6 Ways VaporTec Outperforms Other Shower Systems

At Gundlach Tools, we’ve been supporting professional installers since 1927. We know what works on the job and what sells off the shelf. That’s why we’re proud to now offer the VaporTec System™. It gives you a reliable, high-performance option that goes beyond the typical residential systems many distributors carry.

Here’s what makes VaporTec different and why it belongs in your lineup:

1. Residential and Commercial-Grade

VaporTec is built for homes as well as hotels, gyms, multifamily housing, and steam showers where moisture is constant.

2. Fully Tested

Some systems rely on minimum standards, but VaporTec publishes verified data for vapor rating, tile bond, load strength, and fire safety. No assumptions, just facts.

3. Easy to Install

Some systems require primers or extra steps during the installation process. VaporTec components install fast, with no adhesives needed for plumbing connections, are lightweight, and cut easily, reducing callbacks.

4. Complete Package

No need to mix brands or fill gaps. VaporTec includes all key components, designed to work together: building panels, vapor panels, membranes, drains, curbs, and niches.

5. Fire-Safe Certified

Many systems stop at the basics, but VaporTec is tested for real-world safety. It passes both ASTM E84 and NFPA 286 fire tests, making it a solid choice for commercial builds with strict code requirements.

6. Clear Differentiator

The market is crowded. VaporTec gives you a quality, budget-friendly system to offer, and a real reason to start new conversations with your customers.

A Shower System Your Customers Can Count On

VaporTec is a system we stand behind, and one we believe gives our distribution partners a real edge. With proven performance and full system support, it’s built to meet the needs of today’s installers.
