ditra

Good morning guys and gals, Went to look at a job at the weekend. Hallway in a victorian house. 15m2. Floorboards down at present. Big skirting boards present too. The owners want to replace the floorboards with 10mm Hardiebacker board with Ditra matting on top. They tell me Mr Hardie...

Hi there, need some advice. Have spoken to quite a few tilers, tile companies and read loads of info online and now I have a lot of conflicting advice/mixed opinions. I am renovating a house and have a 4m x 10m kitchen area. Original kitchen and flooring has been removed leaving a large empty...

hi guys I'm looking to tile my upstairs bathroom floor and was wondering if i need to use ditra matting if I'm putting bakker board down? any guidance if appreciated.

hi guys, kitchen I’m installing next week is now having an overlay ufh system installed by others but tiled by me. Simple question really, I’m going to use ditra matting onto the overlay boards then porcelain tiles. Do I set the matting in flex adhesive then leave to set before laying tiles or...

i have a room to tile that is 3.1m by 10m and I wonder if there is any problem with running the ditra parallel to the short edge so as to avoid a thin 0.1m strip? The tiles will be porcelain 1200x600 laid 1/4 offset but parallel to the long edge of the room.

Hi. I have about 55 sqm floor, anhydrite screed laid about 5 years ago with water UFH. Because my house is old, build 1902 on side of the hill and on the clay, I have few crack on floor. One of the first shop where I was looking for tiles, wood effect which I want, was Topptiles. Because crack...

Brand new. Got few rolls. Some are full and some are openned.

Hi, I wonder if someone here can offer some independent verification of my what my tiler contractor are telling me. It is too late to change anything but I am keen to understand. We have a 50sq meter terrace raised 18” above ground level running the width of the house. A new 4” concrete base...

Hi all, I have recently had JK Underfloor heating route out my existing screed floor with a 15mm groove to take the underfloor heating pipe. They have done a great job but my tiler is worried about sticking the ditra matting straight over the top without latexing it first to take up any small...

Hello, I am still deciding the best option for laying 300x600 porcelain floor tiles on. I am considering laying 12mm ply on top of existing 18mm floor and using Schuter Ditra. I understand that I need a unmodified adhesive to put the tiles on top of the Ditra. Can anyone give me the name of...

Looking forward to fitting @Schlüter-Systems Ltd ufh tomorrow, customer chose it after doing loads of research himself.

(I know similar questions have been posted before but they're closed for follow up questions) I have a 1930s house where I'm renovating the bathroom - a complete refit that includes removing all the squeaky, somewhat rotten (in places), but crucially not-level floorboards and replacing them with...

Hi all, apologies if this has been asked before, but couldn't find an example for this situation. Question is do I need to decouple with Ditra mat (or similar) or will it be fine without? Tiles are 10mm thick porcelain. This is in a new extension linking to existing kitchen. The new...

Hi all I’m taking up bathroom floor tiles which have been laid on ditra which was put down on top of floorboards. The ditra is proving difficult to get up but seems secure and fixed in most places. Can you retile over The existing ditra ?? If not can you recommend best course of action RE...

Excuse me of this has been done to death but my normal prep for chip board or floor boards (besides fixing the boards themselves) is to glue and screw 6mm cement board then over the top with Ditra mat. Is this too belt-and-braces to do in every situation or is this the norm? Cheers.

Hi Guys. Tiling a floor next week over a suspended timber subfloor. I'm first putting Ditra down with an S2 Adhesive over the ply, then tiling a limestone floor. Whats you're opinions on using Mapei Adesilex p9 ontop of the ditra to stick the stone?

Hi Guys, Opinions please, upstairs bathroom, brand new 22m chipboard, new install. I have always gone with 6mm Hardie Glued and screwed, then cleaned up acrylic primed and wire layed on Hardie and taped down, then latex ed over with 2 Part SLC, then tile? Customer/electrician has suggested...

Hi all, I'm not much of a forum poster, and am also new here to this one. Additionally, in pre-admission, I'm no professional tiler (although I've successfully performed various vast scale tiling jobs at home), just an avid DIYer. My situation which lead me to post here revolves around me...
