Wedi Building Panel System

The wedi building panel is much more than other backerboards.
 
With the combination of extreme light weight and the ability to cut with only a utility knife, Wedi panels save time for installation.
 
Working with the wedi building panel always results in cost-effective and highly
productive installations.
 
The wedi building panel combines lightweight, waterproof, and insulating benefits all in one backerboard. The end result is an ideal substrate for tile, thin brick or plaster coatings.

Easy to Install:    
Beginning with the initial wood or metal framing studs,
cut the wedi building panels to size.
   
   Fasten the wedi building panels to framing using galvanized screws. Be sure to use the wedi washers as well.  
 After fastening the wedi building panels be sure to cover all exposed foam edges and joints with waterproof sealing tape and multi-purpose thinset mortar. You are now ready to set tile!

 Note:  Due to the Size of the building panels, we are unable to ship Wedi panels via UPS. They need to be shipped on a pallet. There is also a minimum order of 10 panels. A quote for shipping via LTL will be provided once we receive your order.

Technical Data
wedi building panel
 
The blue core of the wedi building panel is made from "Styrofoam"* extruded polystyrene. Both sides of the rigid foam are reinforced with glass fibre fabric and coated with synthetic resin modified mortar.

This makes the wedi building panel ideal for all tile installations. It can be fastened to any substrate. The wedi building panel is waterproof and heat-insulating and also serves as a steam barrier. Because it is lightweight and stable, it can be put to many uses.
 
Technical properties of the extruded polystyrene (mean values):
 
Shear Strength, ASTM C-273 34 psi (235 kPa)
Flexural Strength, ASTM C-203 is 212 psi (1460 kPa)
Tensile Strength, ASTM D-1623 33 psi (225 kPa)
Compressive Strength, ASTM D-1621 36 psi (250 kPa)
Linear Coefficient of Thermal Expansion 3.5x10-5in/in°F (6.3x10-5in/in°C)
Thermal Conductivity, 75°F (25°C), ASTM C-518 0.23 Btu · in/hr ·ft2 ·F
R-Value 75°F (25°C), ASTM C-518 4.3 hr ·ft2·F/Btu/in
