Schlüter®-Systemslaunches customisable washbasin/vanity unit
Building on the success of its acclaimedKERDI-BOARD,Schlüter-Systemshas launched the customisable, prefabricatedKERDI-BOARD-W, enabling homeowners as well as architects and contractors to create a vanity unit quickly and cost-effectively.
KERDI-BOARD-W, like the company's durable and waterproof, extruded rigid-foam KERDI-BOARD, is immediately ready for tiling, while it is light weight and easy to handle; and can be combined with theKERDI-LINE-VARIOdrainage profiles.
For increased versatility, the 1¼ inch connection thread included in the set is ideally suited for combination with commercially available siphons or traps. The ready-to-use pack also contains KERDI components for secure waterproofing: including the permanently attached, elasticated KERDI collar and theKERDI-KERScorner pieces (right and left), which facilitate reliable connection to the adjoining wall.
Two variations from the KERDI-LINE-VARIO range of drainage profiles are available to choose from, which should be fitted over the outlet. These can be individually cut to size, are height adjustable and are shipped with two matching end caps.
Designed to be used with a wall mounted tap, the unit can easily be adapted to a multiplicity of on-site situations. It can be installed as a floating version with the optionally available wall brackets or can be supported on legs made of 50 mm thick Schlüter®-KERDI-BOARD.
To finish a project off with a sophisticated flourish, Schlüter'sLIPROTECsystem offers an extensive selection of profiles for custom illumination of the washbasin/vanity unit.
As well as the comprehensive product information, design details and demonstration videos available on its website, Schlüter-Systems in the UK also offers a technical advisory service ready to help both property owners and professionals.

Editor's note
Schlüter-Systems is the largest and most innovative manufacturer of system solutions for the function, protection and decoration of tile and natural stone in the world. The advantage of specifying Schlüter-Systems is the opportunity to utilise the wealth of experience gained over the last 30 years in the UK providing integrated system solutions. The levels of service, quality and training are second to none in the market today. Target sectors in the UK are the bathroom designer and installer, developer, contractor, architect and specifier.
Founded in Germany in the 1960s, Schlüter-Systems invented edge profiles for tiles over 50 years ago when company founder and master tiler Werner Schlüter introduced the industry to Schlüter®-SCHIENE. Today, the company offers a complete range of floor and wall profiles, providing edge protection, decoration & function.
In 1987, Schlüter-Systems went on to develop uncoupling membranes with the introduction of the revolutionary Schlüter®-DITRA. Today, it is a tried, tested and trusted waterproofing and uncoupling CE Marked system.
The Schlüter®-KERDI range features waterproofing membrane KERDI-200 and waterproof backerboard KERDI-BOARD, providing waterproofing options for both substrate building and existing substrates.
The company has also designed an integrated wetroom system that can be used in showers, bathrooms and changing rooms. It provides guaranteed waterproofing and drainage that work together in one solution, ensuring the water only goes where it should. In addition, a range of underfloor heating systems (electric and hydronic) has been developed to provide unique solutions for both new-build and refurbishment projects. The approach proves how combining heating, uncoupling, crack bridging and screed assemblies into a single system from one supplier saves time, money and materials.
The company also offers Intelligent lighting combined with first class profile technology - LIPROTEC. There is a choice of indirect or direct light which, combined with Schlüter's profile technology, allows the highlighting of curtain walls and illumination stairways, foyers, bathrooms and much more.
Finally, Schlüter-Systems provides solutions to ensure weather extremes do not cause damage to external tile and stone coverings or to the fabric of the building. Through the use of their balcony and terrace solutions, internal and external environments can flow seamlessly in order to achieve a lasting, protected installation.
