  • wedi Subliner Flex: A decoupling membrane made from stable reinforcing fabric, designed to reduce tension between tiles and substrates, ideal for interior applications and refurbishment projects.
  • wedi Subliner Dry & Flex: Combines sealing and decoupling properties, suitable for both interior and exterior use.
Decoupling
  • Tension Decoupling: Neutralizes surface tensions, suitable for acoustic and thermal decoupling.
  • Acoustic Decoupling: Reduces sound transmission between surfaces.
Sealing
  • Sealing with Building Boards: Utilizes wedi building boards for effective sealing in various applications.
  • Special Sealing for Wet Areas: Ensures no damage or hygiene impairments in high moisture areas.
  • Use of Sealing Membranes: Details the application of different types of sealing membranes.
Standards and Regulations
The document references standards such as DIN 18195 for waterproofing and ETAG 022 for European sealing regulations, emphasizing the importance of selecting appropriate sealing based on environmental conditions and load classes.
General Product Description
The document describes various building materials produced by wedi, including the wedi building board Vapor and impact sound deadening boards like Nonstep Plan and Nonstep Plus, designed for moisture protection, heat insulation, and sound deadening.
Specifications
The wedi building board Vapor is a composite element with a polystyrene core and cement coating, featuring a vapour barrier, suitable for high humidity areas. The Nonstep boards are designed to reduce impact sound under floor coverings.
Technical Data
The building board Vapor has a thermal conductivity of 0.036 W/mK and a fire behavior rating of B1. The Nonstep Plan board improves impact sound by 14 dB, while the Nonstep Plus board improves it by 16 dB.
Applications
The building board Vapor is used for moisture protection and thermal insulation, while the Nonstep boards are used for decoupling floor coverings and reducing impact sound.
Storage and Handling
All products should be stored flat, protected from direct sunlight and moisture, with specific handling instructions provided for optimal performance and safety.
Safety and Disposal
The products are non-hazardous and can be disposed of as building site waste. Safety data sheets should be consulted as needed.
Specifications and Components
  • wedi Nonstep Plus: Made from recycled rubber and XPS flakes, used for impact sound deadening.
  • wedi Subliner Flex: Used for tension decoupling between tiles and substrate.
  • wedi building board: Provides sealing for load classes A, A0, and B.
  • wedi building board Vapor: Functions as thermal insulation, sealing, and vapor barrier.
  • wedi Subliner Dry: A thin-layer, crack-bridging sealing membrane.
  • wedi Subliner Dry & Flex: Combines sealing and decoupling.
Procedures
  • Installation of wedi Subliner Flex: Lay out and cut, apply thin-bed mortar, place edge to edge, and press.
  • Acoustic Decoupling: Use wedi Nonstep Plan for uneven surfaces and wedi Nonstep Plus for rigid surfaces.
  • Sealing with Building Boards: Apply wedi 610 adhesive sealant to joints, reinforce with tape.
  • Use of Sealing Membranes: Lay out wedi Subliner Dry, apply thin-bed mortar, overlap joints, and seal with tape.
Recommendations
  • Store wedi Nonstep Plus boards flat, protected from sunlight and moisture.
  • Ensure proper curing of thin-bed mortar before installing floor coverings.
  • Level out any unevenness before laying boards or tiles.
  • Use appropriate sealing tapes and adhesives for joints and corners to ensure waterproofing.

Sealing of regulated / non-regulated areas The sealing of buildings is, inter alia, dened in DIN 18195 Waterproong of buildings. Additional rules and standards are included on the ZDB information sheet for composite sealing elements. A relatively new set of rules is provided by ETAG 022. Here, sealings are regulated from a European perspective. In principle, sealings should work and ensure that no damage to the structural element or any impairments in terms of hygiene are caused by water, humidity as well as by other media such as lyes or acids. Which sealing is the most appropriate is dependent...

Decoupling with wedi building boards Decoupling is to be considered as an intermediate layer that neutralises any tensions coming from the surface. Decoupling systems are not standardised; they can both be used as acoustic decoupling and as thermal decoupling. The wedi building board can be used as decoupling between tiles and critical surfaces in all strengths. Furthermore, the wedi building board can also be used as thermal decoupling. If, for example, an electric oor heating is installed, the wedi building board can be used as thermal decoupling to the surface. The wedi building board ensures...
