Schluter KERDI-Band - 5 X 165

First of all, I bought this after watching a YouTube video about how to waterproof a bathroom wall next to a shower. Since the damage occurred after only a 2 year old bathroom reno, I had to put up something I wouldnt have to repair every 2 years. The YouTube video prescribed putting down a layer of thin-set, cutting the Kerdi-band to fit the space, laying it into the thin-set, allowing to dry completely and then fill in with joint compound, painting with Kilz 3 primer because it has more water proofing, and then painting. Im not a professional, and this took time but the install went really well! I recommend Schluters Kerdi-Band for waterproofing!

This stuff is awesome, the test will be how long it lasts

Just what I needed for my shower project. Easy to work with.

Great products!

Original Kerdi brand. Worked as expected.

It is a bit more expensive than other methods to use for bathroom infrastructure, but they are quality products.

Great stuff....does the job

As expected. This is for use with the Kerdi system.

Works well

New to doing my own tiling of shower/bath surrounds. On the first bathroom I used the cheap traditional gray wire type mesh and it doesn’t stick well even though it’s “self-adhesive” and was a pain to cover well with mortar plus the top edge was beyond my tile edge and nearly impossible to cover and make look smooth once I used drywall compound and paint. I used The Kerdi mesh on the second bathroom and it is smooth and easy to apply Mapei water defense to. It left no holes or gaps for water to leak through. Kerdi brand products are pricey but I think this one is worth it from my experience.
