T08 Sales Reps (Northern UT/NV and Southwest WY)

My role has recently evolved from Territory Manager to Commercial Manager, and recently to U.S. Local Product Specialist (LPS). In my new position, I will be focused on understanding the needs of the U.S. markets as they relate to the Profile product family. I will represent the sales team and our customers for product management.

My contact information remains unchanged. While I will continue to assist with inquiries related to my previous roles as time allows, my new responsibilities are requiring an increasing amount of my time.

To ensure you receive the best support, below you will find the names and contact information for the sales representatives serving Northern Utah, Nevada, and Southwest Wyoming. Please feel free to contact them directly with any questions or needs.

DIV22 | Schluter DF32 KERDI Collar | aka Spy Hat or Sombrero

Image
There may be scenarios where (1) our Schluter drain adapter will not properly adapt to an older and existing drain body, or (2) architects or designers may have specified a drain grate that is not compatible with our system. While we want to point all contractors and projects to our drain line up, we acknowledge that there may be scenarios out of our control and we want to support those projects as much as we can. The DF32 KERDI Collar is not listed in our printed price books, but it is known and stocked by some distributors. MSRP as of February 2026 is $15.64 per collar. To verify current pricing and for availability contact our inside sales team by emailing CSRRENO@schluter.com or calling 888-472-4588 .  We do not have any official Schluter Systems installation videos, but we do have a PDF that explains the purpose and illustrates the detail.

DITRA-Heat in Shower | Detail & Tray Adjustments

Image
Installing DITRA-Heat in a shower increases the floor assembly height by the thickness of the membrane used; 1/4” for DITRA-Heat membrane and 5/16” for DITRA-Heat DUO membrane. DH-SH-23 is the detail taken from the DITRA-Heat installation handbook with critical information for installing DITRA-Heat in a shower application. Photos of the detail are included below. When Using Schluter Shower Trays Remove the center break-out section of the tray that supports the drain flange, highlighted in green below. Use the break-out as a template to cut a ring out of the DITRA-Heat membrane that you are using.  Install the DITRA-Heat membrane underneath the break-out support to lift the flange assembly up to meet the DITRA-Heat membrane that will be installed over the shower tray as shown below.   KERDI waterproofing membrane must be installed over the wire in the shower floor so that the sealed waterproof envelope is over the whole assembly. For KERDI-Line drains, use the grey foa...

DITRA-Heat Testing & Alert Devices

Image
Schluter requires 3 sets of 3 tests for a 10 year warranty, and a 4th test for an additional 5 years.  We recommend 3 sets of tests at 3 different times during a wire installation.   First set of tests while wire is ON THE SPOOL . Second set of tests AFTER SNAPPING INTO MEMBRANE . Third set of tests after tile install, but BEFORE GROUTING . TEST 1 | Resistance Test REQUIRED (Red to Black/White to Black) TEST 2 | Continuity Test REQUIRED (Red/Black to Ground or White/Black to Ground) TEST 3 | Insulation Test OPTIONAL (Red/Black to Ground or White/Black to Ground) TEST 4 | Sensor kOhm Test REQUIRED (Temp determines readout) We do this because a resistance alert device will only tell you one thing - has the wire been completely cut .  There is further damage that can happen to a wire that will affect its performance and life without an alert device ever ‘screaming’ at you.

Exterior Detail Process

Image
EXTERIOR DETAIL REQUEST PROCESS Due to our harsh climate in the intermountain region (either baked by the Sun, or vulnerable to freeze/thaw conditions - or 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 . Distress does not necessarily mean poor or failed install. Weather adversely affects even good installations. As such, Schluter has implemented a process to protect the installer, end user and us 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 re...
