New waterproof shower components reduce installation time
Tile showers must be thoroughly waterproofed to provide reliable performance. But, properly waterproofing a shower area takes time, and for professional tile installers, time is money. A series of new shower components from Schluter®-Systems speeds the process of completely waterproofing a shower area prior to tile installation.
All Schluter pre-formed shower benches and curbs are now constructed with waterproof and lightweight Kerdi-Board building panels, so additional waterproofing of these elements is no longer required. All seams are completely sealed so these load-bearing components can be quickly and easily installed using thin-set mortar, with a strip of waterproof membrane to be applied where the elements meet floors and walls. Kerdi-Board panels are dimensionally stable, making the material an ideal substrate for tile.
