Waterproof Shower Systems

January 04, 2024

Are you looking for a durable, waterproof and easy-to-install shower system for your bathroom renovation? If so, you might want to consider a waterproof building, a high-quality and innovative solution that offers many benefits over traditional methods. Here are some reasons why you should choose the Wedi system for your tiled shower installation:

- is made of rigid foam panels that are waterproof, lightweight and thermally insulating. They can be cut and shaped to fit any design and layout, and they come with preformed niches, benches and curbs for added convenience.
- is easy to install, saving you time and money. You don't need to apply any waterproofing membrane, cement board or mortar. You simply glue the panels together with the Wedi sealant and fasten them to the wall and floor with screws and washers. Then you can apply your tiles directly on the panels with thinset mortar.
- is reliable and long-lasting, preventing any leaks, mold or cracks that might occur with other methods. The Wedi sealant creates a watertight bond between the panels, and the foam core absorbs any stress or movement from the tiles. The Wedi system also comes with a 10-year warranty, giving you peace of mind.

You might be wondering what are the alternatives to this system and how they compare. Well, the most common methods for tiled shower installation are:

- Using cement board as a substrate for the tiles, which requires applying a waterproofing membrane on top of it to prevent water penetration. This method is time-consuming, messy and prone to failure if the membrane is not applied correctly or gets damaged over time.
- Using a prefabricated acrylic or fiberglass shower base and wall surround, which are easy to install but limit your design options and can look cheap and outdated. This method also does not provide any thermal insulation or soundproofing for your shower.

As you can see, neither of these methods can match the quality, performance and versatility of a waterproof system. That's why we recommend it to all our customers who want a tiled shower installation that meets their needs and expectations.
