wedi has Dramatic Effect on Under-Tile Heating

The use of wedi Tilebacker Board as a substrate for mat and foil under-tile heating systems is dramatically enhancing the effectiveness of these systems.

Because of the powerful thermal insulation characteristics of wedi Tilebacker Board, heat loss into the void below wooden floors or into the concrete slab is substantially reduced.

Heat is reflected back through the tile into the room, and thus the tiles or stone finishes act as heat stores.

Practical experience has shown that the time taken to achieve 20C on tiled surfaces is reduced from 2 hours, to a little over 35 minutes when using wedi Tilebacker Board below mat and foil type heating systems.

It is also reported that customers running costs are reduced as a result of the desired temperature being achieved more quickly, and heat loss curtailed.

Further benefits of using wedi Tilebacker Board are that it provides a totally waterproof and ideal surface for tiling onto.

wedi Tilebacker Board from wedi Systems (UK) Ltd is a high quality, inert, dimensionally stable building board.

It is manufactured CFC and HCFC free, achieving zero ozone depletion in both production and usage.

It is the first and only product of its type to have achieved BBA Certification, guaranteeing compliance with all building regulations.

wedi Tilebacker Board consists of a rigid Styrofoam core, reinforced with a polymer modified cement coating and fibre glass mesh.

Available in a wide variety of thicknesses, it can be fixed to virtually any floor or wall substrate.

It provides the ideal surface for all kinds of ceramic or natural stone finishes.
