the Schluter shower system is an integrated family of products that together form a fully
bonded watertight assembly for tiled showers the first component of the Schluter shower system
is the Schluter Kerdi waterproofing membrane Kirti is a pliable sheet applied waterproofing
membrane and vapor retarder designed for the direct application of tile the shower system
components are all installed using thin set mortar waterproof integrity must be
maintained at all seams and penetrations within the shower system using two inch overlaps where
applicable this can be achieved by overlapping adjacent Kirti sheets or by using the Schluter
Kerdi band waterproofing strips over top of the curtain brain sluder Kirti seal MV and courtesy
LPS are used to protect moisture sensitive solid backing at the mixing valve and shower
head Kirti shower t TS and TT sloped shower trays are made of lightweight expanded polystyrene with
integrated Kirti waterproofing the kerdi-board s sea shower curb is constructed of kerdi-board
and is stable and load-bearing within the shower assembly waterproofing connections
are maintained along the shower base using Schluter Kerdi Kerik inside and outside corners
a two inch overlap can be achieved at Kirti Carrick corners without continuing kerdi-band
all the way to the corner of the shower this will limit buildup of the membrane in these areas and
make settings small tiles easier the Schluter ditra uncoupling and waterproofing membrane
on the floor is sealed to the shower system using kerdi-band Schlueter Kirti drain is a
floor drain with an integrated bonding flange that provides a large contact area for a secure
connection to the Kirti waterproofing membrane at the top of the assembly wait 24 hours after
the membrane installation is complete before water testing this will allow for final set
of the mortar and will ensure waterproof performance of the assembly at seams and
connections a water test is recommended before setting tile to verify a successful waterproofing
installation typically water is left in the shower base for 24 hours looter profiles can
be used to replace sealant joints and finish tile edges and shower applications integrated
within any field tile profiles can add bold or subtle elements of design while ensuring
the integrity of your tile installation tile can be set immediately over the components of
the shower system the great assembly is installed in conjunction with the tile
the surrounding tiles are set the assembly is grouted to complete the installation the Schluter
shower system eliminates the risk of failures due to water and vapor penetration and dramatically
reduces total installation time from drains to prefabricated substrates to waterproofing
shrewder systems offers everything you need for a dependable and watertight installation
