Application and Function

Schluter

-KERDI-BOARD is a multifunc-

tional tile substrate and building panel,

which can also be used for creating bonded

waterproofing assemblies with tile

coverings.

It consists of an extruded polystyrene foam

panel, with a special reinforcement material

on both sides and fleece webbing for

effective anchoring in thin-set mortar.

With the available panel thicknesses of

3/16", 3/8", 1/2", 3/4", 1", 1-1/2", and 2"

(5, 9, 12.5, 19, 25, 38, and 50 mm), KERDI-

BOARD covers a broad range of application

areas for creating flat, level, plumb, square,

and dimensionally stable substrates for the

installation of ceramic and natural stone

tiles. With suitable preparation of the

abutting seams and joint areas, the panel

may be used for bonded waterproofing

assemblies.

KERDI-BOARD is suitable for: creating tile

substrates on masonry walls, wood or

metal framing, and other finished wall

surfaces; creating straight or curved

partition walls; creating straight or curved

bathtub and shower surrounds; concealing

pipes and columns; as well as creating

bathtub platforms, vanities, storage

shelves, countertops, and various other

bathroom structures.

The boards are simply cut to size with a

utility knife. The gridlines, which are printed

on the surface, are helpful for neat and

quick cuts and installation.

KERDI-BOARD can be fully adhered in wall

areas or spot-bonded with thin-set mortar.

If necessary, the material may be secured

with additional wall anchors. In the case of

stud framing, KERDI-BOARD is attached

with screws and washers from the

matching hardware system.

Tiles can be installed directly over KERDI-

BOARD using the thin-set method.

L-shaped and U-shaped KERDI-BOARD

panels are available for creating pipe and

column coverings, and grooved panels are

available for creating curved elements.

Schluter

-Systems also offers profiles and

attachment hardware for wall connections

and finishing edges, as well as matching

wall anchors and screws.

Material Properties and

Areas of Application

Schluter

-KERDI-BOARD is made from

extruded polystyrene foam, with a cement-

free reinforcement layer laminated to both

sides and an anchoring fleece webbing.

The surface of the board has gridlines

consisting of 3/8" x 3/8" (10 x 10 mm)

squares printed on one side.

KERDI-BOARD is waterproof and vapor-

retardant and can withstand all chemical

stresses that typically occur in conjunction

with ceramic tile coverings. KERDI-BOARD

may be used in bonded waterproofing
