wedi Building Board

„Cut, shape, glue.“

wedi Building Boards have a blue core made from CFC- and HBCD free extruded polystyrene rigid foam. This makes wedi building boards an ideal base for any type of thinset adhered tile or stone. wedi building boards can be applied to practically any loadbearing substrate, are waterproof throughout, insulating, versatile in its use in field customised applications, light and extremely robust and strong. While often used within the range of wedi shower systems it is also a formidable tile backer board for use on walls, floors, countertops and many more applications.
Available in a wide variety of thicknesses and sizes, wedi building boards are compatible with virtually any stable substructure.
