Using KERDI-BOARD to build walls over stud framing in

wet areas is an efficient alternative to using gypsum board.

While cement backer boards are moisture-resistant, they are

not waterproof. Thus, additional measures must be taken

to protect wall cavities from water and vapor penetration.

KERDI-BOARD can be installed both vertically and horizontally

using the screws and washers in our hardware assortment. A

fully waterproof assembly is easily achieved by sealing seams

and fastener penetrations with Schluter

-KERDI-BAND.

KERDI-BOARD-SN prefabricated shower niches are fully

sealed, quick to install, and combine functionality with décor

in the shower. The shower niches integrate seamlessly with

Schluter

-KERDI and KERDI-BOARD shower assemblies, and

feature pre-sealed inside corners, which can be challenging areas

to waterproof. The larger niche sizes include a prefabricated

KERDI-BOARD shelf that can be installed at any height to create

separate compartments within the niche.

KERDI-BOARD is the ideal substrate for creating shower

benches that are ready for tile. Simple to cut with a utility knife,

KERDI-BOARD can be easily customized to fit your bench size

and design specifications. Schluter

-KERDI-BAND should be

used to seal the edges of the assembly to ensure that the bench

is suitably waterproofed.

Prefabricated KERDI-BOARD-SB benches are also available
