Used schluter in my last shower. Looks easy but there is definitely a learning curve. Love schluter, great product. Never tile without European technology.
Denshield makes more sense….
his mortar is way too wet
Fun fact! This membrane system is actually designed to go over regular drywall! Search for "Schluter system"
2:22 putting adhesive into corner…
It's NOT adhesive, its thinset, the thinset isn't waterproof, crap system and overpriced.
I'm a complete newbie – is there advantage to this vs. redguard or greenpaint membrane waterproofing?
Please name list of equipment.. 🙂 example: waterproofing membrane
Literally every video on youtube when people use pre fab shower pans they are pouring buckets of cement or hot mopping the hell out of the sub floor? You guys just put it on top of the subfloor and sealed it. UNREAL. So literally no one on here knows how to put in a shower pan except you guys? This is too funny.
Would you say this video is… insane in the membrane ???
