ditra

Hi folks, I am laying 3m2 of 300mm x 500mm ceramic tiles on to a timber floor that I have overlaid with plywood. I have bought some Ditra matting and would just like to know which adhesive i should use to lay the Ditra? Is it ok to use rapid set flexible floor tile adhesive? Thanks,Will.

Hi all Have a anhydrite floor starting next week and normally use ditra which I lay with cement based addy - Would it be possible to lay the ditra with a gypsum based addy instead? Obviously after sanding priming etc Many thanks Mike

Good evening all. went to see and priced a job the other where the customer wants a wet room style floor with a shower former tiled and the tiles running out into the rest of the room. He also wants UFH in the main area in the room. I will be using the ditra Heat system and the floor tiles are...

Sounds simple guys but I have a 25m2 kitchen floor to do, good new screed, underfloor piped heating. Go with Fexi adhesive or Ditra it first, I guess we could say that every senario should be Ditra-ed but is it really required always. Surely the whole point of Flexi adhesive is to take up the...

My new ditra roller, it might exceed weight limit for ditra but well worth the money. You can purchase one from Wolverhampton

Hello, Who would offer the best deals on the Dural or Ditra matting, I'm looking to but around 100 square metres? cheers

Kitchen is currently floorboards and dining room is concrete. Both areas are level. Customer wants 1200x400 wood effect porcs to cover both areas (approx. 15sqm). I have not seen the job, but if the boards are sound and have no deflection, then could the whole area be Ditra’d (new word)...

how many people do this ? I know what I do, however I have just had a customer on the phone telling me her other price will be going straight onto the chipboard with porcelain tiles. How many people out there believe that ditra is a magic mat that will solve all tiling issues with a rub of...

Any good deals on rolls of Ditra at the moment?

Good Afternoon Have just been to see an 86m2 floor which the buider has overboarded the newly chipboard floor with no more ply. Would anybody suggest Ditra which I often use on screeds or in theory the plywood shouldn't expand so no point in doing so. The floor is fine with no deflection...

Hi all, has anyone used Ditra heat matting ? If so whats the cost per role. Also has anyone contacted schluter to get the latest advice using ditra decoupling mat with an electric mat. Was told by them today that under certain situations an electric mat can be fixed ON TOP of the ditra mat. I...

Hi there 1st time poster - long time lurker so be gentle! I'm in a bit of a quandary and would be grateful for some advice. Currently have a new ground floor extension being completed (kitchen and bathroom) around 25 sqm in total. The kitchen part is 18mm ply (external I'm told but not sure)...

Good Evening All I have always used my plastering trowel when pressing the Ditra into the adhesive or even a hefty piece of timber pressing down and pushing outwards. Has anybody used these rollers where a pack of tiles weigh it down and there thoughts? Well built or fragile? Anybody knows who...

Good evening. Quick question if I may. I know it's probably been spoken about on many occasions on the forum so I apologise in advance. Went to a job the other day 30m2 of the parquet style tiles from porcelonosa. The existing flooring is being removed back to the original screed which I believe...

Hi guys. Got a job in 2 weeks which requires Ditra. builder has tampered floor quite hard so the floor is no way near flat enough for matting... What do we do in this instance guys? I personally would prime concrete slab, thin layer of SLC to flatten it out, then matt it.

Right then guys to cut a long story short I started tiling 15 years ago as an apprentice done the job for 4 years then fell very ill and left tiling completely last year I made me recovery and decided to go self-employed and I'm doing well a lot of my old tiling mates have started contacting...

just found this on internet and called to check if price correct .£ 5.14 per sq mt plus vat based on a 30 mm roll. best deal out there i think

Evening All Is Ditra fine to go over electric ufh where the wires are just covered by a slc by a millimetre. Just curious. Thanks. Kevin

Hi everyone. Am planning to tile out a new bathroom for the first time. The flooring is 22mm tongue and groove chipboard. I've read up a little but wanted to ask can i use the schluter ditra matting direct to the chipboard? Or am I better to lay some sort of ply onto the chipboard then tile onto...

I have been drooling over about 10 pages of the ''post your work'' thread and I am wondering when is it ok NOT to use Ditra when not laying UFH? Emaple 1: Concrete floor, I put down SLC... Can I then tile straight over? Eample 2: Floor boards (Stable), I then ply or thermo board... Can I then...
