Schluter KERDI-SHOWER-KIT 38x60 Shower System vs Schluter Kerdi-Shower-T 48 x 60 Tray

Buy the 38 x 60 kit if you want one box that covers the whole waterproofing job: tray, two curbs, membrane, band, corners, seals and drain flange. Buy the 48 x 60 tray if your rough opening is 48 inches wide and you already have curbs, membrane and drain parts, or plan a curbless build. The 38 x 60 kit is the more complete system and the only one of the two with owner ratings, though the sample is small. The 48 x 60 tray is a single EPS component with integrated KERDI and a center drain, so it suits a different footprint and drain layout.

  • Choose the 38 x 60 kit if you are replacing a tub or building a standard alcove shower and want the tray, curbs, membrane, band, corners, seals and ABS drain flange in one purchase.
  • Choose the 48 x 60 tray if your opening is 48 inches wide, you want a center drain, and you already have or will buy the curbs, membrane and drain grate separately.

What reviewers say

Schluter KERDI-SHOWER-KIT 38x60 Shower System

  • 4.8 / 513 ratings

Owners rate the kit highly and describe a straightforward install with no leaks when the tray sits on a level, solid floor. Complaints center on cost and on the fixed tray size leaving little room for error.

What people mention
  • WaterproofingPraisedOwners report dry ceilings below after using the full KERDI system.
  • Install timePraisedBuyers say the pre-sloped tray saves days over a mortar bed.
  • PriceCriticisedSeveral call the kit expensive next to a mud bed and liquid membrane.
  • Tray fitMixedThe fixed 38 x 60 in. size works in standard alcoves but leaves little slack.

Schluter Kerdi-Shower-T 48 x 60 Tray

Installers who use it describe a fast, flat, reliably sloped pan that saves a day of mud work and integrates cleanly with KERDI band and drain. Complaints center on the fixed size and drain location, the need for a perfectly level floor, and how easily the foam edges bruise before tiling.

What people mention
  • Install speedPraisedOwners say it replaces a day of mud work and goes down quickly.
  • Slope and drainagePraisedReviewers report the factory slope drains evenly with no puddles.
  • WeightPraisedThe foam core is light enough for one person to handle.
  • Size fitCriticisedThe fixed 48 x 60 footprint and center drain force the rough opening to match exactly.

Questions and answers

Which is better for a tub-to-shower conversion?
The 38 x 60 kit. Its off-center drain matches typical tub drain locations, and it includes the curbs and waterproofing you need for an alcove.
Which lasts longer?
Both rely on the same KERDI waterproofing and a tiled surface, so service life depends on installation. The 38 x 60 kit adds factory curbs and a full membrane roll; the 48 x 60 tray has KERDI bonded at the factory.
Is the 48 x 60 worth stepping up to?
Only if your opening is 48 inches wide and you want a center drain. It is not an upgrade in completeness; you still need curbs, membrane and drain parts.
Do I need to buy a drain grate for either?
Yes. The 38 x 60 kit includes the ABS drain flange but not the grate. The 48 x 60 tray works with KERDI-DRAIN, whose grate is also separate.
Can I build a curbless shower with either?
The 48 x 60 tray is the easier starting point because of its thin perimeter heights. The 38 x 60 kit ships with curbs, so going curbless means leaving them out and checking floor framing.
Do both work with KERDI-BOARD and KERDI-BAND?
Yes. Both are part of the KERDI system and bond to KERDI-BOARD and KERDI-BAND with thin-set. The 38 x 60 kit already includes a band roll and board curbs.
