Good step by step instructions. The wet room concept seems to be so much more popular in Europe and Asia than it is in the United States at this point - but I think with the need for more universal shower designs it will be growing dramatically in the States as well.

Sorry , misread your reply , you meant a tapered board to surround a linear drain I think , not a fundo with a linear drain in it.

A tapered board must be possible I take it as the fundo is tapered .

[Dames12345]

The prob I see with a linear channel would be the restriction caused by the direction/width of the joists on a timberfloor. Also the bigger the drain is, maybe it would weaken the structural integrity of the fundo?

Are you connected to Wedi then?

They don't have such a board but I agree that it would be good if they did. I will forward the idea.

It would laso be useful for linear channel drains.

[Dames12345]

Do they do tapered edge board? Also do they do a board that runs from say 40mm to match the fundo up to 50mm or the next board depth , given the width of the board this would probably do away with the need for a screen even for the most powerful showers as it would give up to an extra 1200mm fall.

Just a thought.

@bisthewhizz .

Before I carry on ,i have used Wedi before and think it is a good system , but there are a couple of issues in my humble opinion. Firstly there is the issue of the overun I've mentioned . This can be compounded though by the taping of the joints. As the boards are not tapered at the egdes , this can create a hump beyond which water will not flow back past , this is a particular problem when fitting mosaic as a thin bed is used to fix.

overall tho' a good product.

Thaty is a very good point and the reason why many people go for a frameless screen or snail shower which is also avaiable from Wedi. I have seen manyu wet rooms that have ended up a little too wet. Personally I always fit underfloor heating to dry out the rest of the floor but of course that isn't a good thing in the summer.

You could fix firing strips on the joist before the floor is laid to make sure the whole room drains to the Fundo tray.
