The bonded waterproofing assembly Schlüter-KERDI, which is bonded with hydraulically setting thin-bed mortar, protects the supporting structure, which is designed with a surface slope, against permeating moisture.

The passive capillary bonded drainage membrane Schlüter-DITRA-DRAIN is installed in an adhesive between the waterproofing layer and the tile covering. This results in broad ventilation of the top covering, which in turn promotes the quick and even drying/curing of the thin-bed mortar.

The uncoupling function of Schlüter-DITRA-DRAIN neutralises any occurring stresses.
