wedi Fundo Ligno
Homeowners and builders increasingly favor shower spaces which can function without a curb or would not require any build up over existing floor
areas resulting in a step up into the shower. One important reason for this trend is: easier and safer access to the shower for older and/ or physically
disabled persons. While this trend offers great design and business opportunities it also presents technical challenges which cannot be overcome by many
conventional shower installation methods or products. Main challenges are safe recessing of a sloped shower base into an existing structural floor for a
flush transition and the extension of waterproofing from shower area into surrounding floor areas no longer protected by a curb keeping water inside
the shower area. To address all challenges for tile professionals, wedi engineered Fundo Ligno, a sloped shower base ¾ inches thin at its perimeter and
available in various sizes. Ligno can be field modified. The installation within a ¾” plywood structure requires no cutting into joists. Loadbearing plywood
is simply re-installed between floor joists and over 2 × 6 blocking then attached to the joists. This guarantees a full support and protection of the tiled
surface. The wedi typical strong cement based, reinforced surface is pre-sloped, directly tileable with large or small format tile. Ligno interlocks with
wedi Building Panel used as waterproof backer board on walls as well as on the surrounding floor. Optionally, wedi‘s Subliner Dry Sheet Waterproofing
membrane can be used. Both options offer a complete and professional system installation. wedi Fundo Ligno is designed to provide for a low profile
base thickness of only 3/4”. This allows for a fast and flush installation into a subfloor assembly without cutting into floor joists. The system is designed
to work without a curb. Enjoy the ease of installation without creating a structural hazard because you maintain the structural subfloor panels installed
between floor joists under the wedi Fundo Ligno. Because barrier free showers may be exposed to heavy point loads (e.g. wheel chair), you can confi-
dently rely on the structural strength of the wedi base and subfloor as well as the wedi Fundo's traditional strong cement based surface for ideal tile bond
using any suitable cement based tile adhesives or grouts. As applied to all wedi Fundo Shower Systems, wedi Fundo Ligno is designed to interlock and
work with wedi Building Panels, wedi Joint Sealant, wedi Fasteners, wedi Seats and Benches, wedi Niches and many more accessories, that truly com-
plete your shower installation and waterproofing system. The installation is fast, modular but customizable, and covered by wedi's full system warranty.
