    Slc or ditra mat to tile over UFH?

    When and where to use Ditra Mat

    Just a general question of when/where to use Ditra-mat. For example, I believe that it would be used on a bathroom floor which was an extension and had been screened. Would you need to use ditra mat if you was also tiling the floor outside of the bathroom eg, a hallway or kitchen? Any further...
