I know there has been some discussion on here lately about these systems such as the Tuscan, but has anyone yet used them?
I have a customer who wants a truly perfect floor and is prepared to pay the extra if it works.

Thanks

Ok let’s have a little clearing of the decks as regards Durabase CI mat and Schluter Ditra mat.
Durabase CI and Ditra are membranes manufactured to lie between tiles and floor to absorb lateral movement. In simple terms if either of these membranes is installed and the floor beneath moves by...
