   There are installation videos on youtube.  I believe you want a minimum 2" overlap set with thinset.  I have known several people that have used the system and said they will never go back to a PVC membrane.  I believe you can also buy the kerdi membrane in larger sizes.

   I'll look for some more videos. I can only get 33" from the one
   local supplier- Home despot.

   I believe it is all 39"(1 meter) wide.

   Buy a Kerdi drain, with it comes a DVD for installation that shows the how 2's.

   I was skeptical of the system at first- after doing 9 of them now I don't think I'll ever go back... to many advantages.

   The rolls of Kerdi I buy are 1 meter wide....about 39-1/2" wide...not 33".

   Is HD selling short rolls?

   It's not a problem at all having a seam on the pan. You want to overlap it by 2", and you don't want the seam to fall on the flange of the drain.

   Although it's not a Kerdi Tray, I have a few pictures of Kerdi going over a preslope of deck mud on a thread in the Photo Gallery folder.

   Here's a link to the thread:

   The preslope gets Kerdied starting on Post #23.

   Go to johnbridge.com, buy ($10) "The Kerdi Shower Book".

   As mongo said.

   Also, call schulter and find some other sources, there must be at least a few or buy over the internet. I've seen the stuff at HD and they are quite a bit higher than other sources would be. I bought from these guys last year and everything was good. http://www.tileprotection.com/

   Thanks for the help.
   I just read through Mongos thread and it answered
   my questions nicely. I want to take a moment and say good job Mongo, your
   thread is clear and concise. I've been through many
   of the instructional videos and what not, none of
   them left me with a full understanding like yours. I just needed to know for sure about a seam in
   the pan, can't blame me for being nervous about it. Yes HD only sells 33" wide rolls. At least that's
   what the VERY knowledgeable salesperson told me. After
   I told him they sell it, and found it in his catalogue
   for him.

   It might be a typo or a mis-read on his part.

   1-meter wide Kerdi is about 39-1/2", or about 3'3". The 3'3" might have been turned into 33" by mistake.

   Glad the tutorial helped.
