Why we use Schluter tile systems Edmonton homes need
Started by a tile setter
Werner Schlüter founded his tile company in 1966.
Crack protection
DITRA lets the subfloor and tile move independently.
Waterproof showers
KERDI goes behind tile in showers and tub surrounds.
Where Schluter goes in your home
Showers and tub surrounds
KERDI waterproofing and a KERDI-DRAIN or KERDI-LINE.
Tile floors
DITRA under the tile for crack protection.
Stairs and transitions
Profiles to finish exposed tile edges.
Good to know about Schluter
Profiles
Schluter profiles finish and protect tile edges on walls, floors, countertops and stairs, and the range includes cove-shaped profiles, movement joints and profiles for LVT.
Membranes
Schluter says DITRA and DITRA-XL provide crack protection for a tile floor through the free space in the membrane, which allows movement between the subfloor and the tile. KERDI and KERDI-DS are pliable, sheet-applied waterproofing membranes that go behind tile in showers, tub surrounds and other wet areas.
Shower systems
The Schluter shower system pairs KERDI waterproofing with KERDI-DRAIN and the slim KERDI-LINE linear drain, prefabricated trays, ramps, niches, curbs and benches, and kits that include all the waterproofing components needed to prepare bathroom walls for tile.
Why it matters for your tile job
Tile is only as good as what's under it. Edmonton houses move with the seasons, and a cracked tile or a leaking shower usually traces back to the layers you never see. Our tile and stone flooring page explains how we plan a tile job.
