Systems for new construction and renovation
|
Iserlohn / Bologna. The system solutions of Schlüter-Systems for the installation of tiles and slabs in outdoor areas took up a large section of the company's tradeshow exhibit. The company was presenting solutions for new construction, but also for fast and easy renovation projects.
The comprehensive product assortment of Schlüter-Systems allows professional tile installers to offer complete balcony structures from one source. Schlüter offers a complete program of matching components for everything from waterproofing to wall joints and from edge profiles to drainage systems.
In Bologna, Schlüter-Systems exhibited both construction types that are structured over bituminous sealant layers and a fast and uncomplicated variation, in which the tiles are installed on top of a waterproofing and uncoupling mat that immediately tops the sloped screed.
Due to weather influences in conjunction with installation errors from the past, a large number of tile installations in outdoor areas require renovation. Models on display at the Schlüter booth gave a good illustration of "tile over tile" renovations done with the crack-bridging uncoupling mat Schlüter-DITRA on top of old coverings. According to the manufacturer, this saves time and eliminates the problem of disposing of the old tiles - both points every homeowner and builder is happy to hear about.
