Ditra rollers

[kaharrison9]

Good Evening All

I have always used my plastering trowel when pressing the Ditra into the adhesive or even a hefty piece of timber pressing down and pushing outwards.

Has anybody used these rollers where a pack of tiles weigh it down and there thoughts?
Well built or fragile?
Anybody knows who stock them? (intial look Karl Dahm and Schluter do one though not seen any uk stockists)

Trying to take the pressure off my knees and back.

Cheers

Kevin

Bri put a link up a while ago for a roller for Ditra, there was a video aswell & it certainly pushed the Ditra into the adhesive.

Yeah I got one from eBay, it's a Karndean/Amtico roller. Great quality, I'll find a link shortly. It was about £27 delivered from a flooring company.

I got a karndean roller for a job........then the job fell through. Still not used it. :mad2:

I just use a grout float. Don't really see the need for a karndean roller, unless you're sticking it down with that flooring glue (can't remember the name)!?!

Evening

Have looked around and am taking a punt on this Karl Dahm embedding roller.
£95.00 posted from Germany.
Impressed with there wash boys so confident it will be of top quality.
Like the idea of standing up and alternating the weight.

I know Schluter say the 40kg is the maximum weight on rolling out there ditra....

 

[kaharrison9]

Good to know that.

I would have thought 20gk would be suffice, weight of a bag of addy.

Soon tell when the roller arrives
