The Next Generation Bathroom

Product catalog summary

Introduction
Today's bathrooms have evolved into luxurious spaces featuring barrier-free designs, steam showers, and soaking tubs. These modern bathrooms incorporate elements like built-in seats, benches, and linear drains, which allow for elegant, single-sloped floors and large-format tiles. The use of tile enhances both hygiene and design versatility, resulting in glamorous, durable, and functional bathrooms.

Flexibility in Design
Open concept bathrooms are trending, with features like sloped floors to linear drains eliminating the need for shower curbs and doors. This design not only enhances aesthetics but also provides accessibility for individuals with limited mobility, adding long-term value to homes.

Moisture Management
Effective moisture management is crucial in tiled bathrooms to prevent mold growth. The Schluter®-Shower System offers a waterproof and vapor-tight solution by placing the waterproofing layer directly behind the tile, preventing moisture from penetrating the mortar bed or tile backing.

Utility & Function
The Schluter®-Shower System reduces leaks and mold growth, while the Schluter®-DITRA membrane prevents tile and grout cracking by absorbing substrate movement stresses. The KERDI waterproofing membrane and KERDI-BAND strips ensure a completely waterproof bathroom.

Customization and Construction
KERDI-BOARD allows for customizable bathroom designs, enabling the construction of showers, bathtub surrounds, benches, and countertops. This lightweight, waterproof panel is ready for tiling and can be combined with prefabricated components for quick installation.

Waterproofing Solutions
The KERDI line includes waterproofing membranes and specialty pieces for protecting vulnerable areas like pipe protrusions and corners. The KERDI-LINE linear drain and KERDI-DRAIN ensure waterproof confidence in the drainage system.

Finishing Touches
Ceramic and stone tiles add a spa-like feel to bathrooms. Schluter profiles provide hygienic transitions and protect tile edges, enhancing the aesthetic of shower niches, mosaic inserts, and tiled walls.
