The wedi Fundo
®
Riolito
®
Shower System offers full warranty coverage like all wedi Fundo
®
Shower Systems, thanks to its
consistent and inherently waterproof core, and it’s range of specially engineered components. A Fundo shower 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 t custom designs while prefabrication reduces installation time signicantly.
The base features a strong and pre-sloped surface, allowing for tiling immediately whether you choose mosaic or large format
tile. The wedi Fundo
®
Riolito
®
is designed with a 4-way slope which allows the base to maintain a level perimeter thickness
despite its off-center drain location. This makes it safe and easy to install Riolito
®
and Riolito
®
Modular bases in curbless shower
designs and into a sufciently recessed oor structure. Riolito
®
bases can also be installed with a curb while Riolito
®
Modular
is commonly installed with a curb but can be placed in curbless designs where a recessed oor is available and accommodates
the increased depth due to the one sided build up of the shower base thickness due to the one-directional slope. Pre-sloped
extension panels are available so that no limit exists for creating any size or shape for custom shower designs. Fundo showers
are insulating, creating a thermal barrier that can prevent cold from transferring through the tiled surface, and make oor
heating systems more efcient. They also have 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 waterproong
membranes which can be very thin and vulnerable, or they may offer water absorption into thin-set bonded seam areas.
The wedi Fundo

Modular is designed with two elements: a line module with integrated drain, and a sloped extension
panel to provide the shower base. The single and one-directional slope allows for drain positioning close to a wall and is ideal
for the use of large format tile without the need for miter cuts. The wedi Fundo Riolito and Riolito Modular come equipped
with a wedi drain unit “Fundo Click and Seal
™
“, 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 inch 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
 wedi Fundo Click and Seal
™
mechanism for simple and safe assembly.
 wedi Fundo Click and Seal
™
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 inch to 1 1/4 inch in height.
 wedi Fundo Click and Seal
™
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 12 gallons/minute when used with our tileable drain cover
Linear drain shower systems
Everything for the shower area with stylish linear drainage; optionally with the drainage channel close to the wall, at a distance
from the wall, or centrally positioned. In addition to the shower element, wedi offers its factory integrated and waterproofed
drain, and a wide variety of channel covers (standard, exclusive, or tileable).

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. The wedi Fundo shower system adds to your productivity and enables you to provide
real value to your customers: Our wedi Fundo
®
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
Riolito 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

Riolito
®
Modular. All this under one warranty for the entire shower from floor to wall.
