Floor Elf Kerdi

It s all fun and games until you have no place to store your rubber duckies.

Floor elf kerdi.

Kerdi band is a waterproofing membrane designed to bridge the seams in ditra. Kerdi fix is a urethane sealant made specifically for kerdi products and waterproofs seams. You need as close to full coverage as you can get and the resin if it softens or comes off won t provide that. 6 apply a 10 inch wide strip of kerdi band along all floor to wall transitions using thinset mortar.

I saw your laticrete pan on a previous post and wondered how you selected it from all the others. Do you buy these at a big box store your local plumbing supply store or do you have an online source. Kerdi fix is a urethane sealant made specifically for kerdi products and waterproofs seams. For the purposes of this post you will need 1 2 kerdi board 3 5 4 square feet for a 2 x 1 niche and a tube of kerdi fix.

Don t have any idea what that means. I am building a 2 foot high niche by 1 foot wide. At a schluter workshop they said that after curing the kerdi onto the foam tray it has a strength of 500 sqin. It requires no mud job or waterproofing membrane but it does require direct access to the studs of the shower.

Begin by cutting all the pieces to the appropriate size. If you are familiar with waterproofing a shower floor with schluter kerdi or any other topical membrane including liquids you know that you need a topical drain. When using kerdi for your shower floor you need to make a hole in it for the drain. If you don t then you simply have a shallow swimming pool rather than a shower.

5 remove the tub be safe and have a helper for these next few steps. Cut away any caulk between the tub and floor with a utility knife. I ll read some on the floor elf thanks for that tip. These differ from a regular clamping drain because they do not have an integrated weep system.

The piece for the back of the niche will be the largest 24 1 2 x 12. Slide the tub out of the alcove using the 1 x 4 boards as skids. An acrylic shower pan is an easier installation than a tile pan. This hole must be the exact size and it must be in the correct spot.

Schluter kerdi wedi traditional etc. Question about the fixtures. However i have discovered a way to create a niche very easily with much less work and time involved kerdi board. Now if the resin dissolves in wet conditions and it covers a lot of the area of the back i d be worried.
