A shower is a waterproofing system with tile on top.
Schluter Systems shower waterproofing across Georgia — installed as a complete, continuous assembly, not a patchwork.
Tile and grout are not waterproof.
Water passes through grout joints. What stops it reaching your framing is the membrane behind the tile — and how carefully its seams, corners and drain connections were made.
Four layers, in order.
Substrate
Framing and board checked for plumb, plane and fastening before anything is bonded to it.
Bonded membrane
Waterproof membrane bonded across walls, curb and pan as one continuous plane.
Seams & penetrations
Bands at every seam, preformed corners, and sealed collars at valves and the drain.
Tile assembly
Tile set over a system that's already watertight — the tile is the finish, not the barrier.
What's underneath decides how long the beauty lasts.
Drag the slider to see the same shower before tile and after.
- Waterproofed niches and benches, not just walls
- Sloped pans with integrated, bonded drains
- Preformed corners instead of folded patches
- Curb and threshold wrapped continuously
Luxury bathrooms that stay that way.
Correct waterproofing means no soft spots behind the tile, no musty smell and no demolition three years from now to fix a leak nobody saw coming.
It also unlocks the good stuff: curbless entries, lit niches, benches and large-format walls that need a reliable substrate to sit on.
