At 6 feet square, this is a genuinely spa-grade shower footprint, and the waterproofing system behind it needs to be built to match. The KERDI-SHOWER-KIT 72\" × 72\" gives you every component for a sealed, warranty-backed, professional-quality shower assembly — sized for a build that's going to impress.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe pre-sloped EPS foam tray replaces a traditional mortar bed, cutting days off the schedule. Set it, seal it, tile it the same day.

The KERDI system handles this: the sealed, bonded membrane accommodates limited crack-bridging, and the pre-sloped tray's EPS foam has inherent flexibility. The Schluter Shower System warranty covers you for 10 years, which matters more on a high-end build than a basic one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor a 72\" × 72\" shower, pay extra attention to:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrain positioning\u003c\/strong\u003e — The center drain needs to align with your rough-in.
