Contrary to popular belief, tiles and grout joints are not inherently waterproof, and must be installed in conjunction with a waterproofing system that effectively manages moisture and prevents mold growth.
The Schluter®-Shower System is an integrated family of products that together form a fully bonded, watertight assembly for tiled showers. The Schluter®-Shower System eliminates the risk of failures due to water and vapor penetration and dramatically reduces total installation time. From drains to shower benches to waterproofing pipe seals, Schluter®-Systems offers everything you need to ensure a dependable and watertight installation.
Waterproofing For Showers
A worry-free shower installation begins with
proper waterproofing – everything that goes behind the tile that protects any elements that are subject to moisture. Schluter®-KERDI and KERDI-DS are pliable sheet-applied waterproofing membranes designed for the direct application of tile. The KERDI family is completed by accessories including seamless corners, waterproofing strips, and pipe and mixing valve seals, all designed to work together to complete the waterproofing process, protecting your shower or bathtub surround against mold and mildew damage.
