Note on movement joints:
Ditra must be seperated at the existing movement joints. If Ditra is used as a waterproofing layer, the joints between the sheets must be covered with Schluter -KERDI-FLEX band.
Movement joints must be continued in the tile covering, as specified by the applicable industry standards. In all other cases, large area floor assemblies installed over Ditra must be subdivided into smaller fields with the help of movement joints. The distance between such control joints in exterior applications (balconies and terraces) should not exeed 3metres.
Depending on the construction of the substrate, fiels sizes may need to be smaller. Install the corresponding profiles over expansion joints in accordance with the expected movements.
It must be assured that no tension can build at the edge of coverings, e.g. at the upright construction elements or floor/wall transition. The edge profiles and connective joints have to meet the requirements of the corresponding construction standards and must be suitable to prevent the build up of tension.
