- What is included in the kit?
- The kit includes the sloped KERDI-SHOWER-TRAY, KERDI waterproofing membrane, and the KERDI-LINE linear drain components listed for the kit. Drain components such as the drain body and grate are not included and must be purchased separately.
- Can I install it over a wood subfloor?
- Yes, the tray is designed to bond to a structurally sound subfloor with thin-set, following Schluter's installation instructions. Deflection and framing must meet the requirements in the handbook.
- Does it work for a curbless shower?
- The low tray profile suits curbless and low-threshold designs, but the floor structure must be recessed or built up to accommodate the tray and drain. Check the required dimensions before framing.
- Is it better than a traditional mortar bed?
- It eliminates the mortar bed and liner, cuts installation time, and gives a vapor-tight waterproof layer. A mud bed is cheaper in materials but slower and relies on a liner that can leak if damaged.
- What tile can go over it?
- Standard ceramic and porcelain tile bond directly to the KERDI membrane with thin-set. Large-format tile needs a suitable thin-set and full coverage, and the drain grate must match the tile thickness.
