    Floorboards…overboard and/or ditra?

    hey there, long time no speak. I’m helping a friend tile their bathroom and they wish to waterproof the floor with an isolation membrane (ditra). Looking at the floorboards, I’m wondering if it would be advisable to overboard first with some cement/insulation boards? Cheers

    Slc or ditra mat to tile over UFH?

    Hi I asked the Wunda technical department if I can just use a Ditra mat only and not the SLC. They said the Decoupling membranes are fine to use, they just don't form part of their normal recommendations. They advise that it would be best to bond the Ditra mat down with the recommended tile...

    Removing self leveller and Ditra from plywood floor

    Hi All, I’m ripping out a failed existing tiled floor. Tiles had not been back buttered so they popped off easily enough. I’m now confronted with a layer of tile adhesive, a layer of self levelling compound of varying thickness (6-12mm) covering electric underfloor heating mat which is on top...

    Advice/sensecheck on floor tile preparation - backerboard and ditra?

    Hi, Can't seem to find a solid answer as I realise so much depends on multiple factors. I'm planning to tile my kitchen floor with 8mm porcelain floor tiles (660x440mm). My kitchen floor is mostly wooden floorboards (house built in 1925), with a strip of concrete along the party wall from...

    Joining Ditra membrane and Jackoboard

    Hello guys, I'm doing a wetroom and will be using Ditra Heat Duo membrane for the UFH. I looked at Kerdi Boards for walls and Kerdi LTS for the shower tray but these are double the price of for example Jackboard so I thought of using that on walls and shower tray instead but my question is how...

    Ditra mat or not under floor tiles on ground floor?

    So, on the ground floor there is a wet underfloor heating system. It is using pipes that were installed into grooved ProWarm boards. On top of that is about 4cm of concrete. The current install then has floor tiles which had the adhesive directly on the concrete. For other reasons, all the floor...

    Should i use ditra mat over polypipe plus overlay boards?

    Hi. Need some advice. I've laid down polypipe plus overlay boards in my house. My tiler says we should place a ditra mat before laying tiles. However, polypipe say we should NOT use a ditra mat as it will prevent the tile adhesive from curing. Dont know what to do. Any advice from tilers /...

    Ditra over shower pan

    Aloha everyone. I've embarked on a bathroom remodel. I opted to use the hydro block shower pan and system. When I notched my joists and set my presloped pan, I've ended up flush with the existing wood subfloor. As such, now if I put any hardi board on top of subfloor, the transition to the...

    Tiling Over DITRA, need to clean excess out of little square cutouts?

    Hey There, I'm tiling 3' by 6" ceramic tiles over DITRA in a herringbone pattern. I can only do several tiles at a time, because of time constraints. So I do a little area and place the tiles, but of course there's all the excess thin set from either spillage or just going a little too far...

    Skim Coat and Patch product vs Thinset for flattening floor prior to Ditra?

    I'm preparing this floor for tile. I had screwed down an extra layer of 5/8 plywood but have left it off near the edge of the room because it jumps about 1/2" in elevation near the perimeter. I've filled in most of this gap now with a patching compound (Custom Skim Coat and Patch.) Now I just...

    Do you need to run Ditra right to the edge of the room? Thinking of leaving a gap to deal with a high perimeter.

    I've got a room with a two-layer plywood subfloor that is fairly flat (not level) but the floor ramps up at the perimeter fairly sharply. I'm going to be using Ditra for the installation (only for uncoupling - not worried about waterproofing). Rather than trying to raise the entire floor to...
