How to install suspended wedi Shower Seats M and L

Below you can see the installation of wedi‘s prefabricated triangle seats. They are designed to withstand a weight of up to 350 lbs

centered on the seat.

How to install a field fabricated suspended shower seat

Triangles made from wedi 2 inch Building Panel may be used to construct and install

tile ready, suspended corner seats. The wedi Building Panels may be single sheets

or doubled up to 4 inches or more by adhering to several triangle cut wedi 2 inch

Building Panels using full contact application a minimum 1/4 inch × 1/4 inch square

troweled bed of modified thin-set mortar or wedi Joint Sealant equally applied to

the surface in 1/2 inch thick beads. The triangle seats are then sealed and adhered

against wedi wall Building Panels using wedi Joint Sealant applied in 1/2 in.ch beads

equally distributed over the contact surface. The seats should be pressed into position

and kept under compression against the walls for at least 20 minutes. More joint

sealant is then applied in 1/2 inch beads over all seams top and bottom of the seat

and troweled flat using a wedi Corner Putty Knife. Allow the Joint Sealant to cure

for 24 hours before applying wedi mesh tape over these seams and cover them with thin-set mortar. Tiling may begin. Note that

the maximum seat size in this shape is limited to 18 inch seat length at both connecting (90° corner) walls. Such field constructed

seats are approved for a combined live and dead load/weight of up to 250 lb centered on the seat. A slight 1% water run off slope

should be constructed on the seat surface through the tile application. Compare to wedi’s prefabricated suspended seats M and

L- these offer pre-sloped seat surfaces and can carry much higher loads.

5. Press the seat element into position and apply a weight (i.e., tile box) so the

sealant can set under bond pressure.

6. Apply a ½ in. bead of wedi joint sealant over the transition seams between

seat and wall on top side, underside, and side, and spread flat using a putty

knife so it covers 1 in.) of wall or seat surface on either side of the seam.

Once wedi joint sealant has dried to the touch, install wedi mesh tape over

all topside transitions to the wall and cover with thinset mortar.

7. Tiling can start immediately. The seats are pre-sloped so tile can be installed

flat over the seat’s surface.

1. Apply wedi Joint Sealant to the side of the mounting bracket that will be attached to the wedi Building Panel wall.

2. Evenly distribute wedi Joint Sealant with a putty knife until the whole contact area is covered.

3. Mount the brackets through the wedi Building Panel wall into the solid 2 × 4 wooden framework. Ensure the brackets are in

level position.

4. Using a putty knife, apply wedi Joint Sealant to the blue foam edges of the seat that will contact the wedi Building Panel wall

and brackets.
