Measure and cut the bench
pieces off a wedi 2” (50.8 mm)
thick wedi Building Panel and
dry fit. When installing a corner
seat, the panel edges are mi-
tered for a tight fit. To achieve
a slope, the part’s upper ends
are cut down with a slight
angle towards the front of the
bench. Optionally, create a
pitch using wedi Joint Sealant
as a “wet shim”. The wedi
parts are adhered to the wall
using thinset mortar or wedi
Joint Sealant. Adjoining parts
are glued together using wedi Joint Sealant continuously applied along
all foam edges of a panel part. Excess is spread flat over the seams using a
putty knife. Where the part’s backs meet the wedi wall, modified thinset
mortar is used in a full contact surface bed. Once the bench is built, a
final bead of wedi Joint Sealant is applied to safely seal all seams to the
wedi wall. The vertical front part of the bench will show a small gap to
the pitched floor. Fill with thinset mortar and alkali resistant fiberglass
mesh tape by wedi, applied over this seam. Alternatively, benches and
seats are offered as prefabricated units made by wedi. For longer or
larger benches built from our 2” (50.8 mm) building panel, always install
one spacer/support made of wedi 2” (50.8 mm) Building Panel every 18”
(457 mm) in either direction. Over blue exposed foam edges, adhere a
wedi Building Panel strip to foam using wedi Joint Sealant. This will create
a cement based surface to adhere tile to it. Optionally, the blue foam
may be covered with wedi Joint Sealant. The covering of the blue foam
areas is not necessary, where
tile is used that will overlap
and cover the blue area with
no more than 50 % of its
size. Such larger tile is thinset
adhered to seat including the
foam surface.
The maximum weight allow-
ance on seats or benches built
with vertical supports placed
every 18” (457 mm) o.c. is 500
lbs (227 kg).
