Q: How long does the Schluter warranty coverage last?

Many Schluter products, including Ditra and Kerdi, come with a limited lifetime warranty. This protects against defects for as long as you own your home when installed per Schluter's guidelines. See schluter.com for full warranty details.

Q: Can Schluter systems be used in steam showers?

Yes, Schluter's Kerdi membrane is specially designed for steam room applications. When installed according to Schluter's recommendations, the waterproofing ability of Kerdi prevents moisture damage and allows for stress-free steam shower usage.

Q: How do I maintain my Schluter shower or installation?

Since Ditra waterproofs the entire assembly, routine maintenance is minimal. Use pH neutral cleaners on tile surfaces. Any damaged grout joints should be repaired as needed to prevent moisture access. Seal grout lines annually with a penetrating sealer.
