schluter-ditra is a polyethylene membrane with a grid stucture of square cavities, each cut back in a dovetail configuration,and on an anchoring fleece laminated to the underside.designed for tile and natural stone installations.
ditra serves as a water proofing membrane,a vapour pressure equalisation layer to accomodate moisture occuring at the underside of the substrate, and as an uncoupling layer for problematic substrates. HOPE THIS HELPS MATE!!.
