What happens here

Install Schluter Kerdi-Board panels on the shower walls to create a waterproof and tile-ready surface. Use specialized Schluter fasteners and screws to secure the boards to the studs. Ensure all panels are cut to fit precisely and create necessary cutouts for the shower valve and any niches. Apply thin-set mortar to all seams and fastener points, then embed Schluter Kerdi-Band waterproofing strips over the seams and corners, creating a continuous waterproof envelope. Install a pre-fabricated niche within the wall studs, adhering it with thin-set mortar and covering its seams with Kerdi-Band.

Goal: Install waterproof backer board and a pre-fabricated niche in the shower area.
