01 / Walls & Features
wedi Building Panels
A lightweight, stable tile backer with a 100% waterproof XPS core. Properly sealed joints, fasteners, corners, niches, and penetrations keep the wall assembly continuous.
Wedi Shower Systems in Hamilton
A waterproof shower starts behind the tile.
Royal Blue Construction installs wedi shower systems as one coordinated foundation—from the waterproof building panels and sealed transitions to the pre-sloped shower base and drain.
Royal Blue's Preferred Shower System
Why we build with wedi.
We use wedi because its components are engineered to work together. The waterproof XPS-core panels, Fundo shower bases, curbs, niches, drains, fasteners, and sealants create a tile-ready assembly with fewer improvised transitions.
Tile and grout are the visible finish—not the waterproofing. A dependable shower needs continuous protection at the walls, floor, drain, corners, niches, benches, fasteners, and plumbing penetrations.

Inside the wedi System
Purpose-built components from wall to drain.
Each component has a specific job, and the connections between them are planned before tile installation begins.
02 / Base & Drainage
Fundo Shower Bases
Factory-formed shower bases combine a waterproof core with an integrated slope toward the drain. Point-drain, linear-drain, and curbless configurations support different room layouts.
03 / Finished Possibilities
Designed Around the Room
The system can support benches, prefabricated niches, curbs, low-profile entries, and compatible drains while giving the tile layout a stable surface beneath it.

Why It Matters
A high-performance finish needs a disciplined foundation.
One coordinated system
Walls, base, drain, corners, niches, fasteners, and penetrations are detailed as connected parts of the same assembly.
Slope formed at the factory
Fundo shower bases arrive with the drainage slope already built in, reducing variables beneath the finished tile.
Ready for the finish above
A stable, tile-ready surface supports precise layouts while the waterproofing remains continuous behind it.
Our Installation Approach
The system only works when every transition is resolved.
Royal Blue follows the room from substrate preparation through sealing and tile layout so the waterproofing is treated as a complete assembly.
Assess
Review framing, substrate, plumbing, drain location, entry height, and the intended tile finish.
Configure
Select the appropriate base, drain, panels, curb or curbless entry, niches, and accessories.
Assemble
Install and seal the components with close attention to joints, fasteners, penetrations, and changes of plane.
Finish
Coordinate the waterproof foundation with the tile layout, edge details, fixtures, and glass preparation.
What You See Lasts Because of What Is Beneath It
Plan the waterproofing before choosing the final details.
Drain style, entry height, niche placement, bench design, tile format, glass, and fixture locations all affect the system beneath the surface.
Bring those decisions into the conversation early and Royal Blue can design the preparation around the finished shower—not force the finish around avoidable constraints.
