Overview & General Product Description of the wedi Fundo

Shower Systems
The wedi Fundo
®
Primo Shower System offers full warranty coverage like all wedi Shower Systems, thanks to its consistent and inherently waterproof core, and it’s range
of specially engineered components. Fundo Primo is internally waterproof due to its wedi XPS foam‘s closed cell structure, and naturally protects against mold or mildew
like every wedi XPS foam based product. It is fast and clean to cut and fit custom designs while prefabrication reduces installation time significantly. The base features a
strong and pre-sloped surface, allowing for tiling immediately whether you choose mosaic or large format tiles. The wedi Fundo Primo is primarily made to work in shower
designs including a wedi curb. Pre-sloped extension panels are available so that no limit exists for creating any size or shape for custom shower designs. Fundo Primo is
insulating, creating a thermal barrier that can prevent cold from transferring through the tiled surface. It also has outstanding moisture and water exposure control compared
to traditional mortar bed installations or other currently known methods for building showers, including the use of sheet or liquid waterproofing membranes which can be
very thin and vulnerable, or they may offer water absorption into thin-set bonded seam areas. The wedi Fundo
®
Primo comes equipped with a wedi drain unit designed for
safe performance and to ensure a perfect tiling experience. Key features of wedi’s Fundo Click and Seal™ drain are:
A safe compression fit seal to the entire range of 2 in. floor waste pipes whether made of PVC, ABS, or Cast Iron.
All drain parts function in a mechanical, simple and controlled process – with no glues or sealants needed

drain allows for a connection to a floor waste pipe that is easily cut flush with the floor, and it can connect safely even where the
floor waste pipe is slightly angled (up to 5 Degrees). Please always test the seal of a drain to waste pipe connection by plugging up the drain and filling with
water until it reaches the cement surface of the wedi shower base.
wedi drain covers can be adjusted during tiling to meet all tile designs perfectly: 3/16 inch laterally in either direction, or from 1/4 in. to 1 1/4 in. in height.

features built in surface drainage slits to promote faster secondary draining of water from thinset layer below tile finish, which
allows the shower floor to dry much faster.
Provided that the waste pipe and plumbing is open, wedi Fundo Primo drain and drain cover flow rates exceed 14 gallons/minute or 10 gallons/minute when
used with our tileable drain cover
These added values and perfection in details eliminate the technical concerns in shower installations. But this is not where wedi shower systems stop offering added value.

Shower Systems reduce the
installation time for just the shower floor from a 2 3 day process (includes drying times) to only 30 minutes when compared to traditional methods built with pre slope,
vinyl liner and final mortar bed. wedi helps you to turn showers into service quicker, cleaner, and safer. Especially for our contractors, Fundo Primo helps to get to setting
tile faster and on a
much more consistent and tile friendly surface. Customers will appreciate the “no noise and no dirt and dust” installation. The wedi products do not contain
harmful ingredients
providing peace of mind to contractors and end users. The exact and consistently shaped slope fields support perfection in tile setting and design. The
cement based resin surface coatings on our products provide a great bond surface for any tile, stone and many other materials. All good quality tile adhesives
recommended for use in wet area applications, and made of cement or epoxy based, work great on wedi Fundo
®
Primo. All this under one warranty for the entire
shower from floor to wall.
