INNOVATIVE SOLUTIONS FOR CERAMIC AND STONE TILE

INTEGRATED BONDED WATERPROOFING SYSTEM FOR TILED SHOWERS

The Schluter

-Shower System is an

integrated family of products that

together form a fully bonded, watertight

assembly for tiled showers. Unlike

shower pan liners in conventional

assemblies, bonded waterproof

membranes, such as Schluter

-KERDI,

bond directly to the mortar bed and

protect it from becoming saturated with

regular use. In addition, the KERDI

membrane or Schluter

-KERDI-BOARD

waterproof building panel protect

wall cavities from vapor penetration.

The Schluter

-KERDI-DRAIN and

Schluter

-KERDI-LINE floor drains

provide a simple and secure connection

to the KERDI membrane at the top

of the assembly. Other components

include the Schluter

-KERDI-SEAL-

PS/-MV prefabricated seals and the

Schluter

-KERDI-FIX adhesive/sealant,

used to treat protrusions through the

membrane, and the Schluter

-KERDI-

SHOWER and Schluter

-KERDI-BOARD

prefabricated substrates, which can

reduce weight and installation time. The

integrated Schluter

-Shower System

eliminates leaks, reduces the potential

for efflorescence and mold growth in the

system, and dramatically reduces total

installation time to ensure success and

make shower installation easier than

ever.

KERDI-BOARD is waterproof and vapor-retardant and can withstand all chemical stresses that typically occur in conjunction with ceramic tile coverings. KERDI-BOARD will not warp, rot, or decay. It is serviceable in temperatures up to 158°F (70 °C).

The KERDI-DRAIN adaptor kit is designed to convert clamping ring drains by equipping them with an integrated bonding flange. The adaptor kit includes a stainless steel adaptor ring with an over-molded rubber gasket and a variety of perforated hole patterns that align with most common clamping ring shower drains. The adaptor ring replaces the clamping ring and is attached to the drain body using the clamping ring bolts.
