Schluter Kerdi board

[Qwerty]

I'm thinking of starting to use Schlüter Kerdi board for my wet room installations over the next few months as I only hear positive things about it.

How many of us on the forum use it, what are your thoughts and where do you buy it from

Thats a good question, where do you buy it from....

 

[Qwerty]

Very limited places (and only in bulk) from what I can see?

I get mine via Euxton tiles (you could try other abcd group members).

It's simply the best, nicest to use, fastest way to create bonded waterproofing.
Once you've had a go it's hard to go back to other boards.

I hate how it comes in for a slagging off for being "expensive" - it's a premium product.
Peeps will moan about cost and then spend a full day farting around with a tanking kit when I can prep a wet area in a couple of hours.
Time saved = money made

impish how do you compare Kerdi to other boards like WEDI , MARMOX etc. ? Would like to start using Kerdi but not sure about differences ?

The best difference (for me anyway) isn't so much a technical one but it's the ease with which you can cut and trim these which makes them the best for me.
No crusty cement face to blunt blades or create dust.
I also find the printed grid handy when it comes to marking out for recesses and planning where cuts will fall.

Just a very very nice product to work with.
Nothing at all wrong with Wedi and Marmox, but Kerdi Boards are just that bit better!
Ease of use means a more enjoyable job, and they're a tad quicker to use too.

Thanks impish for quick reply , it looks like it's time to try them out at last !

I've started to use kerdi board. Excellent product, saves time as its easy to cut and fix. I've used it quite a bit and its very easy for bath panels and boxing in of pipes etc.
