APPLICATION AND FUNCTION
Schlüter-KERDI is a crack bridging waterproof membrane made of soft polyethylene, which has been covered on both sides with a special fleece webbing to anchor the membrane in suitable tile adhesive.
Schlüter-KERDI has been developed for bonded waterproofing assemblies with coverings of tiles and natural stone. The waterproofing membrane should be bonded to an even, load bearing substrate with an appropriate tile adhesive. The tiles are laid directly on Schlüter-KERDI using the thinbed method. Other trowel applied covering materials or plaster may also be used.
Schlüter-KERDI-DS is a waterproofing membrane and vapour barrier bonded to a tile covering, e.g. for use in swimming pools and spa areas, as well as for commercial applications with high humidity levels. Vapour barriers also make sense for moisture sensitive substrates such as wood, plasterboard and gypsum plaster.
Accessories for Schlüter-KERDI include internal and external corners, as well as pipe collars. To seal butt joints or corner joints, Schlüter-KERDI-BAND, in widths of 8.5, 12.5, 15, 18.5 and 25 cm is available.
Schlüter-KERDI-FLEX, in widths of 12.5 cm or 25 cm, is used to seal over expansion joints or flexible edge joints.
