Case study: Schlüter-Systems ensures Petersham Hotel luxury

Situated in Richmond, Surrey and overlooking the River Thames, the Petersham Hotel’s Tower suite has been refurbished to ensure that visitors enjoy the very best bathroom experience – tile and stone protection expert Schlüter-Systems was on hand to provide a level entry system solution…

A popular destination for weddings and other grand events, The Petersham Hotel is renowned for its second-to-none hospitality and luxurious guest experience. A main aim of the bathroom project was to ensure the use of a full system from a single manufacturer for warranty guarantees and the creation of a seamless and simple solution. This is where Schlüter’s expertise came in as the company designed and installed a full waterproofing system and underfloor heating throughout the bathroom floor.

The walls were prepared with the popular tile backerboard Schlüter-KERDI-BOARD. Using this substrate alongside sealing products Schlüter-KERDI-KERECK and Schlüter-KERDI-COLL made easy work of creating a tanked waterproofing system. Electric underfloor heating system Schlüter-DITRA-HEAT was installed throughout the floor. In the shower area, the U-shaped profile Schlüter-DECO-SG aided in the sleek addition of a glass shower screen without penetrating the waterproofing components. This meant that style and substance were both achieved effortlessly.

Matching this shelf with linear drain grate Schlüter-KERDI-LINE in the CURVE design means there is a feeling of uniformity within the fixtures. These two elements also pair perfectly with the textured dark grey tiles to allow for subtlety and style.
