Schluter®-KERDI
-Schluter®-KERDI
Schluter®-KERDI is a flexible, sheet-applied, waterproof membrane, and vapour-retarder. It was developed as a waterproofing membrane to be used specifically with ceramic and stone tile coverings. KERDI is great for tiled showers, residential steam showers, curbless showers, bathtub surrounds, and other tiled areas where water may be present.
Schluter®-KERDI-BOARD
Schluter®-KERDI-BOARD is a versatile tile substrate and building panel. It can also be used for creating bonded waterproofing assemblies with tile coverings. KERDI-BOARD allows the installer to arrange and construct a vast range of substrates and building elements to install ceramic and natural stone tile that are flat, level, plumb, square, and dimensionally stable. The panel can be used for bonded waterproofing assemblies and can easily be tiled over using the thin-set method. The Kerdi-Board is perfect for incorporating a shower bench or a knee wall in your bathroom.
Schluter®-KERDI-BAND
Schluter®-KERDI-BAND is a waterproofing strip that is best used for sealing butt joints and floor and wall connections with KERDI and DITRA membranes as well as KERDI-BOARD building panels. The strip provides a watertight seal, preventing leaks and mould. It bonds tightly to inside and outside corners without rounding at surface transitions.

Schluter® Drain Install
Mike Holmes and Mike Holmes Jr demonstrate how to install a Schluter Drain. The shower is completely waterproof and features Schluter®-KERDI Board and KERDI-LINE Drain. The Schluter®-System in the shower is clean and life-lasting but most importantly 100% watertight. Watch as they renovate this small bathroom for accessibility and achieve a perfect slope that leads right to the drain because of the curbless design.
Schluter®-KERDI-LINE-VARIO
Schluter®-KERDI-DRAIN-H
Relocating a drain for a shower can be extremely challenging and potentially expensive in many remodeling and renovation situations. Residential environments that present these challenges include slab-on-grade construction, basements, high-rise condominiums, apartments and even many wood frame homes where multiple trades would be required to relocate an existing drain. Commercially, any building with suspended concrete, post-tension concrete or old, vertical chases can present major challenges as re-coring concrete is a costly operation. To overcome these challenges Schluter®-Systems has developed the Schluter®-KERDI-DRAIN-H with a 2” horizontal outlet.

Schluter®-DITRA
Schluter®-DITRA
Schluter® DITRA is designed specifically for ceramic and dimension stone installations. It provides uncoupling technology to help prevent tiles and grout from cracking. Due to its polyethylene makeup, it serves as a waterproofing layer, protecting moisture-sensitive substrates.
Schluter®-DITRA-HEAT
Schluter® DITRA-HEAT is an electric floor warming system that is ideally used under tile flooring. It is the only one that has integrated uncoupling technology, which allows for in-plane movement by balancing the movement stresses between the substrate and tile, protecting tile and grout from cracking. The polypropylene makeup of DITRA-HEAT helps keep moisture from penetrating it.
NEW: Schluter®-DITRA-HEAT-PS & Schluter®-DITRA-HEAT-DUO-PS
