Schluter Systems — So Many Shower Options! Prefabricated Shower Trays Custom tiled showers continue to grow in popularity as homeowners strive to create spaces that reflect their specific needs and desires. Each one is a little bit different. To help create these unique spaces more easily, Schluter-Systems has prefabricated, sloped trays for showers with the KERDIDRAIN point drain and KERDI-LINE linear drain. Various tray options make it much easier to choose a tray that suits the size of the shower. All Schluter shower trays feature integrated KERDI waterproofing on the top of the tray. Shower areas must be made completely waterproof before tiles are installed, so trays with the waterproof membrane pre-installed remove a step from the construction process. These shower trays easily integrate with Schluter drains and waterproof walls to construct a completely waterproof and vapor-tight environment.
Going Curbless in the Shower! Curbless shower areas have also exploded in popularity in recent years. They have become a very popular design choice for aesthetic reasons and to assist homeowners with aging in place or managing reduced mobility. One of the challenges when constructing curbless showers is to effectively manage height changes between the bathroom floor and the shower floor. To make this process easier, Schluter also has shower trays with reduced thickness. These KERDISHOWER-TT trays feature perimeter heights of 1” or less to simplify the design and construction of curbless shower entries. This change in tray design will allow more people to have curbless showers installed in their homes.
Support & Education To support installers in shower installations, whether traditional showers or curbless ones, Schluter also provides local support either through the local Schluter rep or at their various educational events.
