Hi There.
I always hardiebacker chipboard floors but possible on this occasion i may need to use just Ditra.
Would Ditra direct to a chipboard floor be fine if there is no deflection anyone thinks.
Cheers.

Hi,
Planning to tile my bathroom in the next few weeks, the floor structure is chip board on the new extension size and floor boards on the old part of the bathroom. The floor is solid and I'm planning to put 6mm no more ply glued/screwed down.

What do you all use for laying Ditra? Usually use a float and my feet but have a big area to lay next week so looking something a bit more efficient. Was thinking of making up a Karl Dahm style roller, then today seen a water filled lawn roller which looked like it might be an idea. Anybody use...
I have a Tuff2 shower tray installed, I have just purchased some ditra uncoupling matting.
Should this be installed over the entire tray or just butted up to it and then taped across on to the former. The matting is a lot stiffer than I thought it would be and I am concerned about losing my falls.
If this has been asked before I apologise, maybe someone can point me to a thread that covers this. I see many posts where tilers mention that, on wood, they don't tile without putting ditra down first and other posts mention just backer board or ply/backerboard. The question is when is it best...

Hi first post here (but lots of info from the forums thanks)
Just had a tiler round to price tilling kitchen and hall approx 65m2 he suggested ditra bat but very expensive looked at dura but similar price
600x600 11mm porc anhydrite screed (spelling?)
is there a cheaper version of the mat
CHEERS
I priced up 150msq Ditra at TG, and a local tile shop and the cheapest was £2013 inc vat, at CTD Durabase £898.70 inc vat. Ok I know its on offer but thats a riddiculess difference. And its just as good, from what I'v heard
Hi, fairly new on here and going with advice to use a decoupling membrane before tiling my kitchen. I was looking for the best price on ditra matting when I came across another German manufactured product called 'Dural' which purports to be the exact same thing only made by another manufacturer...
Hi,
Just venturing over from the plumbing forums. I'm after some advice about Ditra mat, I went to a tiling shop today for some quotes on tiles and mentioned that I have 2 different floor types (wooden floor boards on old part of house and sand and cement screed on the new extension) and need...
