wedi: your building board specialist and system supplier for innovative building products
Two things must be ensured when laying ceramic tiles, slabs and natural stone: relative deformations between the screed and the ceramic covering must be accommodated in a durable manner, and the substrate must be protected against water penetration.
We help you fashion wellness environments
When wedi building boards were first launched on the market, they redefined the properties of tile underlay elements. After 25 years of continual product development, wedi building boards are still in a class of their own, and they are now used for bathroom architecture and fashioning wellness worlds, in addition to their conventional use in wall and floor construction. Personalised dream showers with steam oases, tile-ready bathroom fixtures, and room dividers in all imaginable forms. Floor-level showers with a wide variety of designer drains or integrated gutters. Cosy sauna environments with heated benches. Free-standing showers and bathtubs – it's all possible thanks to a simple blue board.
System concept: more than just a building board
With numerous outstanding product innovations and problem solutions, wedi has become a technology pioneer and a source of creative stimulus in the industry. Advanced designs, superior materials, and application expertise acquired from many years of experience stand behind the top quality of wedi products. The theme: one-stop shopping with perfectly matched components – including building boards, prefabricated elements and more– enables wedi to act as a system supplier for innovative building products in national as well as international markets.
Setting a course for the future
To properly meet the expectations of a top-end market, wedi not only offers its customers high-quality individual products, but also offers trade contractors a concept that enables them to market their services profitably. In addition to numerous forms of technical and commercial support, we offer training courses and customer events as all-in packages available to order.
Starting in 2009, our position as a leading national and international supplier of innovative, high-quality products is expressed by a new brand identity. The objective is to create a recognisable brand identity for the wedi brands in terms of content, emotional valorisation, and consistency. The external image should communicate the internal values of the enterprise and the high quality expectations of the market. The new brand identity encompasses the complete corporate design, including the corporate colours, the brochures, and the Internet presence. It communicates clearly, is readily understandable, helps outsiders find their way in the wedi world, and reinforces the core message: wedi is more than just building boards – wedi is a system.

About us
With headquarters in Emstedtten in the Münsterland region of Germany, wedi GmbH is essentially the founder of the market segment of tile underlay elements made from extruded rigid polystyrene foam. In slightly more than 25 years, it has grown from a tile setting company into a market leader in the field of tile-ready building boards. Stephan Wedi now stands at the helm of the company in the second generation.
As a result, wedi remains a family-owned business in the best sense of the term, despite the worldwide scope of its activities. The values endorsed by company founder Helmut Wedi, who died in 1998, are just as vital as ever: "Innovative products cannot be developed at the drawing-board alone; a direct relationship with actual practice is essential". As a family company, wedi pursues a clearly defined corporate strategy with a long-term orientation. Its relationships with customers and suppliers are characterised by trust, reliability, and flexibility. As the proprietor of the company, Stephan Wedi stands behind its products in name and in person.
