Installation instructions wedi Fundo Riolito neo / Riolito neo Modular Drain Cover
After Installation
All visible joints or seams in the installation are visibly covered and reinforced with wedi Joint Sealant applied at over the seams. Coverage of wedi Joint
Sealant over all seams should be at least 1 inch (25.4 mm) on either side of the seam. The wedi Joint Sealant should be no less than 1/16 inch (1.6 mm) thick
for strength. Do not add mesh tape into the wedi Joint Sealant. This may only put the waterproong performance at risk and will not strengthen the sealant’s
or system’s resistance against movement related stresses. Once wedi Joint Sealant application over all shower system seams has been completed, an optional
water ood test may be performed as early as 2 hours later. The test should not exceed 24 hours and nor should the water level exceed the height of the
perimeter seams so that the fresh sealant may continue to a full cure without too much weight added during that process. wedi recommends to test at least
the drain connection for its proper seal while a full surface ood test is not technically required for non-absorbing products like wedi but may be required
by a building inspection department. When tiling commences, no premixed and organic ("mastic") tile adhesives must be used over wedi Systems in any
wet area installation. When tiling the wedi Shower Bases incl. extensions or ramps, tile thickness should generally not be less than 1/8” (3.2 mm). Choose
setting materials appropriate for the type of stone, ceramic or glass tile as well as for a wet area installation. Tile with a square size of 2 × 2” (50.8 × 50.8
mm) or more may be installed using a polymer modied cement based tile adhesive and grout. Tile with a square size of less than 2 × 2” (50.8 × 50.8 mm)
may be installed using a polymer modied cement based tile adhesive and require 100 % solids epoxy grout. Tile with a square size of 1 × 1” (25.4 × 25.4 mm)
or less must be installed using a 100 % solids epoxy tile adhesive and grout. Only non-at bottom pebble stone installations including in part small mosaics
may be installed using polymer modied cement based tile adhesive and grout, all at bottom pebble stone installation are subject to the general tile size
based setting materials recommendation outlined above. When installing non-square tile, the length of the shortest tile edge(s) is considered as its square
size for the purpose of determining the choice of the setting materials as outlined above. All tile installations designed to receive heavier point loads such as
from wheelchair use, must be grouted using 100 % solids epoxy grout. Large format tile may be installed over wedi Fundo shower bases. Cuts may have to
be made in consideration of the base’s slope lines and so that such tile can always be fully supported by the tile adhesive setting bed and the surface of the
wedi Base. Tile adhesive coverage under the tile must be 95 % and special care must be taken to achieve good transfer of adhesive to wedi’s shower base
when working with mesh backed tile. Please use only solvent and acid free cleaners and sealers on tile and grout installed over wedi product and apply such
products only in amounts as needed to treat the surface materials without drenching the substrate. Follow setting materials manufacturers recommendations
and contact wedi with any questions or regarding applications not covered here.
