    Ditra or not...

The cost is spiralling for the customer however I thought in my head I would use ditra for 2 reasons, 1) aiding the moisture release and 2) uncoupling...

    another ditra question please

    I saw a video online about installing ditra, where they splashed the floor with some water (for both concrete and plywood substrates) to prevent water from being absorbed from the thinset and reducing the working time - I have never seen this done before on any other instructional video.

    Ditra on fermacell overlay.

    Fermacell recommend only using a thin bed of adhesive on the 25 mm overlay, but I'm about to tile a floor with 600 x 600 tiles.
