sides with a special fleece webbing to anchor
the membrane in the thin-set mortar. The
frame and grates are made of stainless steel
316 L (1.4404 =V4A). The channel support
is made of pressure-resistant, expanded
polystyrene (EPS).
KERDI-DRAIN and KERDI-LINE are suitable for
use in residential and commercial applications,
including areas subject to foot and wheelchair
traffic, such as showers and wet rooms in
homes, hotels, schools, healthcare facilities, etc.
Stainless steel can sustain high mechanical
stresses and is particularly suitable for
applications requiring resistance against
chemicals and acids. However, even stainless
steel is not resistant to all chemical stresses,
and may be affected by hydrochloric acid,
hydrofluoric acid or certain chlorine, chloride,
and brine concentrations, which may be
present in detergents or swimming pools. In
special cases, the suitability of the selected floor
drainage system must be verified based on the
anticipated chemical, mechanical, and/or other
stresses.
Anodized aluminum retains a uniform
appearance during normal use. The surface,
however, is susceptible to scratching and wear
and may be damaged by grout or setting
material. Therefore, these materials must be
removed immediately.
Various configurations of KERDI-DRAIN and
KERDI-LINE are listed by UPC
®, CSA, ICC-ES
PMG and NSF. Relevant industry standard
guidelines for floor drains with integrated
bonding flange include method B422 in the Tile
Council of North America's (TCNA) Handbook
for Ceramic Tile Installation and Method 326DR
in the Terrazzo, Tile and Marble Association of
Canada (TTMAC) Specification Guide 09300
Tile Installation Manual.
The KERDI-LINE-FC is roll-formed using
stainless steel 316 L (1.4404 = V4A).
The SHOWERPROFILE-S anchoring leg is made
of recycled, rigid PVC. The SHOWERPROFILE-
S/-R profiles are made of stainless steel 316 L
(1.4404 = V4A) with KERDI laminated on the
backside.
Maintenance
KERDI-DRAIN, KERDI-LINE, and
SHOWERPROFILE-S/-R require no special
maintenance and are resistant to mold and
fungi. The drain grates may be removed to clean
the drain housing and the drain pipes.
Clean the grates and profiles using common
household cleaning agents. Stainless steel
exposed to the environment or aggressive
substances should be cleaned periodically using
a mild household cleaner. Regular cleaning
maintains the neat appearance of stainless
steel and reduces the risk of corrosion. All
cleaning agents must be free of hydrochloric
acid, hydrofluoric acid, and chlorides. Stainless
steel surfaces develop a sheen when treated
with a chrome-polishing agent. Do not use
abrasive or alkaline cleaning agents.
Shower Profiles
Application and Function
14.2 Schluter
®
-SHOWERPROFILE-WS/-
WSK system profiles, together with the
Schluter
®
-SHOWERPROFILE-WSL/-WSC
inserts, form a splashguard at the entrance of
curbless showers.
Schluter
®
-SHOWERPROFILE-WS is an
anodized aluminum support profile that is set in
conjunction with the tile using thin-set mortar. It
has a 3/4" (19 mm) –wide visible surface and a
height of 5/16" (8 mm). Where thicker tiles are
used, simply fill the space below the profile with
thin-set mortar.
Schluter
®
-SHOWERPROFILE-WSK is an
anodized aluminum support profile that is
adhered to the tile surface. It has a 2-1/16" (52
mm) –wide visible surface and a height of 5/16"
(8 mm).
The support profiles are combined with either
the SHOWERPROFILE-WSL insert or the
SHOWERPROFILE-WSC insert.
Schluter
®
-SHOWERPROFILE-WSL is an
upright insert made of transparent polyurethane.
The insert is collapsible when stepped on
or rolled over with a wheelchair. The insert
protrudes 1-5/32" (29 mm) above the profile
surface. The SHOWERPROFILE-WSL insert
does not comply with the Americans with
Disabilities Act (ADA), since it exceeds the
allowable height of a vertical transition despite
being collapsible. Please check with local code
officials for acceptance on projects where ADA
guidelines must be observed before installation.
Schluter
®
-SHOWERPROFILE-WSC is a semi-
circular insert made of semi-rigid PVC. The
insert creates an inconspicuous transition from
the shower area to the adjoining space and a
5/8" (16 mm) –wide visible surface. The insert
protrudes 3/64" (1.2 mm) above the profile
surface. The SHOWERPROFILE-WSC insert
complies with the Americans with Disabilities
Act (ADA).
Material Properties and Areas of Application
The SHOWERPROFILE-WS/-WSK support
profiles feature an anodized aluminum layer
that retains uniform appearance during normal
use. The surface, however, is susceptible to
scratching and wear and may be damaged
by grout or setting material. Cementitious
materials, in conjunction with moisture, become
alkaline. Since aluminum is sensitive to alkaline
substances, exposure to the alkali (depending
on the concentration and duration of exposure)
may result in corrosion (aluminum hydroxide
formation). Therefore, it is important to remove
mortar or grout residue immediately from visible
surfaces. In addition, ensure the profile is solidly
embedded in the setting material and that all
cavities are filled to prevent the collection of
alkaline water.
The SHOWERPROFILE-WSL insert is made of
highly flexible polyurethane.
The SHOWERPROFILE -WSC insert is made of
semi-rigid PVC.
The inserts can withstand chemical stresses
typically encountered in tiled environments.
Maintenance
SHOWERPROFILE-WS/-WSK support profiles
require no special maintenance or care and
are resistant to mold and fungi. In the case
of anodized aluminum, do not use abrasive
cleaning agents. The SHOWERPROFILE-WSC/
-WSL inserts are specifically treated to resist
the growth of fungi and bacteria and require no
special maintenance or care.
