PADL Bathrooms, an installer of high-end bathrooms and wetrooms for homeowners and leisure sector clients, was involved in fitting the display areas within the recently opened extension to Schlüter-Systems‘ premises in Coalville, Leicestershire. The company has since reported a growing number of applications for the German-based manufacturer’s impressive range of high-performance tiling products.
PADL’s company lead, Antony Marson, enjoyed a long, successful solo career, including projects with PADL companies, before opening PADL Bespoke Bathrooms in the Midlands in 2022. The company has grown to cover the whole of the UK by offering high standards of workmanship at realistic prices. The specialist installer won the Behind The Tiles Best Bathroom Project in 2023 and was a finalist for The Tile Association’s ‘Excellence in Tiling’ Awards 2024.
Within the scope of its operations, PADL regularly uses Schlüter-Systems’ KERDI-BOARD, waterproofing membrane, and KERDI-BOARD-W washbasin, along with correspondingly large quantities of the DITRA HEAT underfloor heating systems and the company’s rugged and elegant tile trims.
Marson commented: “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 as part of 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 providing 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.”
