    Tiling onto non-flat chipboard floor - and with or without Ditra matting?

    We just had a 1.5 sq. m area of floor tiled professionally in our ensuite. The base floor is 18 mm chipboard and is screwed down hard to the joists, but dips down by a max. of around 4 to 5 mm in places. When laying the tiles, the tiler followed the floor precisely, and hence the finished...

    Ditra matting and trowel sizes

    Hi. About to lay ditra matting over cement board substrate. The Ditra handbook states use a 6mm x 5mm trowel. I have a 6x6 trowel. Is this likely to cause a problem? Also they state use a thin set mortar..... S2 flexible adhesive should be ok shouldn’t it? Thanks all

    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...

    Ditra matting and tiles cracking a year later

    We had tile installed in January of 2018. The installer put Ditra down. The grout stated to crack and come out a few months after installation. Other tiles move. Is this caused by the Ditra? Or some other reason?

    Anybody put Ditra on Hardiebacker?

    Morning all, Basically, timber joists, heated in between, customer been advised to use Hardiebacker straight onto joists with Ditra on top. My question is, has anyone done this? I’m thinking the HBB would suck the adhesive dry quicker? Should the board be primed? Thanks in advance,
