Hi ,
Am tiling an exterior terrace with Ditra and Kerdi Tape to act as both a decoupling membrane and a waterproof membrane.
The substrate is a solid concrete slab of an area 7.6m x 4m and I am using flexible cement based modified adhesive.
The concrete is already set with good falls away from the house for drainage and is nice and flat.
The fall is in the 4m dimension and 7.6 is the width of the terrace.
My question is : should I run the ditra across the 7.6m width so that the taped joints run parallel with the house or should I run the ditra with taped joints along the 4m direction in the direction of the fall.---- or does it make absolutely no difference.
On a you tube video it shows the ditra being laid on a small terrace parallel with the house rather than away from the house in one strip.
Hope this makes sense ?
Any advice appreciated.
