Ideal tile substrate over green masonry or existing/mixed substrates
Wood or metal stud frames
Stud frame structures made of wood or metal are typically covered with drywall or wooden panels. However, such materials are typically unsuitable as tile substrates, particularly in areas with high moisture. Schlüter-KERDI-BOARD is quick and easy to install as a substrate for tile coverings over stud frame structures of wood or metal, using the screws included in our hardware assortment.
The panel joints should be located on the studs. Otherwise the abutting panels must be attached with adhesive. Schlüter-KERDI-BOARD can be installed vertically as well as horizontally. Immediately after the proper attachment of Schlüter-KERDI-BOARD, tiles can be professionally installed with a suitable thin-bed mortar without the need for any further preparatory steps.
