The simple nature of the system helps prep tiled showers faster than possible with other methods because it includes relatively few parts and pieces, and is easier to understand and assemble. This helps to create a more consistent installation that reduces the likelihood of error, and is fully backed by a manufacturers’ warranty.
WEDI offers a product system consisting of shower floor elements with integrated drainage, tile backer/wall panels, curb and seat structures, wall niches, sealants, and many more accessories. The products can be combined to create a complete installation kit, and may be installed over framed or solid substructures. The product systems combine all that is needed for wet room floors and walls before tiling: solid backing, safe waterproofing, and a great surface to tile over. While the products work as a complete modular system, they are highly customizable, clean, and fast to install.
