wedi Vapor 85
wedi Vapor 85 is a tile backer board specically made for use in steam showers/rooms. Its design is based on the wedi Building
Panel, featuring added vaporproong capability that works for all water vapor exposure levels, including continuous use and
commercial steam rooms. Once installed directly to the wall or ceiling framing studs, it is ready for tiling. When needed, it cuts easily
and cleanly using a utility knife. The wedi Vapor 85 panels are installed using wedi sealant 620, which is continuously applied in
between panels. All panel seams and wedi fastener points are then treated with wedi sealing tape or fastener patches and sealant
620 to ensure water and vapor-tight performance for the entire steam room.
wedi Building Panel – Shower Walls/Wet Areas and Floors
wedi Building Panels can be applied to shower walls and wet areas horizontally or vertically. This allows more exibility with your
wedi panel installation. The panels are fastened quickly and easily in place using wedi screws & washers. The wedi Building Panel
combines a tile backer board and waterproong into one step — providing a safe system installation. Once the panels are secured
and seams/fasteners sealed with wedi Joint Sealant, tiling can begin immediately as soon as the sealant dries to the touch. This saves
considerable time and money compared to traditional methods. Its solid waterproof core eliminates concerns like pinholes/voids as
well as delamination typically associated with alternative waterproong products. The wedi Building Panel has been successfully tested
under ANSI 118.10 (test standard for load-bearing, bonded, waterproof membranes) as well as ASTM C578 (Standard Specication
for Rigid, Cellular Polystyrene Insulation).
Building Panel systems
wedi Building Panels are made using the latest manufacturing technology and highest material quality. They are waterproof,
lightweight, easy and clean to cut, are incredibly strong, and they bond well for use with any thin-set mortar application. The
wedi Building Panel can be tiled with ceramic, glass, or stone in all sizes, from mosaic to large format tiles. Large and thin tiles
especially benet from the durability, and the exact and even surface wedi Building Panels provide.
wedi Building Panels are proudly produced in the USA.
