SHOWER SYSTEM
Prefabricated Shower Substrates
Schluter
®
prefabricated shower substrates
provide an alternative to shower bases
constructed of mortar and other shower
elements constructed of framing and solid
backing. The shower tray, curb, ramp, bench,
and niche are especially useful in large-scale,
repetitive jobs, such as hotels, apartments,
and condominiums for the significant time
savings that can be realized.
