Requesting Racks & Assembly Schematics

Schluter offers racks to help organize and warehouse any product from profiles to membranes and accessories.  Standard racks are available at no cost to customers on condition of a completed and returned (1) schedule and (2) agreement.  These documents will be requested by your Schluter territory manager and sent directly to the requesting customer. They help us know which types of racks are placed where, and the agreement states (basically) that Schluter owns the racks - do not alter them or use them for competitive product.

Once we have the signed and returned agreement and schedule, the rack can be requested through your chosen distribution partner.  They will request the rack with their next stock purchase order.  After the rack arrives at the distributor location, that respective distributor will notify the local Schluter territory manager and requesting customer.  The rack may then be picked up and installed by either party.

Below are the racks available at no cost with completed agreement and schedule. Click here to download the single complete brochure.








We also offer VOX rack programs that ship with inventory to fill them, and as such DO HAVE COST associated with them.  These are much much more showroom appropriate.  For more information about the VOX options, please contact me.  An example photo of the VOX rack included below.

Exterior Applications | Introduction to Pedestals/TROBA-Level

A NEW APPROACH TO EXTERIOR APPLICATIONS. Due to our harsh climate in the intermountain region (either baked by the Sun, or vulnerable to freeze/thaw conditions - or even both) tile assemblies see limited success. In fact, it’s safe to say that it’s not if an assembly is going to show distress - but when . As such, Schluter has implemented a process to protect the installer, end user and ourselves by evaluating exterior requests on a case by case basis and thus eliminating high risk jobs. Exterior applications need time to study, plan, specify, estimate and install. They cannot be rushed, and ‘best’ assemblies cannot be assumed.  The LETTER OF EXPLANATION will lay out what Schluter will require before we can work towards creating a detail specific to a respective application. The CONSTRUCTION CHECKLIST has bullet points that must be addressed. This document must be signed and dated by the respective parties involved (i.e. contractor, GC or/and home owner). The EXTERIOR PRICELIST  is

2024 Illustrated Price List Update

Pricelists for each new year will be physically and digitally available each year in March. Price increases (if there will be any) will take affect with the new price book for that release year every April 1st. As of now, I am currently unaware of any price increases. That is not to say there will not be any; I am just not yet informed as to what will be released. Schluter is moving toward a greener initiative by promoting the Schluter APP and the downloaded-able PDF with integrated navigational links (my personal choice). These two options will always be the fastest/earliest to access, and always up to date. In March, a limited/monitored number of physical copies (hard and spiral bound) will automatically be allocated and shipped to each distributor and Schluter Authorized Dealer (ASD). Customers may request a physical copy from their distributor or dealer of choice, or contact csrusa@schluter.com to request a copy. Sales reps may of course provide them as well. Please feel free to r
