SCHLUTER SYSTEMS
CREATING THE PERFECT
WETROOM WITH
SCHLUTER-SYSTEMS
When it comes to designing a wetroom, a significant amount of time
and consideration is required to get the waterproofing basics right
whilst also ensuring that the finished look and feel hits the spot.
Schlüter’s prefabricated levelling and shower tray components,
which are available with a point drainage system or a linear
drainage system.
This is where barrier-free bathrooms or wetrooms with floor-level
showers, easy-access sanitary ware and the provision of seating
areas can offer a practical, future-proof solution. The huge range of
ceramic and natural stone tiles available today means that creating
luxurious, beautiful, yet safe and slip-resistant surfaces is easily
achievable.
The linear drainage system Schlüter-KERDI-LINE complies with BS
EN 1253, providing a constant 50 mm water seal and anti-blockage
based on an 8mm ball bearing test. A welcome addition to the
KERDI-range is the KERDI-LINE-G3 drain. At just 78mm high it
offers a low-height solution whilst also meeting the requirements of
BS EN 1253 and 274.
Schlüter-Systems creates products which work best when used
together. Creating a fully waterproof bathroom or wetroom that will
stand the test of time relies on each component working both on its
own and as part of a system.
The uncoupling membrane Schlüter®-DITRA 25, serves as a
waterproofing membrane and a vapour pressure equalisation
layer, protecting tile or natural stone coverings from cracking or
debonding. The same features can also be found in the underfloor
heating system Schlüter®-DITRA-HEAT-E, making it ideal for
heated floors and walls in wetrooms with tile and stone coverings.
The tile and stone covering in the shower area must be sufficiently
sloped to allow for appropriate drainage. This is easily achieved with
With the waterproofing system accounted for and ticked off the
list, finishing the wetroom off with the perfect aesthetic is the last
piece to the puzzle, and it’s the small details that can make a big
impact. With plenty of colours and styles to choose from, Schlüter-
TRENDLINE finishing profiles can really make the tile pop and tie
the whole bathroom or wetroom together.
Specifying a fully warranted waterproofing system, along with
accessories for your wetroom is a task Schluter prides itself on
doing well. The systems offer you peace of mind and the knowledge
that they have been installed correctly and will stand the test of
time.
