SHOWER SYSTEM

The support profiles are combined with either

the SHOWERPROFILE-WSL insert or the

SHOWERPROFILE-WSC insert.

Schluter

-SHOWERPROFILE-WSL is an

upright insert made of transparent polyurethane.

The insert is collapsible when stepped on or

rolled over with a wheelchair. The insert protrudes

1-5/32" (29 mm) above the profile surface. The

SHOWERPROFILE-WSL insert does not comply

with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA),

since it exceeds the allowable height of a vertical

transition despite being collapsible. Please

check with local code officials for acceptance

on projects where ADA guidelines must be

observed before installation.

Schluter

-SHOWERPROFILE-WSC is a semi-

circular insert made of semi-rigid PVC. The

insert creates an inconspicuous transition from

the shower area to the adjoining space and a

5/8" (16 mm) –wide visible surface. The insert

protrudes 3/64" (1.2 mm) above the profile

surface. The SHOWERPROFILE-WSC insert

complies with the Americans with Disabilities

Act (ADA).

Material Properties and Areas of

Application

The SHOWERPROFILE-WS/-WSK support

profiles feature an anodized aluminum layer

that retains uniform appearance during normal

use. The surface, however, is susceptible to

scratching and wear and may be damaged

by grout or setting material. Cementitious

materials, in conjunction with moisture, become

alkaline. Since aluminum is sensitive to alkaline

substances, exposure to the alkali (depending

on the concentration and duration of exposure)

may result in corrosion (aluminum hydroxide

formation). Therefore, it is important to remove

mortar or grout residue immediately from visible

surfaces. In addition, ensure the profile is solidly

embedded in the setting material and that all

cavities are filled to prevent the collection of

alkaline water.

The SHOWERPROFILE-WSL insert is made of

highly flexible polyurethane.

The SHOWERPROFILE -WSC insert is made of

semi-rigid PVC.

The inserts can withstand chemical stresses

typically encountered in tiled environments.

Maintenance

SHOWERPROFILE-WS/-WSK support profiles

require no special maintenance or care and

are resistant to mold and fungi. In the case

of anodized aluminum, do not use abrasive

cleaning agents. The SHOWERPROFILE-WSC/

-WSL inserts are specifically treated to resist

the growth of fungi and bacteria and require no

special maintenance or care.

Application and Function

8.3 Schluter

-KERDI-FIX is a single-

component, waterproof sealing and bonding

compound with a silane-modified polymer base,

which can be used in various applications. In

conjunction with KERDI, KERDI-FIX can be used

to waterproof pipe and valve protrusions in the

Schluter

- Shower System. KERDI-FIX is used

to bond the KERDI membrane to the stainless

steel KERDI-DRAIN bonding flange. KERDI-FIX

can also be used to bond KERDI to building

elements such as bathtubs, window elements

and door frames.

Material Properties and

Areas of Application

KERDI-FIX is odorless, weather- and UV-resistant.

The product is elastomeric, free of solvents,

and provides a strong bond to most materials,

including wood, stone, concrete, metal, glass,

and many synthetic materials. KERDI-FIX can be

painted over with most alkyd resins or dispersion

paint types. The suitability of the material must

be verified based on the anticipated chemical,

mechanical, and/or other stresses. KERDI-FIX is

not recommended in or around swimming pool

applications.

KERDI-FIX has been evaluated according to the

"Standard Method for the Testing and Evaluation

of Volatile Organic Chemical Emissions from

Indoor Sources Using Environmental Chambers,

Version 1.1" for California Specification 01350

and found to comply with the VOC requirements.

California Specification 01350 is referenced by

various green building standards and rating

systems.

Maintenance

Storage

Unopened packages of KERDI-FIX can be

stored in a cool location that is above freezing

temperatures for up to 18 months.

Once the cartridge has been opened, the

material has a limited shelf life.
