Default Re: Tiling a house prone to flooding

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 pavers.

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 applied. 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 moisturesensitive substrates such as wood, plasterboard and gypsum plaster.
