ditra

Hi, We have a 55 square metre kitchen that we want to tile with 80cm x 50cm limestone tiles. We have NO UFH. 80% of the room is a newly screeded floor (extension) which is perfectly level (to within the tolerance of an 8 foot level placed in various places). The screed is dry having been...

Hi everyone and a happy new year to you all.......I'm just after a second opinion here regarding fixing some 600 x 600 polished porcelain on top of Schluter ditra matting please. The floor ( 100mm sand & cement screed ) is fairly flat but not perfect was laid on the 9th November, I just wanted...

Hi Peeps I have a query regarding a wet room. A repeat costumer asked me to look at a job that a builder left unfinished (dont ask). The customer wants Ditra laid on the boarded floor (18mm) but the preformed shower base is flush with the board. Can Ditra be laid on the preformed base or does...

Landlords trying to hold my sister at fault for kitchen floor tiles cracking all over.. Something missing??? :thumbsup:

Hey guys, It's very rare I'm ever asked to do this kind of work, most remedial stuff is done before I arrive, hence the lack of knowledge! :( I'm having to make good a bathroom floor that is failing. Only managed to get a small piece up this afternoon just out of sheer curiosity tbh, the rest...

Had an interesting point come up this week.i was trying to put architect off using anhydrite screed and suggested that I could fix ditra on sand cement screed after approx 5 days. I know you could do earlier. Architect then asked how long you need to leave screed before putting on underfloor...

So, two questions in one I guess! Finished a customers cloakroom 2 weeks ago, got called back last Friday as there was an area of grout that was constantly looking wet :( To cut a long story short I've ended up ripping up the new expensive Quartz and Resin sparkly tiles (I nearly cried!) to...

this is a porcelain plank 1000x150 completed by myself and @AliGage earlier this year. Porcelain Plank Floor Shepperton

I am a customer not a tiler! My architect wants to lay limestone tiles directly on to the screed which is a sand and cement mix with the UFH pipes in it. This is laid on a solid concrete base. The screed has SBR and some fibres in it. My worry is that the limestone tiles with all their natural...

Hi guys, have not got round to tiling the bathroom and kitchen floor and was wondering how high the finished tile height will be once completed? Tiles are 9mm thick and I will be using the Schluter Ditra as recommended. Jimmy

Has anyone used ditra sound boards before. and does this sound about right for installing. Secure floor boards and overboard with no more ply Fix ditra with spf addy tile Any advice is always apreciated

Perhaps one for @SchlüterSystems themselves to answer. When was ditra first made and used? Is that tiling job still down? Was it the first of its kind? And just one for the hell of it - what was your first pets name and the name of your first street? (we get your 'acting' name then don't we...

Morning All. I have 3 wetrooms on a anhydrite screed coming up and I am initially thinking of the way I plan to spec it. The usual anhydrite preparation I'm well aware of and I was thinking of installing Ditra so it just laps onto the tray. The customer has decided he wants the 3 floors doing...

Got a 20 m2 kitchen ta do wiv UFH on mixed substrates, thinking about trying these new decoupling/UFH systems. Any thoughts, suppliers etc...

What's 20sqm of both of the above costing at trade these days guys? And where's best to get it from?

Builder has laid u/f heating on insulation boards and then latexed in a small (3sq.m) upstairs en-suite. Would it be OTT to lay Ditra matting before fixing porcelain tiles?

Quick poll! Dural Durabase C++ Matting or Schluter Ditra Matting?

Good evening. Quick question. Can you latex over already laid ditra Matt to get a few bumps and hollows out. I know this is normally done first but unfortunately it's already been laid. Many thanks.

Good evening. Just want to see what the general feeling is with regards to using ditra mat on new and old screeds. I know it's probably been answered a number of times on the forum. I would always recommend it especially with UFH. I even recommend it on old screeds but is it always necessary or...

Hi all, I am after a bit of advice after becoming conbfised over many different answers from many different folk. I have laid over a solid concrete floor battens which are fixed solidly to this floor. In between this there is celotex insulation. Fixed to these battens are grooved baords from...
