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 it’s 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 struc

tural 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” 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. Load-bearing plywood is simply

re-installed between floor joists and over wedi’s recess kit bracket system. 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. The Fundo 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.
