wedi Building Panels offer nearly limitless installation capabilities, thanks to the wide range of
thicknesses and compatibility with virtually any substructure. Likewise, because theyre innately
lightweight, waterproof and dimensionally stable, wedi Building Panels are fast and simple to
work with, allowing for versatility in terms of applications. Whether fixed directly to existing
tile coverings (be they on load-bearing or non-load-bearing substructures) or used in providing
smooth transitions to traditional materials, finishes or details, wedi Building Panels install in just
one step, compared to the multi-step installation required with conventional cement board and
separate waterproofing product. When it comes to waterproofing, wedi Building Panels are
highly competitive compared to conventional waterproofing methods.
12 | 13
Developed for absolute workability, the wedi system is easily applied directly to stud walls with wedi
fasteners (screws and washers with tabs). After the panels are secured and the seams are sealed, tiling may
commence immediately. This means that a bare wall can be prepared, waterproofed and ready to tile in a
fraction of the time required by traditional methods.
When applied to the wall, wedi Building Panels may be fixed perpendicular or parallel to the framing,
saving time and reducing the frequency of joints. The panel can be fastened simply into place with wedi
screws or nails and all panel joints butted tightly. The wedi fastener is set right into the joint where
the washer head presses both panel edges together and allows for the flush transition. If a waterproof
installation is required, all joints and fastener points should be treated with wedi polyurethane sealant or
wedi waterproof sealing tape.
Because of its waterproof nature, the wedi Building Panel is the natural choice for use in wet
areas. wedi Building Panels can be applied directly to studs or over gypsum products to create a
waterproof substrate for tile and also can be used on tub decks and backsplashes to quickly place
tub surrounds. The material can easily be scored and shaped to provide radius surfaces on tub
skirts and does not scratch tubs or fixtures during installation.
The dimensions of the wedi Building Panels make for quick installations in standard five foot tubs.
Laid horizontally, the sheet will span the full five foot length of the tub. At the head and foot of
the tub, the panel is secured to the wall verticallywhere the three foot width provides the perfect
dimension for a tile-ready tub surround. The wedi Building Panel may be notched for the flange
of a tub to provide a plumb and even surface for tiled walls.
4
wedi polyurethane sealant or
waterproof tape is applied on the
seams and fastener points.
Alternatively, wedi sealing tape can be used instead of the wedi joint sealant and applied in modified thinset. The sealing tape provides adequate
splash water protection but should not be used where standing water occurs because thinset might allow pressing water to migrate underneath the
sealing tape through the thinset mortar.
5
In dry areas, the seams can be
treated with an alkali resistant
fiberglass mesh tape by wedi.
The Building Panel can be notched out at the bottom to install safely
and plumb against the lip of the tub. A bead of wedi joint sealant is
applied between the notch and tub lip.

Flush Transitions

wedi Building Panels provide excellent substrates for interior floors. Theyre suitable for extreme
commercial as well as residential use, as proven in the widely recognized Robinson Floor Test
(ASTM C627), in which the wedi Building Panels earned the heavy-duty commercial use rating.
When applied over a wooden substrate, wedi Building Panels act as a waterproof membrane and
create a superior bonding surface for ceramic tile. In addition, the thermally insulating qualities
make these boards superb candidates for installations incorporating floor-heating systems. The
1/4 and 1/2 materials can be used in flooring applications.
To apply wedi Building Panels over a wood subfloor, the floor must be clean and free of debris.
A modified mortar is applied to the floor with a 1/4 x 1/4 V- or U-notch trowel to provide a
ribbed bed. The wedi Building Panels are then laid into the mortar. All joints should be staggered
so that no seam continues throughout the length of the floor. After the mortar has set, fasteners
are applied at the rate of eight per square yard (sixteen per sheet). All seams should be taped with
alkali resistant fiberglass mesh tape, wedi sealing tape or wedi polyurethane sealant before tiling
begins.
Align the wedi Building Panel with your connecting drywall area using
the appropriate panel thickness.

When installed over concrete, wedi Building Panels function as a crack-isolation membrane, as
cracks are not likely to transfer through the polystyrene core of the boards. The polystyrene foam
also acts as a moisture barrier; thus, when the seams are properly treated, the system is 100%
waterproof. The wedi Building Panels are also used as thermal insulation, especially when installed
underneath electric heating and floor warming systems. Heating cables and mats are typically
embedded and encapsulated in a layer of tile adhesive mortar or self-leveling mortar. Once cured,
the installer sets tile in another combed bed of tile adhesive mortar on top. (Note: Please contact
heating system manufacturer for proper installation methods over backerboard and never install
heating and floor warming systems underneath wedi systems to avoid heat being trapped.)
Produced with less than a +/-1/32 variance of thickness, wedi Building Panels will provide a
true surface on which to adhere floor tiles. wedi underlayments have passed the Robinson Floor
Test (ASTM 627) with a heavy-duty commercial use rating. To apply wedi Building Panels over
concrete, the floor must be clean and free of debris. Modified mortar, combed through with a
5/16 notch trowel, will then provide a ribbed bed on which the wedi Building Panels will be
laid. All joints should be staggered so that no seam continues throughout the length of the floor.
After the mortar has set, alkali resistant fiberglass mesh tape, or wedi sealing tape or wedi
polyurethane sealant should be applied to all seams, then tiling can begin.
wedi Building Panels are suited for use beneath underfloor heating systems. The wedi Building
Panel insulation properties keep the heat away from the ground and guide it straight into the
room, whether you have a warm-water heating or electric system.
Tile
For warm-water systems, ducts can be cut into the wedi Building Panel
quickly and easily using a router. The water tubes are inserted and the
surfaces are covered with alkali resistant mesh tape and thinset before
tile is set. The wedi Building Panel serves as a combined form of
heat insulation and a base for installation.

Countertops
Imagine your countertops waterproofed and tile ready in just 5 minutes ...
wedi Building Panels offer a variety of different thicknesses and sizes for countertop
applications. The 2 x 8 sheets of the 1-1/2 or 2 thick panels are ideal and require
no further support in installation.
1
Apply a continuous 1/2 thick
bead of wedi joint sealant over
the spacers of your countertop.
Glue down the wedi Building Panel after you have cut it to size. Leave
it recessed behind the front of the counter so you can apply a strip of
wedi Building Panel to the exposed foam edge as shown in 4 and still
finish flush. Apply some weight equally on the surface for 15 minutes so
that the wedi sealant/adhesive can bond properly.
Apply wedi joint sealant and a strip wedi Building Panel in any
thickness. This strips cementitious coating side will allow you to better
set tile.
Apply wedi joint sealant around the cut out and insert the sink. You can
also cut recesses into the wedi Building Panel to allow for a deeper or
close to flush with the tile installation of a sink.

For more than a quarter century, wedi Building Panels have been used in exterior applications.
The regular Building Panel, when used in combination with low absorbing adhesives, grout and
tile, adds untold benefits. Now wedi introduces an advanced product line, the Balco, specially
engineered for installation with common exterior grade adhesives and grout.
When tile adhesives, grout and tiles fail under extreme climate conditions,
wedi BALCO always adds value to your facade:
1
Lay the first Balco (Balco with
slope from 3/4 to 1-1/2) onto
the concrete substrate bonding it
with exterior grade tile adhesive.
On wooden surfaces, an additional
layer of wedi 1/4 Building
Panels, fastened with wedi
fasteners (at a rate of 1 per every
sq. ft.) and exterior grade thinset.
The Balco Panels are set in exterior
grade thinset on top of this layer.
2
The next Balco panel butts
up tightly to the first layer. A
staggered joint pattern is chosen.
In all applications,the Balcos seams
receive a continuously applied 1/2
bead of wedi joint sealant spread
over the seam and pressed inside
the connection using a putty knife.
wedi Building Panels and BALCO offer superior bond strength, will not deteriorate in moist
climates and add insulation in cold climates. Installation methods depend on the planned surface
finishes, height of facade and must be compliant with local building codes. Please contact wedi
Technical Services for your best solution.

When wedi systems and Building Panels are used in steam shower applications, youre assured
superior performance for saturated water vapor exposure in warm temperature conditions. Properly
installed, wedi systems aid in eliminating the threat of water vapor transmission through walls that
can cause deterioration and mold. wedi systems will further add insulation to steam showers so
that temperature difference exposure between the warm, humid inside of showers and the cold,
low humidity outside will be kept at a minimum. Temperature differentiation causes vapor to move
towards the colder side, but wedi Building Panels, a vapor retarder, stops this shift from occurring.
Vapor pressure and exposure can take place at different levels of severity, and wedi recommendations address this issue accordingly. Beyond a few specific recommendations, the wedi steam room
system is installed in adherence to wedis methodology of waterproofing joints and fastener points.
Build a slope into the ceiling so that condensed water can run down toward walls without
dripping (hot).
Lead the steam supply copper pipe into the cabin in the lower third of the cabin wall height
so that the steam can rise (steam rises upwards). Make sure the pressurized incoming steam
does not filter into the cabin at a point where people are likely to sit.
Properly insulate the copper steam pipe so that the high temperature does not touch the
wedi Building Panel foam (wedi resists up to 175F).
Make sure that fresh air supply and exchange is given, either by automated fans or through
an open space (1) between glass door and floor tile.
Use tile or stone that is appropriate for steam room conditions (dense, low absorbancy).
*Contact a wedi representative regarding chosing the proper epoxy resin product.
62 | 63
Please consider:
The application of wedi vapor barrier in steam room applications will eliminate all installation
related risk of failures due to accidental penetrations and protrusions. The application of wedi
vapor barrier over all inside wedi building panel surfaces will give you the peace of mind that all
high investment steam shower and steam room applications are perfectly safe.
wedis liquid vapor barrier, as opposed to most conventional liquid waterproof membranes, offers
realistic and engineered protection that matches the challenges associated with steam rooms.
When comparing the wedi system to other systems, conventional backerboard with liquid
waterproofing might not be sufficient for vapor exposure in steam rooms. Ask the manufacturer
for permeability ratings of assembly and inquire about system warranties.
The wellness multicenters from wedi offer you everything that makes
a shower a real and complete well-being oasis, starting with massage
shower features and steam applications to light and aroma therapy. The
different style types of steam shower systems which we present to you
on the following pages come as a Modular System that is completely
prefabricated so that two installers can glue the elements together in one
