Making the tedious easy
When faced with handling backer board and waterproofing a shower installation, this is an amazing time saving product. I would imagine that if you were paying a contractor, the savings on their time would more than pay for the cost. It is pricey, but worth it. combining this with the other Schluter products makes the whole project painless. It is now possible to start with a framed shower stall with plywood floor and be laying tile the same day.

Kerri board is the way to go!
A little pricey but beats concrete board on several levels. Easier to handle, carry, load, unload, cut, and install. No messy, dust filled saw blades required cutting concrete. Just a razor knife. No hernias lifting Hardi backer. You can cut it right at the job instead of outside, making fine adjustments so much easier. With this stuff, I didn’t feel a twinge of guilt asking my wife to fetch it out of the truck! (I’m not sponsored by anyone.)

Kerdi-Board
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Very easy to handle, and it fit in the back seat of my car! Easy to cut straight lines (especially with the grid lines) and holes for shower, etc. Have the panels up, ready to install tiles around the tub surround. Would be 5 stars if it was not so expensive, but I did not want to use cement backer board as I have in the past.
I will use it again when we build a new bathroom in our addition.

Excellent
Much better than cement backer board at creating a true moisture barrier for showers. Traditional backer board requires 2-coats (read the fine print) of membrane to achieve manufacture rating. So while you do have to seal the fasteners with Kerdi board, it’s still a labor savings over applying the membrane coating.

Great product
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Wall panels are very easy to work with- lightweight, cuts easily with utility knife or power saw, attachment is a breeze with Kerdi washers and screws. Only complaint is that Lowe’s only sells these in multiples of 12.

Kerdiboard
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Kerdiboard is an excellent product for waterproofing a bathroom or kitchen. It's lightweight and easy to cut to size yet completely waterproof. I just wish Lowe's sold more than on size.

Great product
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Very easy to use & install - system maybe the best for DYI shower water proofing - it does have a lot of steps but results will be a leak proof shower - the broad goes up quick and easy

Great Alternative to concrete board
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This stuff is pretty expensive, but makes for a much easier job of preparing a wall for tile. I had to make a choice of this versus cutting concrete board outside in -9 degree weather. I chose this. Easy to put up and all you need is a utility knife to cut it to size.
