It's designed for the DIYer or installer who wants to skip the guesswork of buying components separately and just get the right stuff in the right quantities.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eKERDI-BOARD is Schluter's lightweight, waterproof building panel. It replaces cement board, drywall, and plywood as a tile substrate in wet areas — and because it's waterproof to the core, you don't need a separate membrane behind it.
