Innovation Workshop Part 2

This is a 2-day hands-on workshop

Once you have completed Part 1, you’re ready for Part 2!

In this advanced workshop, you’ll take the theory and product knowledge you learned in Part 1 and put it into practice. You’ll spend most of your time in our hands-on area collaborating with your peers.

Get ready to build one of our advanced bathroom modules:

  • A curbless shower with KERDI-LINE
  • KERDI-BOARD pony walls, suspended bench, and niche
  • Tiled floors with DITRA-XL and DITRA-HEAT
  •  Custom tub decks, countertops, vanities, and sink basins
  • Select profiles, secondary drains with adapter rings, and prefabricated benches

The goal of this workshop is to bring your product knowledge up to the next level by using a variety of Schluter® products in some common, yet challenging installations. See how our products integrate to create bathrooms, built to last a lifetime.
