How to install wedi Sanoasa Benches 1-3

wedi Sanoasa Benches 1-3 offer design solutions for smaller shower spaces and can be installed into newly built showers or as

retrofits. They fit right in with wedi Shower Systems and may work in conventional shower systems as well. The benches come in

two parts, the top/seat and bench support. You’ll find wedi Joint Sealant already included in the box and there are additionally

optional accessories in the kit to allow for any sort of special situations you may run into in a project. There are three models

that are available. The difference between models are the front finish and bench top which are: quarter round, square or slanted

finish options. Each model can be installed with its top sections front smoothly aligned with the bench supports front, or have it

overhanging the bench support.

5. Start tiling immediately once sealant and thin set tile

adhesive is dry to the touch.

Optionally, you may consider installing the wedi Fundo Discreto

wall drain into your bench construction and over a wedi Fundo

Riolito

linear drain in the shower base.

1. Cut the bench support and seat to length using a knife, handsaw or circular saw.

2. Dry fit the bench. On the bench locations that have direct and full contact with the wall and (sloped) floor, you’ll want to apply

joint sealant in a continuous 1/2 inch thick bead. Ensure the bead is applied in a zig zag fashion to ensure good distribution

of sealant for great contact and adhesion everywhere. In locations where there is no full contact surface available due to the

slope in the floor, use thin-set mortar instead of wedi Joint Sealant and backfill such gaps if no greater than ¼ inch . If a gap is

greater than ½ inch (cut the bench supports to match the shape of the floor. Ensure that structure is kept tight in position until

sealant or thin-set mortar have initially set. Ensure the wall/floor substrate is appropriate for the wedi joint sealant or thin-set

mortar to work ( e.g. use primer when installing over existing tile surfaces when retrofitting a bench)

3. The bench support and top are connected with continuous 1/2 in. beads of wedi Joint Sealant. Firmly press parts together and

against the sealant or thin-set adhesive as described in step 2. The seat is pre-pitched by wedi so water can run off towards the

drain later. The Sanoasa kit comes with 1/4 in. wedi Building Panel, which you can use to close off an open side of the bench.

Install these panels with wedi Joint Sealant. Cut the panels with a knife to adjust their shape to that of the bench.

4. Apply 1/2 in. beads of wedi Joint Sealant continuously over every seam and transition area. Use a putty knife to smooth the

sealant so it covers 1 inch of the wedi product on either side of a seam or transition. However, thinset mortar filled seams are

not sealed over but require a wedi mesh tape placed over the seam when tiling commences.
