Wedi vs Delta Boards

[YT233]

Hi All,

Pleases can you advise which is the superior product Wedi or delta?

Is it a matter of personal preference, or are there certain characteristics of one that is better then the other?

There are many brands all very similar, but wedi is probably the best of its sort, and the original. But delta board is a good board.

Wedi, Delta, Marmox, Jackoboard etc are all very similar and as above Wedi the original and very good only one imo superior to this is Schluter Kerdi board, but at a premium price.

What makes you say the kerdi board is superior?

Do I use Schluter Kerdi board no, cannot justify to a customer price which can be near 4 times as much as a trade tile insulation board and no stockists near either so pointless

No that's fair enough. I am just trying to figure out the differences in quality.

So far between wedi and kerdi, Wedi has fibreglass and cement Kerdi does not, so Wedi is hazardous when cut?? Also Kerdi board is vapour resistant, but the normal wedi board is not.

Wedi not harmful if cut with a sharp knife, and a top notch product.

Kerdi has waterproof core and waterproof fleece coating, wedi just has waterproof core and cement coating
