** NOTE TO SPECIFIER ** Delete one of the following two paragraphs; coordinate with requirements of Division 1 section on product options and substitutions.

C. Substitutions: Not permitted.

** NOTE TO SPECIFIER ** Select one of the following waterproofing membrane as required from the following paragraphs. Delete if not required. Ceramic and stone tiles are durable, easy to maintain, and hygienic, representing ideal surface coverings in wet areas. However, since tiles and grout are not inherently waterproof, it is essential to protect the substrate (commonly moisture-sensitive) from moisture and vapor penetration. Schluter®-KERDI is a pliable, sheet-applied bonded waterproofing membrane that also protects against vapor intrusion in showers, tub surrounds, backsplashes, and wainscotings. KERDI is available in 5 inch (125 mm), 7-1/4 inch (185 mm), and 10 inch (250 mm) wide bands for seams and corners (Schluter®-KERDI-BAND).
