Ditra laying methods

Best thing I ever bought, laying ditra far quicker with this.

Schluter recommend 2kg m2 to fix mat and 2kg m2 to fill voids, I still use a plasterers float to lay, can get good pressure with this. generally dont fill voids first as good to use up rapid set thats going off to fill voids as your tiling

Thats what I use, got mine off eBay for about £20

Most vinyl flooring / carpet wholesalers will stock these it's a vinyl floor and wall roller cost around £20. A lot less tiring than troweling the ditra/dural.

Got all the bits ready to make the Karl Dahm style upright roller now, will see how it performs. Should give good coverage with the bag of adhesive weighing the shaft down.

Schluter do say that the max weight for rolling onto the ditra which has a cement based adhesive to fix it down is 40kg......

 

[Peter]

20kg bag and a few kilos of pressure should be perfect then. :hurray:
