Build Fully Waterproof Tile Assemblies with One Versatile Panel
Schluter KERDI-BOARD Building Panel is a multi-functional tile substrate designed to simplify the construction of bonded waterproof tile assemblies. Engineered for strength, stability, and moisture protection, it allows contractors and homeowners to create durable tiled surfaces without relying on traditional gypsum or cement board.
Whether you are remodeling a bathroom or building a custom shower from scratch, KERDI-BOARD provides a reliable foundation for professional tile installations.
Ideal for Showers, Bathtub Surrounds, and Custom Bathroom Features
KERDI-BOARD makes it easy to design and build custom tiled elements beyond basic wall applications. Its rigid yet lightweight construction supports creative bathroom layouts and functional built-ins.
Common applications include:
-
Shower walls and enclosures
-
Bathtub surrounds and platforms
-
Custom vanities and countertops
-
Shelving, niches, and storage features
-
Partition walls and decorative elements
This flexibility allows for fully integrated waterproof tile designs throughout the space.
Waterproof, Insulating, and Dimensionally Stable Core
Manufactured from extruded polystyrene, KERDI-BOARD is inherently waterproof and resistant to moisture-related degradation. It will not swell, warp, or deteriorate when exposed to wet conditions, making it ideal for bathrooms and other moisture-prone areas.
In addition to waterproofing, the panel provides insulating properties and long-term dimensional stability. This combination helps maintain tile integrity while improving overall assembly performance.
Lightweight Yet Rigid for Easy Handling and Installation
Despite its structural rigidity, KERDI-BOARD is lightweight and easy to transport, position, and fasten. This reduces installer fatigue and simplifies handling on job sites, particularly during renovations or second-floor installations.
Its flat, impact-resistant surface creates a smooth substrate for tile, minimizing prep work and helping achieve consistent results.
Dust-Free Alternative to Cement and Gypsum Backer Boards
Unlike traditional cement board or gypsum panels, KERDI-BOARD contains no cement or fiberglass. This allows for a cleaner, dust-reduced installation process when cutting and fitting panels.
The absence of brittle materials also improves ease of modification during custom builds, making it especially practical for detailed work such as shelving, benches, and architectural features.
Engineered Surface for Strong Tile Bonding
The integrated non-woven fleece on the surface ensures effective bonding with thin-set mortar. This promotes secure adhesion of ceramic tile, porcelain, and natural stone finishes within bonded waterproof assemblies.
By combining a waterproof core with a tile-ready surface, Schluter KERDI-BOARD streamlines the construction process while delivering long-term durability for professional-quality results.
