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, stunning, yet safe slip-resistant surfaces is easily achievable.
Schlüter-Systems can help protect those stunning installations whilst providing a complete solution for a CE marked waterproof floor-level shower area. The uncoupling membrane, Schlüter®-DITRA 25 which has been tried, tested and trusted for over 25 years, 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 the prefabricated levelling and shower tray components which are available with a point drainage system or a component linear drainage system.
The horizontal and vertical linear drainage system, Schlüter®-KERDI-LINE has been updated to ensure that it meets BS EN 1253, providing a constant 50 mm water seal and to meet flow requirements which is in compliance with National House Building Council (NHBC) regulations to offer a complete system solution.
Schlüter-Systems has a long history of providing solutions for the application of tile and stone and has project case studies where their systems and solutions have been used.
