Review on 🚿 Enhance Your Bathroom with the Schluter Kerdi-Drain Grate Kit, 4" Brushed Nickel by Jose Perry

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Anodized aluminum doesn't stand up to the strain

Installation, fit and finish after installation was great. However, I strongly recommend that you consider carefully whether you choose between a brushed nickel finish (i.e. anodized aluminum) or a stainless steel Schluter option. This is because the anodized coating is easily damaged by alkali. If you read the fine print, you can't even wet the solution on an anodized grille/frame without damaging its finish. Lots of mild enzyme cleaners that won't damage other equipment will likely damage this grill (like mine did). Too bad I wouldn't just use a stainless steel grate so I don't have to do a chemical research project every time I use a cleaner.

Pros
  • Handsfree
Cons
  • Poor repairability
