What Is A Schluter Shower System?
Schluter is a huge upgrade over the traditional Hardie Backer or Durarock Cement Board and Red Guard coating method. Most people believe that grout joints are waterproof but actually, they are only water-resistant and over time they allow quite a bit of moisture to seep through and this leads to compromised material and mold growth.
Why Choose The Schluter System?
Schluter has designed several different components to compliment your style while providing a waterproof seal.
Their patented Schluter®-KERDI waterproofing products ensure bonded waterproofing by using a vapor-retardant membrane that is installed directly on the mortar bed and protects the mortar bed from excessive moisture. The membrane used in the Schluter System is designed for the direct application of tile and is ideal for use in tiled showers, bathtub surrounds, residential steam showers, and other tile applications in wet areas.
Variety of Options Available
The Schluter System has a variety of Prefabricated Substrates and Accessories that make designing a modernized shower setup a breeze! They have shower niches so you can forego those unsightly shower caddies. There are shower curbs and benches and corner shelving if it’s desired. You can also design a shower slope that guides water right down into a stylish linear drain that can be utilized in open shower concepts or choose a more traditional point drain to suit your needs. There are also several profiles to choose from so that you can get those visual details just right without compromising functionality.
