Uheat membrane and cable and tanking and moisture control...?

[Old Mod]

Please enclose a picture of how you waterproof ditra heat and which of the products you use I brought this up with them already

You just tape the joints as normal, over the cables, using Kerdi Coll adhesive. Their adhesive IS waterproof.

You only need to tape the joints for waterproofing,
and taping the joints for use on a green screed is not required unless a sensitive stone is being used.

Agreed which is the reason I replied considering he said it was waterproof Marc

ok, for us who haven't do the course how is it waterproofed?
see some YouTube videos what show it being used in wet room with joints not taped.

the only way I see it can be done is to put a waterproof jointing tape under the joint

education me please

Why?

 

[J Sid]

haven't you got wires running across the joints that need waterproofing?

 

[Old Mod]

Well taping the joints with Kerdi Keba & Coll is waterproof mate isn't it. In fact it'll be the only part of the UFH protected from moisture, the rest is just covered with tile adhesive cos unless you tank the Ditra Heat, it'll only stop water going thro the matting, and Ditra don't advocate latexing over it either.
Not that latex is waterproof, but if you tanked it, it would be.
And don't Impey suggest tanking before UFH, so I can't see difference really mate.
Or am I missing something?
And if you're using it for moisture equalisation, you don't need to tape the joints anyway, unless it's moisture sensitive stone.
