There isn't one that I'm aware of. The kit's contents are depicted in the image below.
There are two 48" x 6" x 4-foot tables available. In the box, there are 1/2" prefabricated curbs.
Yes, it's very simple to trim to the desired size. I'd suggest laying it out, labeling, marking, and cutting the drain in the proper location.
A side/long drain option is available from Schluter. Although I am not sure about the shower kit, it is listed in their catalog on their website.

I strongly advise you to do some research online and watch the Kerdi installation videos before purchasing this product. The product is not for the faint of heart or those with no construction experience; however, if you know how to build a closet while keeping everything plumb and level, as well as how to hang drywall while keeping everything plumb and level, you should find this system to be fairly simple to use. During my installation, I would do the following things again: br>br>Things I would do differently: br>Plan it the same waybr>Use a level to ensure my walls and floor are levelbr>Use the Kerdi drainbr>If your shower area isn't the exact size of the Kerdi floor, cut it symmetrically to fit, e. g. If your shower is 62" by 72", you'll need 5 inches on each side to make sure it drains properly. Things I would not repeat: br>br> br>If you're working with a general contractor, resist the urge to use cement board for your walls; it's unnecessary and difficult to work with: Despite the fact that my shower is beautiful and completely waterproof, I would never use cement board. Kerdi doesn't recommend it, and I don't either. br>Make sure your walls are perfectly plumb; any bulge or dip in the underlying substrate will need to be filled in with thin set after Kerdi installation, which can cause some interesting issues when installing tile over Kerdi. This is not insurmountable, but it can be avoided. br>Make sure you read and understand the instructions on the Kerdi drain; if you don't have access to the plumbing beneath the floor, you shouldn't cut off the drain pipe until you have exact measurements with a leveled floor, as we didn't. If you do, you'll have to do some unusual things to keep the Kerdi drain from becoming too high or too low. br>br>In conclusion, this system works well as long as you plan ahead of time and follow all of the instructions precisely. If I had to do it all over again, I'd go with Kerdi board. Kerdi board was not readily available when we were in the middle of our rebuild.
For a first-time user like me, this was an excellent kit. Install your own shower. After learning how everything works, I'd probably get a cheaper membrane and go a different route next time, but I'm glad I did it the first time because the shipping was fast and they were very responsive when one of the packages arrived later. I got a quote from a local tile shop for the same kit for $50 more tax, so I'm pleased with my purchase overall. First and foremost, ensure that your subfloor is level. Do some research on thinset as well. I used a product called laticrete.
I no longer build showers without these kits. Because the corners and edges do get a little built up, you'll need to figure out how to make up the difference with your mud. Aside from that, it's practically foolproof. Watch a few YouTube videos, make sure your mud is thin enough and the right mud (not the $7 stuff from the local hardware store; there isn't enough concrete in that mix and it won't bond), and you'll have a waterproof shower before the tile is even installed.
After reading the instructions and watching a YouTube video, almost anyone can install this product. When pressing the waterproof membrane into the mortor, a metal 5' putty knife is preferable to plastic or a grout float.
This was installed in our newly constructed master shower in the hopes of never having to deal with leaks again. It was simple to put in place. So far, everything has gone well!.
Our new shower was a big hit. It's simple to use.
Even though I had the installer, it was simple to install with the DVD.
My contractor is only using these kits to remodel my bathroom. More than $200 was saved. by placing an order on Amazon.
