wedi S-DRY Shower Systems

“For decades, wedi has been known for setting the standard in waterproof shower systems. As a former installer and now wedi’s Regional Sales Manager for the Northeastern U.S., I’ve seen firsthand how the right system can transform a jobsite. Before joining wedi, I ran my own tile installation business and earned my Certified Tile Installer certification (#1554). That background is exactly why wedi asked me to help develop our newest innovation: the wedi® S-DRY™ Shower System.

S-DRY™ was created to solve a challenge installers face every day: how to deliver a reliable, waterproof shower in projects where existing wallboard stays in place or where a mortar bed base is preferred. Not every job calls for a full prefabricated system, but every job still demands performance. That’s where S-DRY™ shines as it was designed for the installer, by an installer. Most professionals already know the wedi Fundo® system—our premium, internally waterproof, prefabricated XPS foam solution. Fundo® installs directly over framing, is ready for tile immediately, and offers unmatched consistency and speed. For steam environments, the wedi® Vapor 85 system remains a top choice for its integrated vapor barrier and dependable performance.

But installers told us they needed something more flexible that works where existing wall boards are in place.

• A system that fits tighter budgets.
• A system that still carries wedi’s reputation for reliability and a full warranty for the customer’s peace of mind.

wedi® S-DRY™ delivers exactly that.
S-DRY™ is, like other wedi product systems, designed as a “Best-in-Class” sheet membrane based shower system and engineered for versatility. The shower bases feature a durable membrane bonded to a secondary waterproofing layer, creating a robust and dependable surface. The drain is fully integrated at the factory—no onsite waterproofing required in the most critical area of the installation. Its reinforced, low profile design avoids joist conflicts and connects easily to copper, PVC, ABS, and even 1½ inch pipe.
 

The system uses wedi® S-DRY™ SEAL, an active waterproofing solution that minimizes buildup at seams and eliminates concerns about wicking through thinset. And because S-DRY™ is part of the wedi family, installers can combine it with premium components like niches, benches, and wedi® Building Panels to create hybrid systems that meet a wide range of design and budget needs, all while still being covered under wedi’s comprehensive warranty.
For wedi Certified PRO Installers, using wedi® PRO-SET™ premium thinset with either Fundo® or S-DRY™ unlocks access to wedi’s new Lifetime Limited Warranty—coverage designed to protect the installation for the entire duration of the homeowner’s ownership.”
