What is Wedi PreLine?
This pre-routed XPS (extruded polystyrene) building board, developed to simplify the installation of underfloor heating systems. The board features factory-integrated grooves, perfectly sized for 16mm hot water pipes, allowing for quick and precise pipe placement. Its XPS core serves as both a thermal insulator and a waterproof barrier, ensuring maximum heat retention and moisture protection.
Applications and Benefits
Wedi PreLine is a versatile solution that can be used in a variety of floor applications. It is particularly effective as a base element for installing underfloor heating systems, providing reliable thermal insulation that ensures even and consistent heat distribution across the floor. When paired with the appropriate system accessories, Wedi PreLine offers exceptional waterproofing, making it perfect for wet areas like bathrooms.
In addition to its heating applications, it is also ideal for laying tiles, slabs, or natural stone floor coverings using the thin-bed method. It is quick to install, lightweight, and dimensionally stable, offering a durable and long-lasting foundation for any floor project.
Easy Installation and Reliability
Installing Wedi PreLine is straightforward. The boards can be easily fitted onto almost any surface, and pipe ducts can be backfilled using appropriate tile adhesive (we recommend Ardex or BAL high performance). The material’s strong insulation properties prevent heat loss to the ground, ensuring efficient heating performance. Additionally, Wedi PreLine is approved for indoor use in rooms with normal temperatures, offering reliable performance in living spaces.
The pre routed board comes in 30mm 40mm and 50mm making it ideal where build ups are restricted .
