Building or remodeling a shower is a big project. You want it to look beautiful, last for a long time, and stay free from leaks and water damage. At Southwest Floor Center Carpet One, we understand how important it is to get your shower right. That’s why we proudly recommend and install Schluter Shower Systems for homeowners throughout Tyler, TX, and our neighboring communities like Whitehouse, Bullard, and Flint. It’s more than just a shower; it’s a complete, waterproofed system designed for a lifetime of worry-free use.
We believe in providing solutions that combine beauty, durability, and peace of mind. A Schluter system gives you a strong foundation for your dream shower, protecting your home from water damage while offering incredible design flexibility. Let’s explore why this system is the trusted choice for so many homes in East Texas.
A Schluter shower isn't just one single product. It’s a family of components that work together to create a fully sealed and protected environment for your shower. Think of it like building a ship in a bottle—every piece is designed to fit together perfectly to keep the water exactly where it belongs. This integrated approach prevents the most common problems found in traditional shower construction, like mold growth and leaks.
The core of the system is its advanced waterproofing technology. Unlike old-fashioned methods that rely on thick, heavy layers of material under the tile, Schluter uses a lightweight, modern approach that is both more effective and easier to install. From the shower base to the walls and right up to the drain, every part is designed to be part of a single, watertight unit.
The star of the show is the Schluter-KERDI waterproofing membrane. This special sheet material is the key to a leak-proof shower. Imagine it as a super-strong, flexible shield that goes on the walls and floor of your shower before the tile is installed.
Here’s what makes KERDI so special:
A properly installed KERDI membrane is the secret to a shower that stands the test of time, and it’s what allows Schluter to offer an incredible lifetime warranty.
One of the biggest benefits of choosing a Schluter Shower System is the confidence that comes with it. When a complete system is installed by a certified professional, Schluter stands behind its waterproofing components with a lifetime warranty. This is a promise that your shower will not leak or cause water damage for as long as you own your home.
Here in Tyler, our team at Southwest Floor Center Carpet One has installers who are specially trained and certified in Schluter system installation. They know the exact requirements to ensure your shower qualifies for the lifetime warranty. This expertise is something we are incredibly proud to offer our customers. You can relax knowing your investment is protected by both our skilled craftsmanship and Schluter’s unbeatable guarantee.
While keeping water contained is the main job, Schluter systems also offer everything you need to create a stunning, modern, and functional shower. The system is designed to be completely customizable, allowing you to bring your unique vision to life.
You can personalize your shower with a wide range of components:
A traditional shower build can be a long and messy process. A Schluter system installation is much faster and more efficient. For a standard shower, our certified installers can typically complete the entire waterproofing process in just two days.
Once the waterproofing is complete and has passed inspection, we can begin installing your chosen tile directly over the membrane. This streamlined process means less disruption to your daily life, so you can start enjoying your beautiful new shower sooner.
Whether you’re building a new home near Lake Palestine or renovating a classic house in the Azalea District, a Schluter system is a smart choice. Its compatibility with all types of tile—including ceramic, porcelain, marble, and other natural stones—means you never have to compromise on style.
Best of all, once your Schluter shower is installed, it requires no special maintenance. The waterproofing system is sealed away behind the tile, doing its job silently and effectively for decades. You can simply clean your tile and grout as you normally would, without worrying about what’s happening underneath.
