In modern manufacturing and engineering, small components often play the biggest roles — and gaskets are a perfect example. A properly designed gasket can mean the difference between a reliable system and costly downtime.

At CSMade.co.uk, we specialise in custom gaskets and industrial sealing solutions for businesses and individuals across the UK and Europe. Whether you need a single prototype or a full production run, our CNC-cut gaskets are made with precision, durability, and performance in mind.

What Is a Gasket and Why Is It So Important?

Silicone gaskets

A gasket is a mechanical seal that fills the space between two surfaces to prevent leakage of liquids or gases under compression. While simple in appearance, gaskets are vital in:

  • Preventing leaks
  • Reducing vibration and wear
  • Protecting machinery from damage
  • Improving safety and efficiency
  • Lowering long-term maintenance costs

They are used everywhere — from cars and plumbing systems to food processing equipment and industrial machinery.

Custom Gaskets vs Off-the-Shelf Solutions

Standard, mass-produced gaskets often compromise on fit and performance. Custom gaskets, on the other hand, are designed specifically for your application.

At CSMade, our custom gasket cutting service allows you to:

  • Match exact dimensions
  • Choose the correct material for your environment
  • Improve sealing reliability
  • Avoid unnecessary modifications

You can send us a DXF, CAD file, drawing, or even a simple sketch — we’ll turn it into a precision-cut gasket.

Gasket Materials We Work With

Fuel reistant gasket

Choosing the right material is just as important as the design. Here are some of the most popular options we offer:

EPDM Rubber Gaskets

EPDM is one of the most commonly used rubber materials thanks to its:

  • Excellent weather resistance
  • UV and ozone stability
  • Strong performance in water and steam
  • Long service life

Ideal for HVAC systems, outdoor applications, and plumbing.

Silicone Gaskets (Including Food Grade)

Silicone is widely used where hygiene, temperature stability, and flexibility are required:

  • Food-safe and medical-grade options
  • High and low temperature resistance
  • Non-toxic and non-reactive
  • Great compression recovery

Perfect for food processing, medical equipment, and electronics.

Nitrile Rubber (NBR) Gaskets

NBR is a go-to material for oil and fuel environments:

Common in automotive and hydraulic systemsor send us a PDF, DXF, or drawing — we’ll handle the rest.

Resistant to oils, fuels, and grease

Durable and cost-effective

Precision CNC Gasket Cutting

All our gaskets are produced using modern CNC cutting technology, ensuring:

  • Clean edges
  • Accurate dimensions
  • Repeatable quality
  • Fast production
  • Low waste

We cut:

  • Flat rubber gaskets
  • EPDM sealing rings
  • Silicone seals
  • Complex custom shapes
  • High-volume batches and prototypes

This allows us to maintain competitive pricing while delivering professional-grade results.
