeping between the bath and the tiles. This essential feature offers an extra layer of protection against long-term water damage to both the wall and the floor in the tub deck area, ensuring the longevity of your installation.
To seal the gap between the shower base or bathtub and the wall-mounted glue-up Sealux flange, a neutral-curing, sanitary-grade, 100% silicone sealant must be used. When this silicone is applied into the gap with a caulking gun and contacts the Sealux siliconized adhesive strip, it forms an unparalleled bond with both the bathtub and shower base. This creates a flexible and waterproof seal that is maintained even during floor contractions, expansions, or any joint movements.

- Cost effective and ConvenientÂ
- Material Composition: No Messy Butyl or Hard bulky Plastic Flanges
- Â Product Performance: An Award Winner, Unique and Patented Product
- Â Ease, Fast & Versatility of Installation
- Resists joint movements
- Compact size & cheaper to ship

The strip is revolutionary in design not just because it has a fleece-free pink tinged surface (a) that provides a tenacious adhesion with 100% silicone, but the strip is also reversible making it a versatile sealing solution that can be installed either during or after the installation of tubs and shower pans with and without tile flanges attached.
When the strip is installed to seal a shower base or bathtub with an integral tile flange, the pink tinged siliconized surface of the strip faces the tile flange. When the strip is installed to seal a shower base or bathtub with no tiling flange, the red tinged surface faces the installer.
