Schlüter®-KERDI-BOARD was chosen for the project in Llandegfedd Visitor Centre and Watersports Centre in South Wales because of its waterproofing qualities. The product was installed throughout the ground and first floor on all of the walls and floors which were to be tiled.

Llandegfedd is a water supply reservoir owned by Dwr Cymru Welsh Water which opened in 2015. It includes a state-of-the-art Water Sports and Visitor Centre hosting activities such as sailing, fishing, windsurfing, power-boating, canoeing and kayaking; there are also four walking trails around the reservoir.

Llandegfedd Visitor Centre and Watersports Centre in South Wales has recently been crowned RSAW (Royal Society of Architects in Wales) Building of the Year in the ‘RIBA Regional Awards 2016 – Wales’.

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.

There are a whole host of benefits to using Schlüter®-KERDI-BOARD, for example, it is waterproof, temperature resistant, vapour retardant, thermally insulating, quick and easy to install, lightweight and contains no cement or fibreglass, making it eco-friendly.
