Holmes on homes highly recommends the product and uses it all the time. It's touted as the best.

I've used the Kerdi membrane for tile shower walls, it works quite well.  You have to be careful of what kind of thin-set mortar you use to install it, I forget if you use modified or unmodified (I installed it three years ago) but if you use the wrong kind it takes a month for the mortar to dry.  I wouldn't install a shower without it.  They also have a neat shower floor pan kit, drain kits, etc.  Mind you, I wouldn't put a tile shower in a bus due to weight, but that's just me.

I am going to have to re-build my shower soon and I love the Kerdi membrane.  Seems a little thick at 8mil. 

Would it make sense to use a lightweight tile to install over this membrane as opposed to ceramic tiles?

I am searching for possibly fiberglass, plexiglass, plastic type tiles.  Any other ideas opposed to buying the 4x8 sheets of FRP from home depot?

I was thinking maybe clear or frosted plexiglass panels pressed into a tinted/colored thinset against the Kerdi membrane.  Might look neat to have the colored thinset under the plexiglass. 

Any other creative ideas for this?

thanks.
