SIA Standard 271/1: Made-to-measure solutions for shower enclosures

Since May 2025, SIA Standard 271/1 has introduced new requirements for waterproofing shower enclosures. With Koralle, you’re ready: fast, safe, and fully compliant installations—without unnecessary extra work on site.
The standard focuses especially on penetrations and fixings. In practice, this means greater planning reliability: shower screens may now only be installed using tested, penetration-tight mounting solutions, or by using systems that avoid penetrating the waterproofing layer altogether.
Important: this change is not due to defects in shower screens. Koralle systems have proven themselves in real-world use. Even so, Koralle is proactively aligning with the new requirements to provide maximum compliance and clear confidence in both specification and installation.
Your Koralle options:
Tested, penetration-tight wall plugs for systems that require wall screw-fixing. Fully penetration-free adhesive installation for many shower screens—reliable, secure, and suitable for a wide range of substrates, without compromising the waterproofing (GT adhesive system).
Key benefits:
- Meets SIA 271/1 with no extra hassle
- Reduced risk exposure around waterproofing penetrations
- Quick, efficient installation with prepared systems
- Drill-free option with innovative adhesive bonding
