Our take on the Schluter Kerdi-Board

Kerdi-Board is a waterproof tile substrate: an extruded polystyrene foam core with reinforcing layers and fleece webbing on both faces that bonds to thin-set mortar. It serves as both backer and bonded waterproofing membrane, so showers and tub surrounds can be built without separate cement board plus a liquid or sheet membrane. It is lightweight and cuts with a utility knife, which makes it faster to install than cement backer board. The trade-off is cost and the need for Schluter's matching thin-set, banding and seals to keep the assembly warrantied.

Questions and answers

Does Kerdi-Board waterproof a shower by itself?
The panel is waterproof, but a complete assembly needs Schluter banding over seams and corners plus pipe seals and a drain flange. Those parts make the bonded waterproofing system.
What thickness should I use?
Half-inch panels are the common choice for walls over solid framing. Thicker panels add stiffness and insulation where the framing allows.
Can I cut it with a utility knife?
Yes. Score and snap the foam core with a utility knife, then trim the fleece. A fine-tooth saw also works for straight cuts.
What thin-set does it need?
Use an unmodified thin-set mortar, as Schluter specifies for its systems. Modified mortars can interfere with the fleece bond.
Can it be used on floors?
It is made for walls and wet areas like showers and tub surrounds. For floors, Schluter's Ditra line is the usual choice.
Does it replace cement backer board?
Yes for interior wet walls. It is lighter and adds waterproofing, but it is not structural and still needs solid framing behind it.
Where is the Schluter Kerdi-Board cheapest?
At The Home Depot, for $112.00, as of our latest check.
