This kit consists of a waterproofing and sealing kit, shower boards,
drainage channel and support plus a tile support grate.
The waterproofing and sealing kit contains Schlüter-KERDI
waterproofing membrane, plus Schlüter-KERDI-KEBA sealing band,
Schlüter-KERDI-KERECK pre-formed corner pieces and Schlüter-
KERDI-COLL sealing adhesive. The KERDI membrane from the kit was
used to waterproof the back wall and around the shower wall. The rest
of the room was done out with Schlüter-KERDI-BOARD waterproof
backerboard in 10mm thickness. All joints and junctions were sealed
with the aforementioned set of sealing products.
The 800mm linear drainage channel was installed in an intermediate
location, sloped to from both sides using the Schlüter-KERDI-
SHOWER-L and Schlüter-KERDI-SHOWER-LS pre-sloped shower
boards. The drain is designed to be tiled to in-line with the rest of
the floor - in this case with wood-effect tiles - resulting in a discreet
solution.
‘Since we started using Schlüter’s wetroom kits three years’ ago,
we’ve had none of the problems we would get previously”, says
Vincent, “We wouldn’t deviate from them now as they offer a
comprehensive and trustworthy solution to prepping a wetroom”.
AREA: FLOOR
ACTION: Providing heated surfaces across the room
The timber floors of the project had already been insulated, so
Vincent installed the original Schlüter-DITRA-HEAT-E electric
underfloor heating system. “It’s great that you can use this system
throughout the whole of a room, including the shower area”, says
Vincent, “Often this isn’t an option with other systems”.
Continues Vincent, “In refurbishment work, it’s always a struggle
to keep floor build-ups low – but with the Schlüter-DITRA-HEAT-E
system, all build-up is contained within the height of the membrane
so there are no unexpected surprises”.
AREA: WALLS (WOOD-EFFECT TILING)
Vincent used chrome-plated brass finishing profile, Schlüter-
QUADEC-MC, to provide finishing against the wood-effect wall
tiles. He also used the matching Schlüter-QUADEC-MC/EV corner
pieces to finish the corners of the 1-metre-high shower wall.
“Schlüter trims give a great finish for tile edges and neatly cover
the edge of tile”, comments Vincent, “Plus the corner pieces give
AREA: WALLS (WHITE CERAMIC TILING)
ACTION: Providing appropriate edge finishing for external corners
Schlüter-JOLLY-AC in a Matte Brilliant White (MBW) finish was used
to finish edges in wall areas where 1000mm x 330mm ceramic
tiles were installed, including around window reveals and product
boxing. Three quarters of the edges of Quell’s custom-built niches
for the project were also edged with the MBW trims, with QUADEC-
MC to the inside edge of each as part of a wood-effect feature
shower wall.

a good looking finish that avoids sharp edges – important as we
were finishing a low wall that could be a source of injury if finished
with mitring”.
