Waterproofing Systems

Water behind tile means mold, rot, and costly repairs. Proper waterproofing is the foundation of every shower we build.

KERDI-BOARD

Lightweight, waterproof building panel that's ready to tile. Perfect for creating niches, benches, and curbs.

  • 100% waterproof
  • Lightweight & easy to cut
  • Creates custom features
  • Schluter warranty

GO-BOARD

Foam-core, fully waterproof tile backer. Similar benefits to KERDI-BOARD with excellent thermal properties.

  • Fully waterproof
  • Excellent insulation
  • Easy installation
  • Mold resistant

KERDI Membrane

Flexible waterproofing membrane applied over cement board. The gold standard for shower waterproofing.

  • Bonds to substrate
  • Handles movement
  • Proven performance
  • Industry leading

Why It Matters

Many contractors skip proper waterproofing to save time and money. The result? Showers that leak within a few years. We use industry-leading systems because we want your shower to last 20+ years, not 5.

Shower Pan & Drain Installation

The shower pan is the most critical waterproofing layer. We offer multiple options:

Pre-Formed Shower Pans

Modern, reliable, and faster to install. Works great for standard shower sizes.

Mud Bed (Traditional)

Custom-built for unique sizes and shapes. Perfect slope guaranteed.

Linear Drains

Modern look, better drainage, allows for large format tile on floor.

Substrate Preparation

You can't build a great tile job on a bad foundation. We take substrate prep seriously.

  • Cement Board

    Durock, Hardiebacker — moisture-resistant backer for wet areas.

  • Ditra Uncoupling Membrane

    Prevents cracked tiles by allowing substrate movement.

  • Floor Leveling

    Self-leveling compound for perfectly flat surfaces—essential for large format tile.
