Is the bench waterproof before tiling?

Yes. The bench is made of Kerdi-Board, which is waterproof, and it ships with preformed Kerdi-Kereck inside and outside corners to seal the connections at the wall.

Does it come finished?

No. It is a ready-to-tile substrate. You set tile over it with thinset, so the finished look depends on the tile you choose.

It is set in place and tied into the surrounding Kerdi waterproofing with the included corners and Kerdi-Band. Schluter publishes installation guidance for the Shower System.

Can it hold a person's weight?

Schluter rates the bench as load bearing and stable once properly installed over a solid substrate.

Does the top drain water?

Yes. The top is sloped so water runs off rather than pooling on the seat.

The rectangular bench plus two each of the preformed 90-degree inside and outside Kerdi-Kereck corners.

Our take on the Schluter Kerdi Board Prefabricated Shower Bench 38"x 11 1/2"x 20" Rectangular

The Schluter Kerdi-Board-SB is a prefabricated rectangular shower bench made of Kerdi-Board, the same waterproof foam-core panel used across the Schluter Shower System. It arrives ready to tile, with a sloped top to shed water and preformed Kerdi-Kereck inside and outside corners for tying the waterproofing into the walls. It suits anyone building or remodeling a tiled shower who wants a bench without framing one from lumber and cement board. Against site-built benches it saves framing and waterproofing steps, but it is a tile-ready substrate, not a finished seat, and it costs more than a simple teak or plastic shower stool.
