Return Authorization Requests (RA) | Return Policy

Pasted from Schluter Pricebook "Schluter shall not accept any returns unless it specifically authorizes such in writing, which may be granted or withheld in Schluter’s sole and absolute discretion. Under no circumstances shall Schluter accept any returned Products after thirty (30) days from such Products’ invoice date. Any authorized returns must be in resellable condition subject to inspection by Schluter prior to acceptance of same. All authorized returns shall incur a handling charge of 25%." We understand that there may be scenarios that will need to be considered, but we ask that you look into the option of liquidating material vs sending it back to Schluter. The 25% restock fee is to help Schluter re-coup costs of handling material twice as material must be received and inspected before a credit can be issued and items put back into inventory. You may email csrreno@schluter.com or creditusa@schluter.com to request an RA if the material is within the 30 day invoice wind...

EXPANSION JOINTS | Schluter DITRA Installation Handbook & TCNA EJ171

Image
SCHLUTER DITRA INSTALLATION HANDBOOK MOVEMENT JOINTS | Pages 15-17  DISCUSSION Movement joints are an integral part of any tile assembly. The various components of a tile assembly (tile, mortar, substrate, etc.) have unique physical characteristics that affect their behavior. Specifically, these components will expand and contract at different rates, according to each component’s intrinsic physical properties, with changes in moisture, temperature, and loading (both dead and live loads). This differential expansion/contraction of attached components results in internal stresses. Furthermore, structures that restrain overall expansion of the tile field (walls, columns, etc.) cause stress buildup within the system. If the aforementioned movements are not accommodated through the use of movement joints in the tile field and at restraining structures, the resulting stresses can cause cracking of the grout and tile and delamination of the tile from the substrate. Thus, movement joints a...

KERDI-SHOWER-CB for KERDI Drain Adapter

Image
If you are familiar with our Schluter KERDI-Drain/KERDI-Line adapters (for tying the KERDI shower system into a pre-installed two stage drain), and you want to use a Schluter Shower Tray , then you know the tray will need to be lifted so that the drain flange will nest properly onto the shower tray recess. This is because the drain body and the adapter are installed over the subfloor rising above the surface enough to inhibit proper flange nesting on the tray. The solution required the installer to source enough 1/2" backer to fully embed beneath the shower tray to lift it enough so that the flange would nest properly. Usually this required two layers of 1/2" beneath the tray. Schluter now offers a 1" thick foam compensation board called KERDI-Shower-CB ( KSCB 25 610 1220 ), which is a 48" x 24". When you purchase this SKU, you get a bundle that includes 6 of these boards at just $27.20 MSRP! This will save time and money when seeking material to lift the sho...

Which APP for Which Thermostat?

Image
Why are there two different APPs for the DITRA-Heat thermostats? Yes. There are two separate APPs for the two thermostats, WiFi and Smart respectively. The reason is that the RS1 Smart thermostat with the glass finish is smart assistant enabled, and it has a geotracking feature that the WiFi thermostat does not offer. This means you can control the thermostat with your voice, and it will recognize when you have left your established geo-fence, and the floor will turn off.  Below are screenshots of the the thermostats and their respective APPs via the Apple APP store. APPs are also available on the Android platform. DITRA-Heat E WiFi Thermostat (Below) Schluter ® -DITRA-HEAT-E-WiFi is a programmable Wi-Fi thermostat used to control DITRA-HEAT-E-HK heating cables.
