The Schluter Kerdi-Drain Classic Shower Grate Kit is designed for use in tile shower installations, combining a stainless steel grate with an integrated slope bonding flange. This kit includes the drain body, bonding flange, and a square grate in the selected size, allowing for seamless integration into the shower floor. The flange provides a sloped surface that directs water toward the drain, while the bonding layer ensures a secure attachment to the waterproofing membrane. The kit is available in multiple grate sizes, with a stainless steel finish that offers resistance to corrosion and wear.

The construction focuses on compatibility with tile substrates, making it suitable for both new builds and renovation projects. The drain assembly is intended to function within a standard shower configuration, supporting efficient water evacuation without compromising the waterproofing system. The materials used are selected for durability and long-term performance, with the stainless steel grate maintaining its appearance over time. This product is typically installed during the waterproofing phase, requiring careful alignment with the pre-sloped shower base.

The bonding flange incorporates a mechanical connection that simplifies the process of integrating the drain with the surrounding membrane. The kit is designed to work with the Kerdi waterproofing system, providing a cohesive solution for tile showers. The grate can be removed for cleaning, and the drain body includes a removable strainer to catch debris. The overall design emphasizes practical functionality, with a focus on maintaining a low profile within the tile surface.

The stainless steel finish is available in a variety of sizes to accommodate different shower layouts, from compact stalls to larger walk-in enclosures. The drain system is engineered to handle typical residential water flow rates, ensuring consistent drainage during use. The bonding flange helps prevent water intrusion at the drain-to-membrane interface, supporting the integrity of the entire shower assembly.

This kit is intended for use with tile installations and is not recommended for other floor materials. The product is backed by the manufacturer’s standards for quality and reliability, with components that are replaceable if needed. For users seeking a dependable drain solution for a tile shower, this kit offers a balanced combination of features and value.
