Product Description:

The Profilitec Showertec Waterproof Shower Kit is an innovative system designed in Italy to provide a complete waterproof shower installation solution for residential and commercial applications. Engineered for long-lasting performance in demanding wet environments, Showertec combines advanced waterproofing technology with lightweight, tile-ready components to help create a durable, professionally finished shower.

Designed for both professional contractors and experienced DIY renovators, the Showertec system simplifies shower construction by combining compatible waterproofing components into one coordinated system. Its pre-waterproofed construction helps reduce installation steps, labor requirements, and the complexity commonly associated with traditional shower preparation methods.

At the core of the system is the Foiltec waterproofing membrane, an engineered laminated polyethylene membrane designed to provide exceptional moisture and vapor protection. With a vapor permeance rating of 0.033 perms, Foiltec provides high-performance protection suitable for demanding environments, including steam showers, wet rooms, residential bathrooms, hotels, spas, and other high-moisture spaces.

The flexible construction of the Foiltec membrane allows it to compensate for minor movement between the substrate and finished tile surface. This helps reduce stress transfer that can contribute to cracking, moisture intrusion, and deterioration of the finished tile assembly. Its combination of waterproofing performance and flexibility makes it an important component in creating a reliable tiled shower system.

The pre-sloped Showertec shower tray features high-density EPS foam engineered to provide excellent structural support while remaining lightweight and easy to handle during installation. The tray arrives pre-wrapped with Foiltec waterproofing membrane, eliminating several traditional preparation steps and helping installers complete projects more efficiently.

The high-density foam construction provides a stable foundation for ceramic, porcelain, mosaic, marble, granite, and natural stone tile. Its engineered surface is designed to support demanding tile installations while maintaining long-term performance in wet environments.

A matching Showertec shower curb provides a lightweight yet durable transition for tiled shower construction. Like the shower tray, the curb is constructed from high-density foam and protected with Foiltec waterproofing membrane. This coordinated construction helps maintain continuous moisture protection throughout the shower assembly while simplifying installation compared with traditional site-built curb methods.

The Foiltec sealing strip, also commonly referred to as waterproofing band, is designed to seal seams, butt joints, floor-to-wall transitions, and other critical connection points throughout the shower installation. Its flexible construction and folding memory allow it to conform effectively to changes in plane and complex installation areas.

Compatible inside and outside waterproofing corners further enhance protection in areas where walls, floors, and other surfaces intersect. Together, these components create a continuous waterproofing system designed to protect the underlying structure from moisture intrusion.

The complete shower floor system provides excellent design flexibility for creating a customized tiled bathroom shower with a clean, professional appearance. The tile-ready shower pan accepts a wide variety of surface materials, including ceramic tile, porcelain tile, mosaic tile, marble, granite, and natural stone, allowing the finished shower to coordinate seamlessly with surrounding bathroom flooring, wall tile, and interior décor.

Once the shower tray, waterproofing membrane, curb, sealing strips, and related waterproofing accessories are correctly installed, compatible tile can be applied directly using an appropriate thin-set mortar. This streamlined installation process helps reduce unnecessary preparation while providing a dependable foundation for the finished tile assembly.

By combining the shower base, shower curb, waterproof membrane for tile, sealing accessories, and complementary waterproofing components into one coordinated system, Showertec reduces the inconvenience of sourcing separate products that may not be designed to work together.
