When people admire one of our beautifully tiled showers, they often focus on the design, color, and patterns. But what they don’t see is what truly makes a shower durable and long-lasting—the waterproofing membrane. In fact, the waterproofing underneath the tile might be the most important part of the installation. At ABD, we trust Schluter Shower Systems to provide the perfect solution.
Why Do We Need Waterproofing?
Tile and grout are not naturally waterproof. Water can seep through, leading to mold, mildew, and even structural damage over time. A waterproofing system creates a moisture barrier that protects the hidden materials, ensuring a long-lasting, leak-free shower.
In this video, you can see the Schluter-KERDI membrane in action. Traditional methods relied on cement and other porous materials, which absorb water and can crack over time. KERDI, made from polyethylene, creates an impenetrable barrier.
Schluter also offers heated floors with DITRA-HEAT. This product is integrated with the waterproofing membrane. Enjoy warm tiles with a programmable thermostat, knowing your space is protected.
With Schluter’s proven technology, you can have peace of mind that your shower will stay beautiful and functional for years to come. Learn more about Schluter using this link.
