Ditra Floor Mat

Uncoupling waterproofing vapor management and support to ensure a long lasting installation.

Ditra floor mat.

Floor warming ditra heat combines the flexibility of loose heating cables with the ease of installation of mat systems. Ditra is 1 8 in thick and is designed for ceramic and stone tile. Uncoupling membrane for tiled floor applications. Ditra can be installed over a variety of subfloors including concrete plywood osb and radiant heated floors.

It is made of polyethylene creating a waterproofing layer protecting the substrate. Solidly embed the matting into the mortar using a float screed trowel or ditra roller making sure to observe the open time of the bonding mortar. The ditra mat is now installed and you can immediately install floor tile on it. The schluter ditra uncoupling membrane is specifically designed to allow the installation of ceramic and stone tile over any even and load bearing substrate.

Uncoupling membrane for tiled floor applications. Schluter ditra membranes provide uncoupling through free space which allows for in plane movement that effectively neutralizes the differential movement stresses between the substrate and the tile thus eliminating the major cause of cracking and delaminating of the tiled surface. Install over a wide range of substrates including plywood osb concrete gypsum heated floors etc. Prevents cracked tile and grout and provides waterproofing.

The thickness of the tile assembly is minimized by using ditra which is only 1 8 in. Step 5 installing tile on ditra mat installing tile on ditra mat is the same as most other tile substrates except that you must use the flat side of the trowel to fill the square holes on the top of the ditra with thinset before troweling on thinset with a notched. Schluter ditra heat integrates customizable comfortable electric floor warming with the functions associated with ditra. These thin 1 4 mats are designed with a stud structure that allows heating cables to fit snuggly into ensuring a quicker installation and lower profile than when installing traditional ditra uncoupling membranes over floor heating mats cables.
