The waterproofing assembly, designed with a surface slope that meets the requirements of DIN 18531, protects the support structure against the penetration of water.

Schlüter-TROBA-PLUS is installed as a drainage membrane between the waterproofing layer and the load distribution layer (screed) to drain away seepage.

This load distribution layer is installed as a thin layer with the crack-free, non-buckling Schlüter-BEKOTEC-DRAIN system.

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

  1. Capillary break layer
  2. Concrete slab
  3. Sloped screed
    An adequate slope (1.5–2%) is required for drainage to ensure that the structure
    is functional
  4. Structural waterproofing acc. to DIN 18531
  5. Schlüter-TROBA-PLUS
    Passive capillary surface drainage for the effective run-off of seepage water and full-surface ventilation
  6. Schlüter-BEKOTEC-DRAIN
    Thin load distribution layer as a system for crack-free and functionally safe, floating screeds (cement screed CT-C25-F4 or pervious mortar)
  7. a) Schlüter-DITRA-DRAIN 4
    Bonded drainage membrane made of polyethylene, installed in thin-bed mortar, with the functions bonded drainage, ventilation and bonded uncoupling.
    b) Schlüter-DITRA-DRAIN 8
    Bonded drainage membrane specially designed for large areas and staircase constructions.
  8. Ceramic tiles or natural stone pavers
    Installation – also large formats – with a dry-setting, water and weather-resistant thin-bed mortar
