🚿How do you waterproof a tile shower in 2022? Woodstock, GA #tileshower #diy🚿

Schluter systems coupled with Ardex 8+9 will ensure a waterproof, LIFETIME tiled shower. We’re building them, Woodstock, GA.

How many times can a man say "waterproof" in one video?😂

This is how we waterproof a tile shower:

A tile shower using Schluter Kerdi foam board and fabric put together with water proof glue Ardex 8+9. The ultimate WATERPROOF TILE SHOWER in Woodstock, GA.

We're tilers out of Woodstock, GA and waterproofing tile showers is and will always be, very important to us.

Because the waterproofing is what makes any tile shower LAST.

After all, why do we use tile?

We use and love tile because it is a LIFETIME finish. One and done. Comfortable and relaxing, utilitarian, functional.👍👍

That's why tile is considered one of the lowest cost finishes, BECAUSE IT'S SUPPOSED TO LAST A VERY, VERY LONG TIME.

The cost is spread out over many, many years of use.💲

That's why "HOW DO YOU WATERPROOF?" is such an important question when buying a shower:

📢Because without protecting the wooden GUTS from the buckets and buckets of water processed everyday during a shower, your shower will fail PREMATURELY.📢

Wood and water don't mix!

I always say: TILER ERROR EQUALS TILE FAILURE!💩💩

Get it waterproofed. It's so important.

Verify how it's being done.

Get a FLOOD TEST.
