Tile Space Trade – Wedi Waterproof before lunch, tile after! Wedi is the innovative German waterproofing system that can be tiled over 30 minutes after installation. Lightweight, internally waterproof and dimensionally stable, wedi is easy and clean to cut, yet incredibly strong and bond friendly. The blue waterproof core is made from waterproof extruded polystyrene foam, reinforced with fibreglass mesh on both sides and coated with synthetic polmer resin motor
which fully embeds the mesh layer, resulting in the ability to develop the highest adhesion strength to virtually any type of thin bed motor. Plus the embedded mesh eliminates the risk of delamination of installation layers. The wedi sealant is a key part of the system, a versatile singlecomponent adhesive sealant, especially suited to waterproofing butt joints of building boards. It has outstanding resistance to water and chemicals and is also free of solvents, silicon and PCP.
When used together the wedi sealant and wedi builders board require no further waterproofing, meaning you can tile just 30 minutes after installation. German engineered and proven for over 35 years, with NZ codemark certification and a 15 year full replacement warranty, wedi is efficient and reliable. Imported and backed by Tile Space, check it out today! Find out more at https://tiles.co.nz/wedi
