Can Redgard be used over Schluter Kerdi as added protection on a shower floor? I have used the Schluter shower system but I am thinking the added protection would be cheap insurance.

                  What Customers Say
                  Summarized by generative AI from text of customer reviews

                  Customers say RedGard is an effective waterproofing and crack prevention membrane that is easy to apply with a brush or roller. Many appreciate its quick drying time and the color change from pink to red, which indicates when it is ready for the next coat. While some users find it a bit pricey, they believe the investment is worthwhile for the peace of mind it provides against water damage. The strong odor during application is a common point of concern, emphasizing the need for good ventilation.

                  Strange RedGard
                  Used it my shower on concrete board. Everything was fine, but then I checked how it was stacked with wall. It was similar with insulation tape. So disappointed. Never again...

                    Follow directions
                    Simple directions and easy to apply onto surface. Highly recommend application by following direction on container. I applied 3 coats to be extra certain of no leaks. 10 years after. Still no issues. Changes color to alert when product is dry. Works great.

                      Amazing product. Easy to use. Used it behind the tile in our bathroom wall around the tub and it has never leaked

                      product delivered damaged
                      Busted in the box and leaked out. Almost impossible to get ahold of someonenonline for a refund. This is dissappointing.

                        Great product comes from the floor and tile world which I used on my deck to seal up cracks before I put it finishing porch and floor paint on top of it.

                        I remodeled my bathroom and used Redgard for water proofing... The product went on smooth and two coats were more than enough to completely waterproof the showerstall area.

                        Great product
                        Very simple to use and the instructions don’t leave you questioning how to do any of it. We used it on our backer board for a 36x36 shower around 8 foot tall and had about a quarter of the bucket left after two coats. We just used paint brushes and rollers. It cleaned off the brushes just fine. Don’t be afraid to glob it on; it’s more like pudding than paint. Great product.

                          redgard liquid membrane waterproofing - install properly!
                          redgard liquid membrane waterproofing... READ THE MANUFACTURE INSTALL PROCESS!! on wet areas (showers etc) the first coat should be a watered down 3 parts water to 1 part redgard, installed and allowed to dry, then add THIN coats, not thick wet coats, do so in multiple recoats AFTER each coat has dried completely. the range is 20mils to max 40mils thick (that is NOT milliliters... it is MILS). This stuff sticks to most anything and creates a flexible seamless membrane that is waterproof if installed as per directions. even tested it on a cardboard box interior... 4 coats; then 2 inches of water... after 4 days no leakage! It works when done properly!!
