Common Questions

Does KERDI membrane need to dry before tiling?

After properly installing the KERDI membrane on the substrate (e.g., wall or floor), it is crucial to allow the membrane to cure and dry before proceeding with the tile installation. This drying period ensures that the membrane has adhered securely to the substrate and provides a stable surface for the tile adhesive.

Can you use modified Thinset with KERDI?

Using modified thinset with KERDI is not recommended because modified thinset contains additives, such as polymers, that can interfere with the proper installation and performance of the KERDI waterproofing membrane.
