KBRS READY TO TILE HARDCURB®
HARD CORE
Kick leaks and tile failure to the curb with a KBRS HardCurb®. One of the most critical components of a tile shower is the curb. If not properly constructed (and most are not), then it is guaranteed that you will have damaging leaks and tile failure. A KBRS HardCurb® is engineered to prevent these failures from occurring.
HARD FACTS
SELF-SEALING
Glass shower enclosure mounting hardware must be anchored (screwed) to both the walls and the shower curb to safely secure the glass assembly. Traditional shower curbs are not designed to receive the required anchoring hardware without causing leaks. The patented KBRS HardCurb® prevents typical leak and rotting problems associated with wood-built shower curbs, thanks to a self-sealing anchoring layer that automatically seals around the screws when penetrated and securely holds the screws in place.
INNOVATIVE CONSTRUCTION
Starting with a UL Certified geofoam core, the top is secured with a solid 1/2" PVCore™ self-sealing anchoring cap. A HardCurb® is then encapsulated in KBRS ShowerSeal® seamless waterproofing membrane and is ready to be tiled. The 4" X 4" KBRS HardCurb® is available in a 61" standard length, and can be cut to fit on site as needed. Custom sizes are available upon request when ordered with a custom Tile-Basin®.
READY TO TILE
The HardCurb® is designed for interior, exterior, residential and commercial installations. Once installed, just add your thin set and decorative tile. Suitable tile types include: vitreous, semi-vitreous or non-vitreous tiles, quarry, cement body tile, impervious porcelain, gauged or ungauged natural stone tile, pebbled tile, and there is no minimum tile size.

MANUFACTURED WITH KBRS HARD CORE TECHNOLOGY
The HardCurb® is one of our most innovative products. Its PVCore™ "cap" provides an "anchoring layer" for the mechanical anchors required when installing the mounting hardware for glass shower enclosures. It is an ideal alternative to traditional shower curbs built from wood, that are notorious for absorbing moisture.
Hardcurb® is customizable can be cut-to-fit in the field.
CUT-TO-FIT IN THE FIELD
When you need a little flexibility in your shower project, having the ability to customize your shower threshold is key! Our shower curbs come in 61" in length so that you can cut them down on site to fit around different sized KBRS ShowerSlope™ products, or even integrate into a mortar bed shower application when used with positive side waterproofing. Measure, cut, then install!
EASY INSTALLATION SHOWER CURB
FAST & WORRY FREE
Designed specifically for use with the ShowerSlope™, the HardCurb® is easily installed by cutting to your desired length and applying common modified thin-set.

* While KBRS can manufacture any shape, size, and drain location for a custom shower pan, it is recommended drain location must be minimum 8” from any side of a shower base because this can make tiling difficult during installation, and make the shower basin edge visibly steep. Exceptions can be made on a case by case basis after consulting your customer service representative.
*Please refer to your custom order form for more information about minimum drain shower pan limitations. Consider this when you order your drain, KBRS linear drain bodies are 2” larger than a linear drain grate. This linear drain body flange allows for easy waterproofing during installation.
Note: Custom bases and shower pans are manufactured to a +/- 1/8" (3.175mm) tolerance.
