Founded in Germany in 1966 by master tile setter Werner Schlüter, Schluter- Systems has grown from a specialist tile installation business into one of the world’ s most recognized manufacturers of tile and stone installation systems. The company’ s breakthrough came in 1975 with the launch of SCHIENE, a metal edge-protection profile developed to prevent exposed tile edges from chipping while delivering a cleaner architectural finish. That innovation laid the foundation for a business now spanning more than 40 product lines and thousands of SKUs, including waterproofing membranes, uncoupling systems, drainage solutions and underfloor heating technologies used across residential, commercial and hospitality projects worldwide.
