wedi Mensolo U – prefab U-element for waterproof cladding, service shafts and wide custom constructions
The wedi Mensolo U-element is a robust prefab profile designed to quickly and neatly enclose pipes, drains, risers and technical shafts in a fully waterproof way. Thanks to its strong XPS core and fibre-reinforced mortar surface, the element provides an exceptionally stable base that is ready for tiling and integrates seamlessly with the complete wedi system.
With its generous internal dimensions, the U-element is ideal for larger technical zones, wide cladding structures and custom constructions that require additional space. Its factory-made precision guarantees a clean, accurate finish while significantly reducing installation time.
Perfect for wide cladding, technical zones and design constructions
The Mensolo U is used when the L-version is too narrow or when full enclosure is required. It is particularly suited for:
- cladding of riser pipes and drainage systems
- technical ducts, service shafts and wide utility chases
- column or pipe encasement
- supporting structures for shelves and ledges
- architectural shapes and premium design details
- decorative finishes with mosaic or small-format tiles
Thanks to its uniform corners and stable mortar surface, the U-profile is highly suitable for mosaic accents or decorative tile bands.
Fast, clean and professional installation
Because the element is completely prefabricated, there is no need to build complex boxings from loose boards. Its dimensional stability and factory precision ensure a perfect end result, ideal for both professionals and advanced DIY installers.
Waterproof installation with wedi Tools
For a fully waterproof installation, combine the U-element with:
- wedi 610 adhesive & sealant – for bonding and sealing
- wedi Reinforcement Tape – for transitions to other materials
- wedi Sealing Tape – for 100% waterproof joints
- wedi Washers & Fixings – optional for additional mechanical stability
Available sizes
The wedi Mensolo U-element is available in two versions, both with a length of 2600 mm:
- 150 × 300 × 150 mm – ideal for wider services and compact shafts
- 200 × 200 × 200 mm – symmetrical U-shape for universal applications
