Sanwell wall element
„Extremely robust, with integrated niche“
Product information
The sturdy wall element with integrated niche is ideal for use as a shower partition wall, can be installed particularly easily and can then be directly tiled. Here, both the overall size and the niche size in the wedi Sanwell wall element can be individually customised.
The Sanwell wall element with a width of 900 mm or 1200 mm incl. niche installed in the factory is perfect for use as a free-standing wall.
Because it is made from waterproof polystyrene rigid foam, it is perfect for use as a shower partition wall, for example. Laborious construction and sealing is no longer required.
