Curbs and Ramps
Available in several options for shower entry designs where transitions are required, wedi curbs and ramps can be installed with wedi Fundo shower bases, as well as conventional mortar bed systems. Waterproof and versatile, wedi Curbs and Ramps may be tiled before any glass doors, panels or glass block is installed and can carry weight of up to 480 lbs./ft. Epoxy glue is recommended instead of screw fasteners when installing shower door tracks.
wedi Curb Overs are designed to water-proof over existing 2’ x 4’ wood constructions. A conventional PVC pan liner is sandwiched inside between the 2’ x 4’ and the wedi Curb Over. The wedi Curb Over will provide additional water-proofing and square corners for a perfect tile job. No fasteners should penetrate the curb except on the vertical outside of the shower. Attach with thinset mortar only. Please install curb over in accordance with the TCNA Handbook detail.
