INVISIBLE SHOWER DRAIN!!!-- How to Use a Schluter Kerdi-Line Tileable Grate

Ойын-сауық

Are you looking to minimize the appearance of your shower drain? Then a Schluter Kerdi Line drain with a tileable grate may be what you want. For a modern, sleek design that is easy to clean a tileable grate allows you to achieve an invisible look . In this video, I show how to correctly attach the tiles to the grate with thinset mortar to obtain 100% mortar coverage to reduce the chance of broken or chipped tiles and/or mildew or mold growth under the grate.

    Kerdi line drains are so much fun to install! I think 2015 in Santa Barbara I must have done 15-20 of those things. Even did the double. Demand for them have diminished around here. Think I’ve done 1 in the last year. people don’t like the maintenance required to have a trench drain...because dude, they get pretty gross under the grate if not cleaned often. Amazing work as always man!

    18:35 Looks really great. Like packing the linear drains with grout as well(even though thin set does work), as it helps “match” everything up & imo, blends together pretty well with everything else. Also like using my grout & caulk finishing tools for stuff like this, as they help pack the grout into the “air pockets/empty spaces” along with helps make a smooth profile w/o making a mess. But, everyone has their favorite tools for the job; it’s what makes seeing how other ppl do the “same job” interesting f cool, imo. Thx for this series Isaac; think the length of the vids was great. Enjoyed watching every bit of what you cut together for us from you & your crew👍🏻 Really excited to see the new “country bathroom” job you’ve got going in now. Cheers✌🏼 Your KZread channels homepage background pic(natural stone from biz website showroom), is one of my favs you guys’ have done. Love the colour, look, & feel.

    How about taping the drain and up the wall and tile with painters tape (or line with plastic sheeting) to prevent the grate from adhering to the drain? Also, Schluter should put some leveling feet under the grate so the height can be adjusted after tiling.

  • @elifire4147
    @elifire41474 жыл бұрын

    How much height did you need on the bathroom floor to get the linear drain on the back wall of a large shower like that? Did you recess it ~1" and raise the floor ~1" like you did in previous videos? I recessed my shower pan subfloor but only got 1" from the 3/4 plywood + 1/4 hardie board. I can maybe get another 1/4" from waterproof membrane but its a 52" deep shower so if I go by the 1/4" per foot slope that's around 2". Thanks.

    I just finished a linear drain shower. Its def true that those tiles will chip... have you thought of trimming it with schluter? After doing these Tilable linear drains, I'm not really impressed with the finished outcome. I removed the hair catcher in my last one so the wouldnt need to remove the cover as often

    Just installed my tileable grate following your video. I really notice the unfinished edges of the tile though through the drain gap - It's a grey tile with a plain porcelain edge. What are my options to finish that edge? If I had known I could have installed tile edging before placing the tile. You would think the schluter directions would mention that.

    Can you do a herring bone pattern that continues across a tileable grate with approx 3 by 10 inch tiles or will that leave too many grout lines to deal with on the grate. Concerned about grouting on the cantilevered portion hanging over on the wall side

    I wonder if you could figure out how high you need (assuming it’s all level) install it out of the drain (like on a table) to attain 100% coverage then replace it into the drain.

    Hi Issac, great videos I love your teaching style and your experiments! I’m just curious, knowing you put down the 8+9 water proofing I still feel like it needs a bead of caulking from the bottom edge of the patterned wall tile to the edge of the drain pan. Is this necessary or is the grout layer sufficient? Also, curious why you didn’t go over the veridical 2” seems of the Kerdi with the 8+9, for all the water damage your client had I would have been so nervous about leaks I would have painted the walls too 😅 haha that’s just me though. P.S. The drain flange was giving you such trouble, I was thinking it might be easier to notch or cut the corners with scissors beforehand....☺️
