Installation of Glass Tile over a Sealed Shower System

The Schluter-Shower System is a waterproofing system for showers, steam showers and tub surrounds. It is used to create a waterproof and vaportight enclosure prior to setting the tile. If the KERDI is installed properly (i.e., Schluter ALL-Set/Schluter SET or non-Schluter branded unmodified thinset thin-set mortar with 2" overlaps, etc.) in conjunction with the KERDI-DRAIN, KERDI-LINE and VARIO, then Schluter Systems will guarantee a waterproof and vaportight enclosure.  However, Schluter-Systems cannot guarantee the performance of the glass tile over KERDI. The KERDI membrane features a fleece webbing that will accept a bond to Schluter modified and non-modified mortars, and any commercially available premium grade non-modified thin-set mortars used to install tile. Furthermore, we recommend relatively stable backings for KERDI in our Handbook to promote successful tile installations. We know that ceramic, porcelain, and stone tiles can be bonded with ANSI A118.1 unmodified th

Once the location of the sensor(s) has been determined, carefully remove the tile over the heat wire and proceed with the thermistor replacement as shown below. Please contact our customer service team if you need assistance locating sensors. They will create a case and reach out to the area field technical manager. csrusa@schluter.com 888-472-4588 ext 2 PHOTO 1 and PHOTO 2 Cut off at least 6” from the thermistor end of the replacement  Black/Black sensor wire. Cut off at least 6” of the end of the installed  Red /Black sensor wire. NOTE : Photo 1 shows a method of repositioning a sensor wire to the middle of three puck spaced heat wire. This should carefully be done with a paddle bit and is only an option over a wood subfloor. Do not run sensor wires over the top or underneath of heat wires.
