Does the tray come with the drain?

No. The box holds the sloped tray and a Kerdi collar for sealing the drain-to-tray joint. The Kerdi-Drain is bought separately.

Can I install it over a wood subfloor?

Yes, on a structurally sound, flat subfloor, following Schluter's installation instructions. The foam needs full support so it does not flex underfoot.

Can I cut the tray to fit my shower?

Schluter allows trimming at the perimeter, but cutting into the sloped field changes the drainage plane. Keep cuts to the edges and check the slope still runs to the drain.

What is the difference between the T, TS and TT versions?

They differ in perimeter height and drain position to suit curbless, low-curb and tub-replacement layouts. Pick the one whose height and drain location match your build.

Does it work for a curbless shower?

Yes. The thin perimeter heights are made for curbless construction, paired with Kerdi-Board-SC curb and Kerdi-Drain.

What else do I need to finish the shower?

Kerdi-Drain, Kerdi band and corners for the seams, thin-set mortar, and tile. A Kerdi-Board-SC curb if your design has a curb.

What reviewers say

Owners and installers describe the tray as a fast, reliable base that removes the hardest part of a tiled shower, the sloped mortar bed. Praise centers on the factory waterproofing and the clean fit with Kerdi-Drain; complaints focus on the need for a perfectly level subfloor and the cost of buying into the full system.

What people mention

Installation speedPraisedInstallers say the tray sets and tiles far faster than building and screeding a mortar bed.
WaterproofingPraisedThe bonded Kerdi membrane and collar are seen as a dependable, continuous waterproof layer.
Subfloor prepCriticisedOwners report the foam tray needs a dead-flat, solid floor or it rocks and the slope suffers.
System lock-inMixedBuyers like the fit with Kerdi-Drain and curbs but note it commits them to Schluter parts.
TrimmingCriticisedCutting the tray to fit an awkward space is said to disturb the preformed slope and membrane.
