POOL ROOM COSTS PLUNGE WITH WEDI

wedi Systems Tilebacker Board not only keep intricate and beautiful tile designs securely fixed in place, but also brings another very significant benefit to customers which could cut their pool room heating costs by two thirds!

Reductions in overall heat loss through using wedi board on swimming pool walls are reflected in lower heating costs, estimated at between 33% when using 12.5 mm thick board and up to 66% for 50mm thick.

For example, if a swimming pool room costs £10,000 per year to heat, this represents a saving of between £3330 and £6600 every year for the life of the building!

Many installers consider wedi Board the ideal product for this type of application and it offers many benefits. It does not expand or contract with temperature variations, it’s extremely versatile, quick to fix and, of course, totally waterproof. All these elements are vital in ensuring tiles stay firmly in place throughout the life of the building.

However, one of the most significant benefits to the customer is the thermal insulation value of wedi Tilebacker Board which provides a substantial reduction in heating cost for the swimming pool room. wedi Tilebacker Board has long been established as providing the only sure solution to waterproofing and insulation problems for tiled bathrooms and wet areas, but in no other application does it offer such a dramatic reduction in heating costs.

Ian Fyfe, Managing Director of wedi, explains; “This is due to the board core material which consists of Dow Styrofoam, a heavy density extruded polystyrene foam. When used in wall and floor linings wedi Board puts insulation directly behind the tiles, creating a ‘rapid thermal response’. As heat passes through the tile surface it is simply reflected back into the room.
