wedi Building Boards are more than just a tile backer—they’re a foundation for endless installation possibilities.
Completely Waterproof: The CFC- and HBCD-free blue extruded polystyrene core is internally and permanently waterproof.
Strong & Stable: Reinforced with fiberglass mesh and coated in polymer resin mortar, the boards are dimensionally stable and incredibly strong, ensuring highest adhesion for any type of tile adhesive. This structure eliminates the risk of delamination.
Fast & Easy Installation: They are lightweight, clean, and simple to cut, and they’re compatible with virtually any substructure.
Versatile: Available in various thicknesses and sizes, you can tile with all formats, including mosaics, stone, glass, and are especially beneficial for large-format and thin tiles due to their durability and even surface.
The wedi Building Boards can be applied to shower walls and wet areas perpendicular or parallel to the framing, saving time and reducing joint frequency. The boards are fastened quickly and easily in place using wedi fasteners. Once the boards are secured and seams and fasteners are sealed with wedi 610 Adhesive Sealant, tiling can begin immediately.
All in a fraction of the time previously
required by traditional methods. The wedi Building Board combines tile backer board and waterproofing in one product and installation step. This saves time and cost. Its solid waterproof core eliminates concerns typically associated with alternative waterproofing
products such as pinholes or delamination. The entire shower structure is protected by wedi‘s warranty: from bottom to top!
Full System Warranty: When installed according to the manufacturer’s guidelines, the WEDI system (boards, shower pan, sealant, fasteners) often comes with a strong, multi-year system warranty. This means the manufacturer backs the entire waterproof assembly, providing greater peace of mind.
Insulating Properties: The XPS foam core provides excellent thermal insulation, which can help keep the shower warmer and prevent condensation that can lead to mold and mildew.
Mold Resistant: Being made of non-organic material (XPS foam, fiberglass mesh, and cement resin), WEDI is highly resistant to mold and mildew growth.

Frequently Asked Questions
Your Questions, Answered.
1.Cost & Budgeting
This is the most common question, and the answer varies widely based on several factors. A simple “pull-and-replace” cosmetic update in a small bathroom might start in the low thousands, while a complete gut renovation with high-end materials and layout changes can be significantly more.
The final cost depends on:
Size of the bathroom: More square footage means more materials and labour.
Quality of materials: Fixtures, tiles, and vanities come in a vast range of price points.
Scope of work: Are we moving plumbing or electrical? Changing the layout is more complex than simply replacing fixtures in their existing spots.
Custom features: Things like heated floors, steam showers, or custom cabinetry will increase the budget.
2. What is included in your estimate?
Our comprehensive estimates are transparent and typically include:
A detailed scope of the work to be performed.
All labour costs (demolition, plumbing, electrical, tiling, installation, painting).
All building materials specified in the design (e.g., drywall, mortar, grout).
Permit acquisition fees.
Debris removal and site cleanup.
A clear list of allowances for items you select, such as tiles, vanities, faucets, and lighting.
3. Are there any hidden costs I should worry about?
Several factors influence renovation costs including:
- Scope and complexity of work
- Quality of materials selected
- Structural modifications required
- Permit and inspection fees
- Accessibility of work areas
- Discovery of hidden issues (water damage, outdated wiring, etc.)
4. How do payments work?
Our payment schedule is designed to be fair and is tied to project milestones. It typically looks like this:
Initial Deposit: To secure your spot in our schedule and begin material ordering (e.g., 15-20%).
Progress Payments: Made at pre-defined stages, such as after demolition, after rough-ins are complete, or upon tile installation.
Final Payment: Due upon project completion and your final approval.
5. How long does a typical bathroom renovation take?
Once construction begins, a standard bathroom renovation typically takes 3 to 5 weeks. This can be shorter for cosmetic updates or longer for large, complex projects that involve moving walls or significant plumbing rerouting. The pre-construction phase (design, material selection, permitting) can take several weeks before any work starts in your home.
6. What are the steps in the renovation process?
Our process is structured to ensure a smooth project from start to finish:
Initial Consultation: We discuss your vision, needs, and budget.
Design & Quoting: We create a design plan and provide a detailed quote.
Material Selection: We guide you through choosing all your fixtures and finishes.
Scheduling & Permits: We order materials and acquire any necessary building permits.
Demolition & Prep: We carefully demolish the old bathroom and prepare the site, protecting the rest of your home from dust.
Rough-ins: Our licensed plumbers and electricians complete any new plumbing and wiring.
Installation: We install drywall, flooring, tile, vanity, fixtures, and lighting.
Finishing Touches: Painting, trim work, and final hardware are completed.
Final Walkthrough & Handover: We walk through the finished space with you to ensure every detail meets your satisfaction.
7. Will I be without a functioning bathroom during the renovation?
Yes, the bathroom being renovated will be completely out of commission from demolition until the new toilet and sink are installed near the end of the project. If this is your only bathroom, it’s crucial to make alternative arrangements. We work as efficiently as possible to minimize this downtime.
8. Do I need to hire my own designer?
Not at all! We offer designer services as part of our renovation package. Our team can help you with layout planning, material suggestions, colour schemes, and selecting fixtures that fit your style and budget.
