Waterproofing Kit for Baths

Schluter Systems’ new Kerdi-Board Kit includes everything an installer needs to waterproof walls around an acrylic shower base or standard tub surround before tile installation. The kit includes eight pieces of 1/2-inch-thick, 48-inch-by-38- inch Kerdi-Board waterproof building panels, a 5-inch Kerdi-Band waterproof membrane, and two tubes of Kerdi-Fix sealing and bonding compound, which can create a waterproof seal around the shower base or tub flange. A 4 1/2-inch mixing-valve seal, 3/4-inch pipe seal, and 1/2-inch pipe seal are also included. The kit costs $600. schluter.com
