Brett Mauney, CTC, CTI, Merkrete’s technical sales manager, offers advice on how to offset any issues that might arise before, during and after a shower installation. His tips include how to do your due diligence before starting, figure out which waterproofing options are best, talks liquid-applied membranes and advises to find a manufacturer whose products will help set you up for success.

Merkrete Hydro Guard SP-1’s ultimate elongation, adhesion and strength properties provide a 100% waterproof membrane that limits the transfer of substrate cracks to the finished ceramic or stone tile surface.

Schluter-Ditra-XL provides the same four essential functions as Schluter-Ditra, but the increased thickness of Ditra-XL allows for even transitions between typical ceramic tile and ³/₄-inch-thick hardwood flooring.

The wider roll of Schluter-Kerdi waterproof membrane is now available in two different lengths.

SikaTile's 100 Moisture Guard is a single component, fast-drying, thin mil, load-bearing waterproofing, and crack isolation membrane for installation under ceramic tile or stone in both residential and commercial environments.

New product offerings and installation practices will be exhibited at the company's booth (3419) and Live Installation Demo Stage (3022).
