Here's what we like about KERDIBOARDs, they're

light
can be cut with a utility knife
don't create dust
thermally insulating
and fast to install

Plus it's not messy, that's always icing on the cake.

Start the installation by measuring your main wall.

Cut the KERDIBOARD to size with a utility knife.

Btw, KERDIBOARDs come in different thicknesses and dimensions. In our example we used 48" x 64' x 1/2" boards.

You need to attach the boards to studs using Schluter's washers and screws.

There are specific requirements for screw spacing, we cover this in the video and our written tutorial over on Home Repair Tutor.

For all the details watch the video, we think you'll love the stepbystep instructions
