Waterproofing in an essential component in a bath remodel. In my opinion, waterproofing is the most important step. For more information on SCHLUTER KERDI PRODUCTS - click here.

I bring a building science background to your bathroom remodel project. Schluter KERDI is 8-mil thick and has a water vapor permeance of 0.90 perms, when tested according to ASTM E96, using Procedure E at 90% relative humidity. This membrane does not allow water or water vapor that soaks past the grouting into the walls, corners, floor or curbs.
Why are you hiring me to remodel a bathroom that has severely deteriorated?
Why won’t cleaning remove the mildew in the shower grouting?
I have worked in the residential remodeling industry for 15 years and I am surprised how few remodelers use waterproofing prior to the new tile installation. Some remodelers think using cement wall board instead of drywall in the shower is waterproofing. Only installing wallboard and tile allows water to soak into the walls, which over time, never dries out. Let’s get this right!
