Wedi
Wedi is a 100% waterproof, mould proof system for use in internal wet areas. The Wedi system offers endless design opportunities allowing you to create your own unique space, whilst maintaining structural integrity and providing a revolutionary saving on time. The system allows you to go from framework to tile in just a few hours, the fastest installation process on the market.
The building panels themselves are lightweight, easy to cut, clean and install, are internally waterproof, compatible with any substructure and boast enough strength to hold all types of tiles.
Each panel is made from waterproof extruded polystyrene foam, which is reinforced with fibreglass mesh on both sides and coated with synthetic polymer resin mortar. This process produces the panel’s robustness and its ability to develop the highest adhesion strength to any type of Thinbed Mortar. Also eliminating the risk of delamination.
Wedi products are supported with a comprehensive 10 year full replacement warranty.

Thermal insulation values of the Building Board
| Nominal Thickness | R-Value | U-Value W/m2 x K |
|---|---|---|
| 4 | 0.68 | 1.47 |
| 6 | 1.03 | 0.97 |
| 10 | 1.72 | 0.58 |
| 20 | 3.44 | 0.29 |
| 50 | 8.6 | 0.12 |
1) When determining the U-value, only wedi building board and heat transmission resistance 1/ai and 1/aa for external walls are taken into account. In specific applications, the existing masonry and other layers must also be included.
