An installer of high-end bathrooms and wetrooms for homeowners and leisure sector clients, who was also involved in fitting out the display areas within the recently opened extension to Schlüter-Systems‘ premises in Coalville, Leicestershire, has reported a growing number of applications for the German based manufacturer’s impressive range of high-performance tiling products. 

Company lead Antony Marson enjoyed a long, successful solo career including projects with PADL companies, prior to the establishment of PADL Bespoke Bathrooms in the Midlands in 2022. The specialist installer won the Behind The Tiles Best Bathroom Project in 2023 and was a finalist for The Tile Association’s Tile Fixer of the Year Award in 2024. The company has grown to cover the whole of the UK by offering high standards of workmanship at realistic prices.

Within the scope of its operations, PADL makes regular use of Schlüter-Systems’ KERDI-BOARD as well as the waterproofing membrane and the KERDI-BOARD-W washbasin, along with correspondingly large quantities of the DITRA HEAT underfloor heating systems and the company’s rugged as well as elegant tile trims.  

Antony Marson comments: “Prevention is better than cure and the benefits of the Schlüter product range is primarily the prevention of damage resulting from the substrates to the installed tiles, including cracking. If the grout lines were to fail, the Schlüter products will prevent the water being absorbed into the wall or floor underneath. This benefits the installer and the customer: with less time spent diagnosing and fixing problems for the installer and less stress and time for the client. The initial outlay on the cost of the product is justified by the losses saved with failed installations.

“As an installer of Schlüter, you are made to feel part of the family, while the Schlüter team share the same passion and enthusiasm for the application of their products in your installations as you do. The team at Schlüter go above and beyond to ensure the company’s customers are equipped with the correct knowledge, whether that’s inviting you to a training course or spending time talking through technical aspects on the phone. It’s always a pleasure to have a visit from your local Schlüter rep.

“From the smallest domestic project to large scale commercial refurbishment, walking away from a finished job with complete confidence in the products that provides the foundations to your work allows for an installer to sleep peacefully at night. And from talking with our customers, we also know they share a confidence in the products, and that they are buying into durability when they choose to purchase Schlüter materials to support their installations.”
