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.
SCHLUTER SHOWER SYSTEMS
SHOWER SYSTEM
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.
BUILDING PANELS
Schluter®-KERDI-BOARD is a multifunctional waterproof building panel that allows you to create ideal substrates for tile. With KERDI-BOARD, you can build custom vanities, shelving units, bathtub surrounds, free-standing partition walls, kitchen islands, and so much more. If you can dream it, you can build it with KERDI-BOARD.
Create curved designs using the vertically-grooved KERDI-BOARD-V building panel, or use the KERDI-BOARD-E/-U panels for pipes and column coverings. Bring all these elements together using the profiles and fasteners specifically designed for KERDI-BOARD assemblies. KERDI-BOARD building panels are quick, easy to install, and allow you to achieve substrates that are flat, level, plumb, and square.
FLOOR HEATING
Combine the beauty and durability of tile with the comfort of an electric floor warming system to bring a touch of luxury into any room of the home. DITRA-HEAT is an electric floor warming system that directly incorporates uncoupling technology to ensure that floors aren't susceptible to cracked tiles and grout. Cables can be placed wherever heat is desired for customized heating zones, and no leveling compounds are required, which makes for a quick and easy installation.
With the proven technology of our DITRA uncoupling membrane incorporated in the design, DITRA-HEAT provides the ideal solution for bringing comfort and floor warming to any tiled floor.

UNCOUPLING
MEMBRANE
Tile has been successfully installed for thousands of years by incorporating an uncoupling layer, or forgiving shear interface, within the tile assembly. Schluter®-DITRA membranes provide uncoupling through free space, which allows for in-plane movement that effectively neutralizes the differential movement stresses between the substrate and the tile, thus eliminating the major cause of cracking and delaminating of the tiled surface.
HEATING
CABLES
Schluter®-DITRA-HEAT-E-HK are twisted pair heating cables designed for integration with the DITRA-HEAT uncoupling membrane in interior floor warming applications.
The DITRA-HEAT-E-HK heating cables are specifically designed to integrate with the DITRA-HEAT membrane, and DITRA-HEAT-E-HK heating cables can be installed on the top surface of shower benches.
