Description
The Wedi Fundo Ligno Recess Installation Kit is designed to help you recess a wood floor between existing floor joists (2×10 joists, engineered or I joist construction) without the need of sistering these joists with more 2×6 or other wood framing material. It will add safety in terms of structural stability of the recess, but will also allow for a safe installation process, and save much time compared to working with framing material only.
The Wedi recess bracket support system will allow a 3/4″ wood floor to be solidly situated between and flush with joists. The bracket system connects, carries, and supports the recessed wood not only along floor joists but also along with the surrounding subfloor (not recessed) as well as sides of the shower where the wood meets the framing bottom plates.
Please ensure the general subfloor construction, prior to installing the Wedi system meets current IRC requirements for structural construction and dead and live load minimums, as well as a deflection potential of less than L/360. Once the Wedi Bracket System is installed, and the recessed floor is in place, all requirements will still be met or exceeded. The system comes in one box equipped with two different profile types and all the hardware needed. One Kit covers recess spaces for a Fundo Ligno up to 5 × 5 ft. in size. Do not use this system for any other recessed shower installations except Wedi Fundo Ligno system.
