INSTALLATION — Shower base with Schluter

-KERDI-LINE 27

Any leveling of the floor must be done

prior to the installation of the shower tray.

If necessary, cut the tray to size prior to

application. The shower base can also be

extended beyond the tray using dry-pack

mortar, which is in turn covered with the

KERDI membrane.

Cut the flat end of the KERDI-SHOWER-L/-LS tray to fit around the channel support. Apply

unmodified thin-set mortar to the substrate using a 1/4" x 3/8" (6 mm x 10 mm) square- or

U-notched trowel. Slide the KERDI-SHOWER-L/-LS under the edge of the channel body flush with

the surface of the channel support, making certain to solidly embed the tray in the mortar. Check

the underside of the tray to ensure that full coverage is achieved.

Place a mortar screed opposite the installed

KERDI-LINE channel body.

Fill the remainder of the shower base with

mortar and slope the mortar bed at 1/4"

(6 mm) per 12" (305 mm) using the bonding

flange and a perimeter screed as guides.

If necessary, cut the KERDI-SHOWER-SC/-SR curb or ramp to length using a handsaw.

Apply unmodified thin-set mortar to the floor

and to the edge of the shower base and

walls using a 1/4" x 3/8" (6 mm x 10 mm)

square- or U-notched trowel.

Press the curb or ramp firmly into place.

Check the underside of the curb or ramp

to ensure that full coverage and support

is achieved.

Note: When KERDI-LINE is placed at an intermediate location (e.g., center of shower), it is recommended that the KERDI SHOWER-L tray be cut by equal

amounts from the ends to ensure a consistent height of the first course of tile. When KERDI-LINE is placed adjacent to a wall, cut the KERDI-SHOWER-LS

tray from the thicker end to ensure a flush transition at the drain.

Note: KERDI-BOARD can be used to build

custom curbs, which are installed similar to

KERDI-SHOWER-SC.

As soon as the mortar bed can be

walked upon, waterproofing with the

KERDI membrane can begin.
