BATHROOMS & KITCHENS: PRODUCT SPOTLIGHT MAKING A SPLASH Voted by TTS readers as the first-place winner of this year’s TTS Awards, bathroom
solutions specialist wedi explains more about its product portfolio relied upon by many professionals across Europe.
1ST
For over 37 years, wedi has built a reputation across Europe as a leading manufacturer of modular building solutions for wet areas.
100% waterproof, thermally insulating and directly tileable, wedi elements are developed with practicality, versatility and functionality in mind to suit different substructures. Thanks to its close collaboration with industry professionals for nearly four decades, the wedi brand is well known for its high-quality, reliable product solutions that are easy and straightforward to fit, offering fast installation and unbeatable durability.
The base of the wedi system is its core material, the wedi building board, which has just been announced as the first-place winner of the Tomorrow’s Tile & Stone Awards 2021, chosen by readers as the most game-changing product of the last 12 months. ‘Off-the-shelf’, ready-to-tile elements – from simple building boards and level-access Fundo shower trays through to design elements such as niches, benches, full partition walls with integrated storage or wash basins and loungers - thanks to their modular nature and versatility, are designed to create customised solutions to suit any space and taste. The watertight nature and thermal insulation properties of wedi elements are further enhanced by system accessories filling the ‘gaps’, such as sealing of joints, transitions and intersections or soundproofing against water impact noise, for example.

Nonstep range and the well-known wedi 610 to mention only a few, the strength of the brand is in the detail.
With wedi products being the first of their kind, the misconception has been made that they can be difficult. Once you get to know the brand, you’ll appreciate the quality of its products and what you can achieve with them. What could be easier than choosing between only two methods when waterproofing joints? Use the wedi 610 adhesive sealant (cartridge provides 8-10 linear metres) with a self-adhesive wedi tools reinforcement tape for all joints, apart from transition joints such as wedi-to- non wedi connections in exposed areas. On transition joints with close proximity to the shower enclosure- for example, within 300mm on walls and 600mm on floors- all you need is the wedi Fundo Sealing set (bucket coverage roughly 10 linear metres) to create a watertight seal against a variety of materials.
Declaring the utmost quality of its products and commitment to its clientele, far beyond a standard manufacturer’s warranty, wedi also offers a ‘voluntary’ 10- year product quality guarantee on its entire product range.
High-quality installations depend not only on great products but also on knowledge and experience using them. As with all other great products, wedi products also are required to be fitted according to guidelines. In order to deliver the systemised sealing solution the brand is renowned for, wedi offers online training sessions and its technical support team is only ever a phone call away.
