Wetray build up

[kaharrison9]

Good Evening.

Soon tiling a double wedi wet tray where the main floor tilers are 20mm thick plus adhesive.

The mosaics are 8mm thick so need to build up the tray by quite a bit.

I could use 2 rows of cheap mosaic or cut the falls in Wedi board and adhesive down.

Any thoughts on the best way?

In theory the wedi should be screwed down with washers in the wet area.

Would have been better if the plumber had have raised the trays for floor height but all was done way before i got on board.

Cheers.

You could just feather from the tiles back into the tray with adhesive, if you see what i mean...enough to finish at the same height from mosaic to tile transition..

If you build up around the drain then there is the issue with finish height for the cover..


The only issue this way is bed depth .

Another option is to put a curb in..

It is the Wedi Fundo Riofino and if i build from the middle of the tray the bed depth would be to high for the cover but i think i may be able to adapt the way it extends.

I would prefer to mosaic it a couple of times and then screed the edges for a smooth transition this way i should keep the falls.

Unsure if there are any pit falls if i use wedi board to build up like not been screwed down.

As you say maybe a curb

I had a similar situation with the need for the mosaic over a wedi tray to meet the floor tiles flush. I built it up with slc - slightly thicker than normal mix and floated back with a notched trowel - this made it easy to keep the falls...
