Why Choose Wedi Shower Bases?

A shower is only as reliable as the foundation beneath it. Poorly constructed shower bases can lead to drainage problems, waterproofing failures and costly repairs that are difficult to rectify once tiling is complete. Wedi shower bases are designed to solve these challenges by combining accurate falls and waterproof protection into one engineered system. This allows builders, tilers and waterproofers to install showers with greater confidence while reducing labour time and improving installation consistency. Homeowners benefit from a shower system that delivers reliable performance, supports modern flush to floor bathroom designs and helps protect surrounding structures from moisture damage. Choosing Wedi shower bases means investing in a proven system that saves time during construction while providing long term waterproof performance.

Wedi Building Panels can be combined with the Wedi Fundo range to create an integrated waterproof shower and wet area system. While the panels are primarily used to prepare walls, floors and other surfaces for tiling, Fundo shower elements create the waterproof, pre sloped foundation beneath the shower floor.

This solves an important bathroom construction problem. Traditional shower floors require installers to manually create the correct fall towards the drain while coordinating waterproofing, drainage and tiling. Fundo shower bases are manufactured with the required fall already incorporated into the element, reducing the number of individual construction stages.

The Wedi system therefore allows the shower base and surrounding Wedi Building Panels to work together as part of a broader wet area solution. The right Fundo base depends primarily on the bathroom design, drainage position and the type of finished shower the customer wants to achieve.

Wedi Fundo Riolito is designed for customers wanting a floor level tiled shower with linear drainage rather than a conventional point drain. Instead of directing water towards a small central or offset outlet, the shower base directs water towards an integrated channel drain, creating a clean and contemporary bathroom finish.

The required fall is already incorporated into the Fundo Riolito element, removing much of the complexity involved in manually forming the shower floor. The system is waterproof and directly tileable, while the linear drainage configuration provides additional design possibilities for modern bathrooms and wet rooms.

This makes Fundo Riolito particularly attractive when the shower design is an important architectural feature or when a streamlined drain appearance is preferred.

For customers comparing Wedi shower systems, the difference is straightforward. Fundo Primo uses point drainage, while Fundo Riolito uses linear drainage. Both can integrate with Wedi Building Panels to create a coordinated waterproof shower system.
