wedi innovations have grown into an extensive product portfolio over the past 4 decades. Known for its premium quality precision-engineered waterproofing solutions, the visionary manufacturer offers secure product systems with the necessary certifications to comply with sustainable building.
Born out of necessity, Net zero has become a vital aim of the construction sector in recent years. Endorsing this shift wedi, as an EcoProfit operation for over 7 years, has been working tirelessly to support its clients in the responsible use of energy and environmental resources while inspiring creative, and at the same time, functional bathroom design. Recently celebrating its 40th anniversary, the brand places great emphasis on its identity.
EXPERIENCE: what began with a tileable XPS bath cladding in 1983, has developed into wealth of experience – that is unique to the XPS industry.
SYSTEM: right from the outset, product development was focused on interlocking product solutions that stand the test of time – this is known today as the wedi system.
VISION: envisioning extraordinary, remarkable product solutions and developing them with practicality, versatility and functionality in mind – for advanced design of wet areas.
WHAT IF…
At the beginning, every wedi solution was a ‘mental game’. The success of the brand lies in its daring approach, in the mentality of its people and ultimately, in its superior-quality versatile system solutions.
Barrier-free/accessible construction – floor level Fundo Shower Systems enable multigenerational use without any adaptation being required.
Assured longevity and protection – 100% waterproof reliable showers and bathrooms with high-quality seamless, recyclable surfaces eliminate the need for frequent, resource-intensive renovations.
Enhanced thermal insulation – wedi XPS elements contribute to the thermal insulation of the building from the inside, improving heating systems’ response time by up to a staggering 70%!
Versatile, 2in1 waterproofing and construction – a functional, tailored individual design achieved with ‘off-the-shelf’ 100% waterproof XPS elements.
Inevitably as sustainable requirements within the construction sector rise, waterproofing of wet areas is also facing stricter regulation. Rising issues and failures across bathroom, wet room and shower installations with water ingress and leaks, prompted NHBC to issue the technical guidance 9.2/06 in the area of substrates for tiling with special attention to tanking systems used beneath tiles.
Providing unrivalled peace of mind for everyone involved, wedi has an array of products to meet this new guidance. As part of the ARDEX family, the manufacturer can offer not only 100% waterproof and loadbearing (133kg/m2) tilebacker boards with all required certifications (CE, UKNI, UKCA) but also, compatible adhesives and grouts for direct tiling without the need of additional waterproofing – saving time, cost and labour whilst also cutting back on risks associated with additional installation steps.
