Wedi Waterproof Shower System
Waterproofing the WEDI System
Once the pan, panels, and WEDI fasteners are installed, all seams are sealed and wall fasteners are coated with sealant.
Conclusion
With bathroom remodels, clients often focus on color, layout, and fixtures. While those are all important considerations, many times they’re missing the all-important conversation about waterproofing.
The Wedi shower system does everything we want it to do as a product and eliminates other the cost and hassle involved in traditional shower installations. This means we can get more done in less time – projects can be completed faster, which equate to more jobs and earning potential for contractors. Since it is fully waterproof, it also reduces callbacks and the risks of something going wrong.
The end result is a bathroom both client and contractor can be proud of.
