ditra

I have been using the isomat from trimline since PCI pulled out of uk and could not get pecilastic any more for certain jobs. pecilastic was supposed to do the same job as ditra and both being German from recognised manufacturers I had no reason to think that one would be any better than the...

I have a contract starting in a couple of weeks, and got a phone call today. The architect wants us to put Ditra on the walls!!! (bath and shower rooms). I went a bit nuttso, and have a meeting there on Monday. Has anyone of you ever been asked to do this? and if so what happened? Cheers Lynn

Hi all,I know this has been asked but here goes.i am currently fitting a large kitchen floor(30m2) with ufh then ditra.i have time and height issues with the job and am asking whether there is a problem if I laid the ditra directly over the ufh without slc.i know this isn't normal procedure but...

Have a kitchen / dinning room floor job, concrete floor. Where archway meets in the middle of the room there is a crack along the whole length from side to side, it's a very faint crack so would I need to ditra over the whole concrete floor as the customer insists on not having a movement joint...

Just been to load the van up for the month and CTD have Ditra 30m rolls for £215.94 (inclusive of VAT) I'm pretty sure that's the cheapest in the country. Just incase anyone needs any in the near future.

£9,495 for 30 m2? Really????

I'm having a total blank here and the schluter website isn't very conclusive. Can ditra be fixed directly to 22mm deflection free chipboard?

Quick survey please guys. 100m2 of glazed 60x60 porcs onto 1:4 S&C screed continuing through the house to concrete floors possibly needing SLC. 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...

Hello all. just a quick question. If you were laying underfloor heating would you always use Ditra Matt or similar after Self levelling or would you only use it when using particular tiles. The substrate is half original floorboards and newly laid chipboard which has already been laid prior to...

hello all, was thinking of recommending the new ditra wired ufh matting to a client soon, for a project im starting at the end of the month/early nov, and thought id check here to see if anyone has used it, and how they found it. from the video it looks fantastic, but thought people here may be...

What's the going rate for laying Ditra? If there is such a thing!?! Customer is supplying matts, so it's labour only for 165m2.. cheers Scott

i have been in touch with schluter yesterday regarding a terrace and a path i have to tile. new screed over old base for terrace and new concrete for garden path. i was only calling schluter to check that their stance on concrete and screed drying times before overlaying with ditra was still...

Hi Guys , Anyone used Butechs version Ditra - sorry don't know what it's called - and in particular on a floating floor system called 'Fibrefon 28 screedboard'. Cheers Diggy

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. I can...

I intend to tile the floors of an extension and existing kitchen area with calibrated slate tiles. The existing floor area is a suspended chipboard floor which I need to pull up and re-install as it sloping and does not align with the concrete floor which was laid about 8 months ago. I will...

Ok, here's the job thanks to tips from other posts. - rip up floorboards - lay 18mm wbp ply over joists - marmox 10mm - elec ufh - slc - tile the question is should I use ditra matting or doesn't this really matter? Any other tips welcome!

gracias

I have just looked at a job where the customer has a solid floor, wants u/f heating and limestone or travertine tiles. I was going to lay insulation boards, then Ditra followed by heating (self levelling) then tile. Would this be acceptable or overkill, as floor is solid. I've read that some...
