Schluter-Systems Waterproofing Projects

A German company founded in 1966, known for Kerdi waterproofing membranes, Kerdi-Line linear drains and tile trims.

Schluter-Systems was founded in Germany in 1966 and is best known among tile installers for its Kerdi waterproofing membrane, which is adhered to walls and floors to create a continuous waterproof shell. It also makes Kerdi-Line linear drains, foam shower trays and boards, Ditra uncoupling membranes for floors and metal trims that finish tile edges cleanly. Many contractors in Nashville choose a sheet membrane system for showers because the thickness is consistent and the details, such as corners and drains, have matching accessories.

We are an independent contractor and install Schluter products when you choose them. We follow the maker's instructions for thinset, seams and drain connections, and we flood-test before tile. We also use other waterproofing systems when they suit a project better, and we are honest about the trade-offs of each. Trim and edge profiles are planned with the tile so corners and niches are protected and neat.

Best for

Questions

Schluter-Systems FAQ

Is a sheet membrane better than a liquid one?

Both work when installed correctly. Sheet membranes have consistent thickness, while liquids are quicker around odd shapes.

Do I need Schluter trim?

No, but metal trims protect tile edges and create clean corners. We discuss options.

Are you affiliated with Schluter-Systems?

No. We are an independent shower company, and Schluter-Systems is a trademark of its owner. We work with many brands and are glad to install the product you prefer.
