also ditra not guaranteed if you have an adhesive bed over 10mm. you could havea 50 mm thick stone and 5 mm adhesive and thats ok !!!
20mm stone with 11mm bed no good!!
this is not the case with dural which is why i used it few years ago on specific job with 40mm antique stone up birmingham . they guarantte any bed thickness .
problem was the mat debonded from mesh .manufacture fault

is that for point loading issues Phil?

another common misunderstanding is that ditra is guaranteed on plywood over water heat pipes between joists. this used to be the case until about 18 months ago when schluter changed their stance on this

Interesting, is that including the squares being filled? Pretty sure you wouldn't tile a stone floor without a 10mm bed here and there.

Good point wingn .but I think it must refer to thickness of bed on top of highest point of ditra .

Why the need to use Ditra here? Have I missed something? Is heat involved?
Surely a physical movement joint between the different substrates is the belt and braces way?

Can't do any harm I suppose then. I just see Ditra used a lot where expansion and movement joints should be and where inadequate or no floor strengthening has been done.
It gets used as a "cover-all" solution sometimes.
A brilliant product - don't get me wrong, and I'd choose it over the poor-relation competitors anyday.
Example - I've seen a number of floors like this - 1/2 concrete 1/2 timber where the movement was so great even Ditra failed to cope.
A physical expansion joint was the only solution but as you say - customers won't go for it and if we insist, then the job goes to someone else!
