Schluter -Shower System ® Complete waterproofing system for tiled showers
Tile: The Perfect Choice for the Bathroom © Hugo Sanchez Tile is not only timeless and beautiful, it’s also durable, hygienic, and easy to clean making it ideal for wet areas. The Importance of Moisture Management To ensure the lasting beauty of your new bathroom and protect your investment, a complete waterproofing system is essential. Contrary to popular belief, tile and grout joints (even sealed grout joints) are not waterproof.

The Traditional Shower vs. the Schluter Shower ® Waterproofing is the foundation of a successful tiled bathroom. Moisture-sensitive construction materials such as wood framing, plywood or OSB sheathing, gypsum wallboard, etc. must be protected from water and vapor penetration. Wet areas increase the potential for mold growth if effective moisture management is not provided. The key to mold control is moisture control.
