Waterproof Shower Systems including point and linear drain models offer reliable, cost-
efficient solutions for constructing 100 % waterproof and mold proof showers. The product systems
are entirely waterproof due to it’s XPS extruded polystyrene foam core. These systems are easy and
clean to install due to it’s high prefabrication level. They open up a whole new world of design pos-
sibilities for showers, wet areas and baths when customized to fit your jobsite requirements.
wedi Shower Systems blend the traditional values of design flexibility and robustness as previously
only enjoyed with mortar bed installations, while offering added values that come with state-of-
the-art material and manufacturing technologies. These added values come in form of many perform-
ance advantages. Especially over traditional mortar bed installations or over other currently known
methods for building showers such as those using sheet – or liquid waterproofing membranes in an
attempt to manage water exposure. The most unique advantage is the complete and natural core
waterproofness of the wedi product and it’s entire assembly. Every detail of the assembly is part of
the wedi waterproofing approach: even down to the factory integrated drain parts. The concept of
the wedi Fundo Shower System’s water management describes a true “water out“ performance.

commonly found in other methods of shower installation. When installing wedi Fundo Shower
Systems in combination with wedi building panels, the proprietary wedi joint sealant and any of
our curbs, niches or seats accessories, you can eliminate the following worries altogether:
