wedi has been operating with success for nearly 20 years in the United Kingdom. However, in the past few years many competitors have appeared on the UK market – prompting customers to rightfully ask the question:
Why choose wedi when there are numerous other waterproof and tileable solutions to choose from?
Unlike the other brands, wedi has been tried and tested by industry professionals for the past 34 years. The company was founded in Germany in 1983, when Helmut Wedi – a master tiler – set himself a goal to develop high-quality but above all practical solutions for tradesmen which provide real added value in their day-to-day work. His goal became the philosophy of his company and made his family name into a worldwide-known brand. Today, wedi operates in 36 countries worldwide, including the United States, which despite having one of the most diverse markets in the world, has just given a home to wedi’s newest manufacturing plant to be able to cope with the demand.
The system safety that wedi guarantees as well as the straightforward and time-saving installation takes centre stage, while the feedback received from their customers provide the basis for further developments of wedi’s products, systems and services.
The core of wedi’s building board – which forms the basis of all of their tileable elements - is a high-density extruded polystyrene foam that is 100% waterproof to the core and extremely robust while at the same time it is also lightweight. Its cement coated surface forms an incredibly strong and stable base for adhesive thanks to the integrated fibre mesh fabric, making it an ideal basis for any type of plaster and tile.
What sets wedi aside from other tileable solutions on the market is that its products also provide fantastic insulation, therefore save on energy costs and provide long-term protection against mould and fungus. What’s more, due to their A+ labelling – according to German and European regulations and laws – they are also non-hazardous and low-emission products.
Whatever the project - renovation or new build, wooden or concrete construction, wetroom, bathroom or wellness you will find a variety of suitable elements in wedi’s extensive product range. The key to the success of the wedi brand is that their products are well thought out and well made: 100 % secure - signed, sealed and guaranteed by wedi.
wedi BUILDING BOARDS can be applied to practically any substrate and are also suitable for use as an added insulation underneath underfloor heating. They are available in a wide range of formats:
- standard building boards - 600mm wide panels are available in many thicknesses ranging from 4mm to 100mm.
- XL building boards - 900mm wide panels - simplifies installation by reducing joint transitions.
- XXL building boards - 1200mm wide panels - free standing and stable, ideal for use as a partition wall.
- Construct boards are shapeable and flexible boards to create curved forms.
- Vapor boards are vapour proof boards for constantly humid areas such as steam rooms.
wedi FLOOR LEVEL SHOWERS (Fundo range) are not only tileable and 100% waterproof but also unique in their thermal properties which provide added insulation, hence resulting in warmer tiles under foot. What’s more, all elements have a factory-integrated pre-defined even slopes, are load-bearing and wheelchair accessible.
- Point drainage: available with 3 different drain locations (central, corner or end) the Fundo Ligno especially designed for wooden floors and the standard Fundo Primo available in a wide range of sizes.
- Linear drainage: the Fundo Riofino featuring 300mm central channel and the Fundo Riolito neo with close to wall channels in various lengths (300-1100mm) also available in a vast number of standard sizes, both with wedi’s brand new channel drain technology, featuring 360º pipe direction!
- Integrated drainage: available in a wide range of sizes, the Fundo Plano & Fundo Integro with a classic ’point’ design and the Fundo Plano Linea with a sophisticated linear design.
The wedi Fundo design concept also combines creative lines with natural forms offering ’designer showers’ with point drainage such as the Fundo Trollo (round shape) or the Fundo Nautilo (shell shape) with optional wall elements with or without the supply channels, enabling free-standing showers even in the middle of the room!
wedi DESIGN ELEMENTS offer design and functionality at the same time to help give the bathroom that special touch. These products range from new shower seatings - Sanoasa Benches 1-4 and Sanoasa Corner seats - and wedi Niches (4 different sizes), to the well-known Mensolo range offering L and U shapes perfect for pipe cladding or as tileable shelving.
A new innovation from wedi is the new wedi Fundo Top - a ready-to-fit cover perfectly adapted to the slopes and dimensions of their most popular ranges: Fundo Primo, Fundo Plano and Fundo Riolito neo. A contemporary, seamless elegant alternative to traditional tiling, it is made from a 6mm thick mineral material and available in 4 different (full-body) colours: white, beige, grey and anthracite.
wedi’s standard product range also spans into WELLNESS PRODUCTS which can be used - of course - in shower or bathroom areas as well. The Moltoromo modular wall system gives the freedom to create versatile, free-standing wall configurations, such as curved and angled solutions or sinuous lines to add that design led effect to any area, while the Sanbath bathroom furniture range with its elegant shapes continue complementing the wedi Sanoasa Bellina & Comoda modular benches and the versatile wedi Loungers which are available with or without integrated heating.
All wedi elements are designed to interlock and work with all other wedi system components and a long list of accessories, that truly complete the installation and waterproofing system.
The wedi product systems have their own BBA certification showing that they satisfy the construction guidelines and regulations for the United Kingdom and are also tested and approved as sealing systems for wetrooms, thus awarded with a CE mark.
wedi is proud of its outstanding TECHNICAL SUPPORT SERVICES, offering customised building solutions for wellness projects as well as a bespoke service to create elements based on individual specifications such as special shower elements, footbaths, fountains, steam cabins or whirlpools to mention only a few.
Further technical information, image galleries and product specifications are available through the wedi website or via the BPi Download Library.
Fundo Ligno Plus
"A walk-in shower on timber floors with a seamless design surface’.“
Product information
The new Fundo Ligno Plus shower element, with its outer edge thickness of just 23 mm was especially developed for use in timber floor installations in combination with an existing Fundo Top design surface. It sits and fits flush with the existing wooden substrate without the need for laborious levelling measures. Due to the integrated slope, the outer edge thickness falls significantly and so, a support plate is fitted underneath reinforcing the drain area, providing peace of mind about the ever-moving, moisture sensitive wooden floor.
In combination with the seamless, non-slip and antibacterial Fundo Top design surface it provides complete protection against damp, mould and fungi at both substrate and surface level.
Reinforced drain area
Predefined 4-sided gradient
100% waterproof to the core
Simple and straightforward installation
wedi Design Surfaces Now Also in a Stunning Marble Look
Timeless elegance and sustainability: the bathroom and wet room specialist wedi launched brand new colour options for its seamless Top Line. Ready-to-install wedi Top design surfaces are now also available in a modern marble look. Thanks to the beautiful marble pattern, they create an elegant atmosphere in the bathroom. What's more, they are fitted in no time: these large-format surfaces can be installed in just a few simple steps. What's more, they also comply with sustainable building due to their natural material composition.
There are 4 new finishes available for designing personal wellness oases. "marble white", "marble grey-beige", "marble grey-brown" and "marble black". Another advantage of the new design surfaces is their low weight and thickness of only 4 mm – a clear advantage over large-format tiles.
Marble look is available for the Top Wall and the Fundo Top
The new designs are available for main parts of the Top Line, says Vera Ulisch, product manager at wedi: "For the Top Wall, our seamless cladding for walls and other vertical surfaces, and for the Fundo Top, a seamless shower floor surface matched to our flush-to-floor Fundo Primo, Fundo Ligno Plus and Fundo Riolito Neo shower elements." Seamless design surfaces combined with matching wedi Fundo shower elements form a perfectly coordinated and technically sophisticated system.
New format with a manageable width
The height of the Top Wall in marble look is also new. "It comes with a height of 2600 mm. This format will also be available for our Flake and homogeneous Pure White surfaces in 2024," says Ulisch. In addition, Top Wall in the new marble look is available in a 'handy' width of 600 mm as well as in classic widths of 900 mm and 1,200 mm.
For a visually consistent design in the shower area, Fundo Top design surfaces are also available in marble look including matching frameless drain covers.
Other benefits of design surfaces in the new marble look include:
The 4 mm thick mineral core is coated with heavy-duty foil, and as a result, the surfaces are resistant to water, UV and chemicals.
They are non-slip and seamless.
Thanks to the antibacterial surface they are also easy to maintain.
Installation is quick and easy
Like all wedi Top Line products, the new design surfaces in marble look are also quick and easy to process. The system approach and sophisticated technology make the installation especially straightforward.
The surfaces are glued to respective wedi system components using wedi 610 adhesive and sealant. There is no need for laborious drilling and screwing.
The frameless drain covers included with Fundo Top surfaces in a marble look can be used directly with the Fundo shower elements.
substrate such as wedi building board, tiles, plaster or plasterboard.
