output performance. In fact, an electric UFH system is the most cost-effective solution for bathroom areas – cheaper to install and offering comfort underfoot, quickly warming up when required.
HOW DO YOU FIX KERDI-200 POLYETHYLENE MEMBRANE FOR BONDED WATERPROOFING ASSEMBLIES OFFERING A VAPOUR RETARDANT VALUE OF SD = 5.15?
A cement-based tile adhesive of min classification C2 should be spread using a 3x3 or 4x4mm notched trowel, and the membrane rollered into place. Most installers would use a rapid setting adhesive, normally with a setting time of a couple of hours, so that they can lay the tiles as quickly as possible. Ready mixed adhesives are to be avoided as they would never set because they cannot dry out behind the membrane.

When using either KERDI, or KERDI-BOARD, it is crucial to correctly joint the overlaps; and, unfortunately, tile cement – as with grout – simply does not offer the necessary waterproof performance. The safest and best solution is to employ the Schlüter KERDI-KEBA sealer band and two- part KERDI-COLL adhesive.

Once the tradesperson is confident in their positioning, the adhesive surface’s grab is initiated by applying firm pressure with a trowel or roller, after which the membrane cannot be lifted again. Peel & Stick is continuing to open up new market opportunities for Schlüter particularly where the customer is concerned about tackling timber floors.
Basically, Peel & Stick simplifies the logistics of getting everything needed to the work area, especially on upper floors, and avoids the problems associated with timber’s sensitivity to moisture. The ready-to-lay membrane is also ideally suited to overlaying P5, as long as it is stable and deflection free. Cement-based tile adhesive simply does not offer long-term performance in such situations.
WHERE WOULD YOU USE KERDI INSTEAD OF KERDI-BOARD?
KERDI was developed to be laid over existing substrates, such as plasterboard and also moisture resisting plasterboard. It is used to create waterproof backgrounds, saving both time and cost when creating wetrooms. Available in a range of thicknesses, KERDI-BOARD provides the same dependable waterproofing performance, but is utilised as a tilebacker or for the creation countertops and other fitted units amongst other applications.
