Why Schluter Systems Matter for Your Shower

When it comes to shower and bathroom tile installations, waterproofing isn’t optional—it’s essential. That’s why at CorContracting, we’re proud to be Schluter Systems Certified Installers. Here’s what that means for your project.

What is Schluter Systems?

Schluter Systems is a German company that’s been the industry leader in tile installation products for over 50 years. Their waterproofing membranes, uncoupling mats, and finishing profiles are the gold standard in the industry.

Why Certification Matters

Being a Schluter Certified Installer means we’ve completed specialized training and passed rigorous testing on proper installation techniques. This isn’t a weekend course—it requires demonstrating hands-on proficiency.

Many contractors claim to use Schluter products, but without proper training, they can install them incorrectly, defeating the purpose entirely.

The Problem with Traditional Methods

Traditional shower waterproofing methods often fail. Plastic liner behind cement board can tear or puncture. Paint-on membranes can be applied too thin. These failures lead to water infiltration, mold growth, and expensive repairs.

How Schluter Protects Your Investment

Schluter’s KERDI membrane creates a continuous waterproof barrier from the curb to the ceiling. Combined with their DITRA uncoupling mat, your tile installation is protected from both water damage and cracking due to substrate movement.

When you choose CorContracting for your bathroom remodel, Schluter waterproofing is included at no extra charge. We believe every shower deserves this level of protection.
