If you’re building a home or ready to upgrade your existing home with tile countertops, flooring or showers, WEDI is the way to go. WEDI is an underlay product that can protect your home better than traditional solutions, and it doesn’t detract from your remodeling vision. Corvus Construction is a certified WEDI installer and can utilize it to customize and protect your home for greater peace of mind.
You’ll no doubt spend hours choosing the tile for your remodel, but typically you don’t think much about what goes behind the tiles. After all, it will be invisible after install is complete. But just because you can’t see it, doesn’t mean it’s not worth considering. When you invest in a tile upgrade for your kitchen, bath, or other area in your home, you want to know it will last. WEDI is one of the most durable products available.
Why Use WEDI Products?
Beyond durability, WEDI is 100% waterproof – this goes well beyond water resistance – this is a huge differentiator. Standard tile underlays are water resistant, but over time can break down and lead to seepage that can necessitate repair or replacement. Wherever there’s moisture, there can be mold – but with 100% waterproof WEDI products, this won’t ever be an issue.
Perfect for walls, floors, showers and countertops – anywhere there’s water near your tile – WEDI can protect your materials. Steam showers and steam rooms are perfect for WEDI because in addition to being waterproof, they retard vapor. It’s so robust that you can even use it in 100% wet environments like swimming pools and hot tubs. And with a WEDI certified installer like Corvus Construction, you can rest assured that you’ll get the look you want and the waterproofing you need.
Benefits of WEDI Waterproof Products
Here are some of the pluses of using WEDI products for your next tile project:
- WEDI wall boards and shower pans can be installed so your shower floor is flush with the bathroom floor for a seamless bathroom design – this is a great look that can’t be properly achieved with other products.
- With WEDI products, you can install benches, seats and shelves in showers, saunas and steam rooms without adding additional framework. This allows you to fully customize your space without adding substantial cost.
- WEDI is rated for heavy duty traffic use as a floor substrate, so even your busiest areas – kitchen, foyers, bathrooms that get foot traffic all day – will be protected with this durable material which can prevent your tile from cracking from overuse.
Is WEDI a Cost Effective Alternative to Traditional Materials?
Even though WEDI products cost more than traditional products, using them can still be cost effective because it will save you money in other ways including:
- You don’t have to apply it over drywall – this can save you some money on materials and installation. WEDI wall boards can go straight onto the studs.
- You save money on installation because the product is lightweight, easy to cut onsite with a utility knife and it goes up more rapidly because it’s easier to handle.
- You can reuse WEDI if you decide to change out your tile later. Corvus can remove the existing tile from your WEDI wall, floor, or counter and install new tile right on top of the existing WEDI boards. This can save you lots of money on future facelifts and renovation projects.
- You save money on labor costs when you use WEDI shower pans because they can be installed in just 30 minutes compared to eight hours with traditional materials.
- You save on future repairs because WEDI is completely waterproof – you are less likely to have mold problems – even in rooms with very high moisture levels.
- You save wear and tear on your home because WEDI board weighs 75% less than competing products – it won’t stress your load bearing walls and joists.
