Schluter® KERDI-KERS Pre-Formed Corner
KERDI-KERS is a pre-formed, ready-to-install corner piece for creating waterproof inside corners in KERDI shower installations. Instead of cutting and folding KERDI-BAND into a 90° corner (which takes practice and often leaves wrinkles), you press this pre-shaped piece into wet thin-set and the corner is sealed — perfectly formed, no wrinkles, no gaps.
Inside corners are the most common point of waterproofing failure in showers. Water pools there, movement stress concentrates there, and hand-folded band is hardest to get right there. KERDI-KERS solves that by giving you a factory-formed piece that fits exactly.
Where to use it
- Wall-to-wall inside corners: Where two shower walls meet at 90°
- Wall-to-floor corners: Where the shower wall meets the floor/pan
- Wall-to-ceiling corners: In steam shower enclosures
- Curb-to-wall joints: Where the shower curb meets the wall
KERDI-KERS vs. KERDI-KERECK — what's the difference?
- KERDI-KERS: Smaller, simpler pre-formed corner — quick and universal
- KERDI-KERECK: Larger, flat-flanged corner piece — more coverage area, available in inside and outside corner versions, and in bench corner configurations
- Both create waterproof corners. KERDI-KERS is faster for simple corners. KERDI-KERECK provides more overlap for critical waterproofing areas.
Installation
- Apply thin-set mortar to the corner area
- Press KERDI-KERS into the wet mortar, embedding the flanges fully
- Smooth out any air pockets with a margin trowel or float
- Overlap adjacent KERDI membrane or KERDI-BAND strips by at least 2"
- Tile directly over the cured assembly
