Schluter Systesm Kerdi Shower Trays (KST1830 72"X72" CENTER)

This was the first time I used a pre-formed shower underlayment and doubt that I will ever go back to the previous method (deck mud and membrane liners). The primary reason is time and ease of installation. If done right, using multiple layers of deck mud and membrane sealer can take a couple weeks to completely dry, which I find is most important to avoid grout cracks and broken tiles. Plus, it was always a challenge to get the slope just right to avoid pooling.All I had to do was trim the tray to fit and apply the tape to the edges and I was done! The slope was perfect and the drain fit right in (also used the Schluter assembly). I installed the heated floor wire the next day. I have built three showers with deck mud and after using this tray, I am definitely planning on using this for future projects.

so easy to install...peace of mind warranty. makes tile jobs so easy...just wish schluter products were cheaper...but for peace of mind and ease, it is worth every penny!!!

The media could not be loaded. Easy to use. I used this on my semi frameless shower. Only 2 inches high. Helped me to build a very unique design for my bathroom. I DIY. FIRST TIME USING IT AND IT WORKS WELL. I did not like the drain ring as much. But i am confident it will hold. I added red gauard only at the corners and in a circle around the DRAIN ring. USE THE DRAIN RING. It is there for a reason. It's a great solution for what i wanted.

Han we installed 2 of these in our house, they are by far the best you can get. 1 install was new and replaced a tub , the other replaced a sub standard shower floor from a different manufacturer. The quality of these are very good and easy to install/modify to fit your needs.

I am a remodeling contactor. I stopped using these foam bases several years ago because we were having problems with the foam compressing during installation and some after a short time in service. We changed to a hybrid system of reinforced conrete base with the shluter drain and membrane on that. A few moths ago i decided to order one of the foam bases again to give them another try. I was pleasantly surprised. These are much improved in 3 ways. 1) They are now reasonably priced 2) They changed the foam type to be very dense with more than enough compression resistance. 3) The pre applied membrane to the base which originally had to be feild applied.I will go back to using these again for standard footprint showers. Highly recommend.

I have used both KBRS and now Schulter and also built one with mortar. By far the easiest is KBRS but they are a little expensive if you have a non-standard size for the shower. The Schulter drain is huge and you have to use one designed for this shower pan. The paper that comes with the pan doesn't stick well to the elastic paint. It is just a poor design, the KBRS drain is superior to this shower pan's drain. Other than that, it was an easy install.

Must start out with a level base

This is a really great deal, saves lots of time n money, super easy to install
