SMARTER DESIGN MEETS PEACE OF MIND
Few would argue the stopping power of a beautifully tiled shower. But a true craftsman knows that real beauty goes well beyond carefully laid tiles and into the system itself. A system built from high-performance components designed to work in harmony to prevent moisture in its tracks and to act as a solid base for a shower that will last for years to come.
The CGC DUROCK™ Shower System is a fully bonded waterproofing system for tiled shower installations, designed to control moisture independently of the tile covering, while creating a solid base for a long-lasting shower. And because it comes from a manufacturer with a reputation for delivering products and systems designed to outshine the competition, you can trust that it will deliver performance superior to other systems on the market.

CONFIDENCE BENEATH THE SURFACE
PRE-SLOPED SHOWER TRAY
With a 3-pound density, the molded expanded polystyrene (EPS) shower tray is exceptionally strong, offering greater support for the tile covering in shower applications. Designed with an optimal 2% slope, it’s also more comfortable to stand on and easily accepts a wide variety of tile shapes and sizes. Despite its strength, this lightweight shower tray easily cuts with a knife, is dust-free and comes in three sizes—a 1220mm x 1220mm (48"x48") center drain, a 810mm x 1525mm (32" x 60") center drain and a 810mm x 1525mm (32" x 60") offset drain.
BUILD WITHOUT BARRIERS
With a 25mm (1") thick perimeter, the pre-sloped shower tray allows easier construction of barrier free showers without unwanted or unnecessary buildup of the surrounding subfloor. All it takes is just a few simple adaptations to wood-framed construction. Visit durockshowersystem.com/barrier-free to see how easy it is.
SHOWER CURB
Made from the same 3-pound density molded EPS as the shower tray, the CGC DUROCK™ Shower System curb delivers outstanding strength at an aesthetically pleasing height. At only 125mm (5"), this curb allows for easier shower entry and exit, while creating a sleek upgrade to taller curbs offered by competitors.
SHOWER TRAY DISK
The CGC DUROCK™ Shower System comes with a durable ABS shower tray disk that features an integrated, removable subfloor cutout template. This disk provides solid support under the drain and features clock marks for alignment to the shower tray, the grate and your preferred tile layout.

A BENCHMARK FOR SHOWER CUSTOMIZATION
In addition to the shower system kit, optional benches and niches deliver added flexibility, enabling you to create a more customized, enjoyable shower experience.
BENCHES
Made from durable 3-pound density EPS, CGC DUROCK™ Shower System benches are completely solid and offer superior strength. And because they’re solid, they can be cut to virtually any size or shape to accommodate unique applications or jobsite conditions. These pre-sloped benches are simple to install and come in a variety of shapes and sizes, including rectangular [810mm x 510mm x 406mm (32"x20"x16")], square [406mm x 510mm x 406mm (16"x20"x16")] and triangular [406mm x 510mm x 406mm (16"x20"x16")].
NICHES
Constructed from rugged Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS) plastic, these spacious niches are not just ideal for holding shower products and accessories, they’re also lightweight and virtually indestructible. Nonwoven fleece co-molded with the ABS plastic structure on the flanges and interior surfaces provides a superior bond to thin-set mortar. Niches are available in both square and rectangular shapes, with opening sizes measuring (350mm x 350mm x 90mm [13-3/4"x13-3/4"x3-5/8")] and [350mm x 560mm x 90mm (13-3/4" x 22"x3-5/8")].

THE PROOF IS IN THE WATERPROOFING MEMBRANE
MEMBRANE
The waterproofing membrane included with the CGC DUROCK™ Shower System is part of a truly integrated and fully waterproof system. Not only stronger than many competitors’ membranes, it’s also significantly thinner. This means it is extremely tear resistant, minimizes buildup at seams, is more pliable and is easier to install. It also has an extremely low permeability rating, making it ideal for wet areas, including continuous-use steam showers.
ACCESSORIES
Utilizing the same state-of-the-art materials as the rest of the CGC DUROCK™ Shower System, several accessories are available to help you create a truly integrated and fully waterproof system. These include pipe and mixing valve seals, and pre-formed inside and outside corners.

DRAIN AND GRATE ASSEMBLIES DESIGNED TO FLOW PERFECTLY TOGETHER
DRAIN ASSEMBLY
The universal design of the CGC DUROCK™ Shower System drain assembly simplifies installation and stands out for a number of reasons:
• Accepts both 100mm (4") and 125mm (5") DUROCK™ Shower System exclusive Designer and Pro Series grates.
• Accommodates 50mm (2") and 75mm (3") ABS or PVC waste lines, allowing for solvent-weld and no-hub connections.
• Features a nonwoven fleece on both the top and the bottom of the integrated bonding flange. The fleece on top provides ample surface adhesion for the waterproofing membrane, while the fleece on the underside provides the necessary bonding surface for the mortar that supports the drain assembly. The fleece is co-molded with the ABS drain body to ensure the highest possible permanent bond.
GRATE ASSEMBLY
The CGC DUROCK™ Shower System grate assembly provides real adjustability. The grate assembly can be adjusted vertically to match tile thicknesses ranging from 3mm (1/8") to 25mm (1") thick, and it delivers up to 25% more horizontal adjustment when compared to the competition, ensuring the grate and tile layout fit correctly.

A SHOWER SYSTEM THAT LETS YOU EXPRESS YOUR STYLE
DRAIN GRATES
With multiple designs, two sizes 100 mm (4") and 125mm (5") and more than 10 finishes, the DUROCK™ Shower System offers more than 50 grate options, including both a Designer and Pro Series.
DESIGNER SERIES GRATES
From contemporary to classic, the Designer Series offers a range of stylish choices to fit your unique shower design. Plus, each grate is cut from a solid block of stainless steel or pure copper. The 5mm (3/16")-thick, stainless steel is optimized for high strength and corrosion resistance, and the reflective facets around each opening are meticulously crafted for the most discriminating high-end shower installations.
The 5mm (3/16")-thick copper Designer Series grates employ a process by which ORB patina is applied to enhance the natural beauty of the copper. Each facet around the openings uniquely reflects the variations in the copper, imparting a sculptural quality to each grate.
PRO SERIES GRATES
The Pro Series grates utilize an extremely durable, high impact-resistant, engineering-grade polycarbonate base structure wrapped in stainless steel. They are equipped with a Physical Vapor Deposition (PVD) finish that is bonded to the stainless steel at the molecular level and provides trusted durability and extraordinary scratch and wear resistance.
