LATICRETE Expands HYDRO BAN® System with Solutions to Fast-Track Shower Installation

New Peel & Stick Sheet Membrane Accessories and Modular Shower Pans Deliver Economical Options for Installation Flexibility  

October 28, 2025, Bethany, Conn. – LATICRETE, a manufacturer of globally proven construction solutions for the building industry, announces expansions to its HYDRO BAN® Shower System. New peel-and-stick sheet membrane accessories, modular shower pans, and preformed curbs make their debut. The new products are specifically designed to deliver streamlined waterproofing installation options for tile professionals and contractors.  

Professional-Grade Peel & Stick Waterproofing Accessories 

Seven new HYDRO BAN Peel & Stick Sheet Membrane Accessories are now available, delivering industry-first innovation for mess-free wet area installations. Each features a non-organic adhesive to circumvent the mold and mildew concerns that can arise with organic chemistries in wet areas. The expansion includes sealing tape in three sizes, preformed inside and outside corners, a pipe collar, and nail circle patches. Whether sealing around pipes, corners, or wall seams, the new accessories eliminate the need for additional adhesives or mortars for membrane installation.

 “These accessories are designed to make waterproofing as intuitive as possible,” said Dustin Prevete, senior group product manager at LATICRETE. “Both experienced tile setters and those new to waterproofing will find a fast and reliable application delivered through a simple installation method: just peel, stick, and seal.”

The peel-and-stick format ensures consistent adhesion and flexibility that minimizes user error. When used in conjunction with other vapor resistant waterproofing solutions, they are an ideal choice for steam rooms, steam showers, bathrooms, and other high-humidity environments.

Modular, Pre-Waterproofed Pans for Efficient Shower Installations

The new HYDRO BAN Modular Pre-Sloped Shower Pan and HYDRO BAN Preformed Curb are compatible products engineered to significantly reduce shower installation time and complexity. The pans, available in seven common sizes with both center and off-center train options, feature a pre-applied waterproof coating and ship in a flat-packed, multi-piece format for flexible jobsite handling and field customization. They offer a more economical solution than the one-piece pan, allowing for additional design possibilities and less shipping and storage hassle. The new flat-edge curb is available in 24”, 48”, and 72” lengths for enhanced compatibility and installation versatility.

“These are the only pre-waterproofed, modular, multi-piece shower pans available on the market today,” added Prevete. “They meet the growing demand for prefabricated shower pans that are easier to install, store, and ship, all while providing compatibility and warranty.”

The new modular pans and compatible flat-edge curbs offer a simplified alternative to custom pre-sloped units, offering an easier dry fit, and allowing contractors to adjust sizing on-site using built-in grid lines. These new products are fully compatible with the HYDRO BAN Shower System, allowing for cohesive, code-compliant installations.

System-Driven Simplicity, Proven Performance

The launch of both products represents the latest innovations from LATICRETE, the most trusted name in the industry. They echo the brand’s ongoing commitment to purpose-driven innovation, offering trusted waterproofing solutions that adapt to the needs of today’s jobsite. The HYDRO BAN line expansion in particular lets users select the premier solutions for a complete shower installation that align with their specific installation preferences.

All components comply with ANSI A118.10 standards and are fully compatible with the HYDRO BAN Shower System. When used together, these high-performance products also maintain the industry-leading LATICRETE system warranty, all while saving time and reducing labor.
