Wedi Substrate

The ultimate sub-surface substrate
“wedi” building board is a surface carrier and adhesive substrate for applying stone, tile, laminate and other materials onto. Highly customisable, lightweight, durable and waterproof wedi allows design dreams come true.
Wedi building boards have a blue core made from CFC-free extruded polystyrene rigid foam. The rigid foam is reinforced with glass fibre (with alkali-resistant finish) on both sides and coated with a polymer-modified cement. This makes the wedi building board an ideal base substrate for any type of laminate, plaster, tile or stone surface. Wedi building boards can be applied to practically any substrate, are waterproof, insulating, versatile, light and robust.
