Product Description
Schluter-KERDI is a bonded waterproof membrane with limited crack-bridging capabilities. It is made of soft polyethylene, which is covered on both sides with a special fleece webbing to anchor the membrane in the thin-set mortar. Schluter-KERDI was developed as a waterproofing membrane to be used in conjunction with ceramic and stone tile coverings. Tiles can be installed directly on Schluter-KERDI using the thin-bed method. Other trowel-applied covering materials, such as plaster, can also be used. Pre-cut sections of Schluter-KERDI are available for inside and outside corners, as well as for pipe collars. Use Schluter-KERDI-BAND, in widths of 5" (12.5 cm), 7-1/4" (18.5 cm), or 10" (25 cm) to seal butt joints or corner joints. Schluter-KERDI-FLEX, in 5" (12.5 cm) or 10" (25 cm) widths, is used to seal expansion joints or flexible edge joints.

My wife and I purchased this to install in a 3.5' deep x 6' tall x 6' wide tub surround. Kerdi is a great product, great idea. As a do-it-yourselfer, though, I am not quite as proficient with a trowel as what some of the pros probably are. As a result it take me longer to get the mortar on the wall and comb the mortar out. When are you doing a 6 foot tall sheet of this stuff, it's not helpful to be slow with a trowel. :-) The mortar I used was Laticrete Mega Bond on Hardiebacker backer board. I thoroughly wet down the backer board before applying the mortar, which helped my working time. However, I just found that working with that large of a sheet of Kerdi did not allow me enough time to get the mortar on, combed out and then pressed into the mortar. I wasn't satisfied with the amount of contact I got between the Kerdi and the mortar, but I'm pretty certain the install will still be OK. I'd say on average I was getting about 70% contact or so. Maybe better. By the end of the project, I realized that it would have been easier to do sheets that were maybe half as wide than the full width of 3-1/2 ft (or whatever it is, I forget). For an amateur like me, I think it would have resulted in better contact with the mortar with the tradeoff of having more overlapping seams.

Initially I was going to do an old school mud type shower but after looking and listening to plenty of experts in the tile working field I decided to try the Kerdi shower system. I applied the Kerdi directly over drywall per the instructions. I even went ahead and bought the 1/8" square notch trowel. You do have to work fast so the thinset doesn't start to dry before you apply the Kerdi. I precut all the pieces before I started. Then I mixed enough unmodified thinset to do one wall. Dampen the drywall with a sponge before you apply the thinset. Overall the product was pretty easy to use if you follow the instructions. There are some good youtube videos you can find as well. My shower turned out great. I shared pictures so you can check them out in the product pictures.
