Ceramic, Stone and Glass Coverings
Ceramic coverings offer various possibilities for wall and floor design.
Depending on the intended use and personal taste, there is a wide
variety of tile in different shapes, colors and materials. Here, the wedi
Building Panel is the perfect carrier element for ceramic coverings
as the tile can be installed directly to the board surface without any
additional steps needed. There are no limitations concerning setting
adhesives or grouts. All types of ceramic, porcelain, stone or glass can
be used with wedi Building Panels. The surface is even and consistent,
which works perfectly for mosaic as well as large format or thin body
tile.
Mosaic accent strips
wedi’s 1/8” (3.2 mm) Building Panel can be used to perfectly install
mosaic accent strips into a large format wall tile assembly. This helps
avoiding excessive mortar build-up and leveling when trying to evenly
align the field tile with the much thinner mosaic tile strip. The strips
of wedi Building Panel could even be pre-tiled in the shop and simply
adhered into the wall assembly on site, using thinset mortar applied to
the back of the strip only.
Wall paints
The unique wedi Building Panel is also suitable for paint application.
However, a sufficient layer of plaster or stucco must be applied to cov-
er-up the mesh grid structure providing a smooth surface on the wedi
Building Panel, upon which paint can be applied. Whether in living
areas or in the bedroom – the design options are abundant and the
room will always be pleasantly insulated. Before applying gypsum/
plaster based joint compounds over seams or corner beads, the wedi
Building Panel must be primed to allow gypsum based material to safely
adhere.
Plasters and fillers
Today, plasters and stucco are not only used for the creation of a plane
surface for tiling, painting or wallpapering, but they also represent a
visual design element. This is another instance where the wedi Building
Panel is the perfect substructure.
Important information:
Contact your wedi Technical Support Sales Manager for advice on areas
with shock loads. Plasters containing gypsum require priming of the
wedi Building Panel.
