Universal substrate Schlüter®-KERDI-BOARD was used throughout Llandegfedd Visitor Centre and Watersports Centre in South Wales, which has recently been named as RSAW (Royal Society of Architects in Wales) Building of the Year in the ‘RIBA Regional Awards 2016 – Wales’.

Schlüter®-KERDI-BOARD was chosen for the project because of its waterproofing qualities and was installed throughout the ground and first floor on all of the walls and floors which were to be tiled.

The unique substrate offers a revolutionary approach to tiling and acts as a multifunctional tile substrate for floors and walls, meaning it can be used, not just to create bonded waterproofing assemblies with tile coverings, but it also acts as a structural panel.

Schlüter®-KERDI-BOARD is waterproof, temperature resistant, vapour retardant, thermally insulating, quick and easy to install, lightweight and contains no cement or fibreglass, making it eco-friendly.

It provides a quick, flat and even substrate to tile. It’s easy and clean to cut thanks to its helpful 10mm grid markings and whilst the board is lightweight it’s also extremely strong, holding far more weight than plasterboard. It’s these characteristics that set the product apart allowing for the very best in tile installations.”
