would using a slc not be a quicker way to fill the cavities ? would there be any drawbacks using this method ?

I didn't think ditra was suitable for mosaics. Happy to be wrong though.

50mm minimum @MissTiler / Sharon says. She's the uber mosaic lass.

All mats in the style of Ditra are 50x50mm
Mats like Bal's Rapid Mat are suitable for mosaic.

As in smaller than 50mm?

Yes sorry.
The point loading of tiles smaller than 50x50mm is too high, resulting in the mats with similar profiles as Ditra to collapse.

what type of wet room tray are yer using

I would cover the whole floor including the tray with the ditra matting then tank the walls using kerdi membrain over lapping onto the ditra then if you want to tile straight away use tile masters 30 leveller and skim over the floor make sure you still have the slopes in the shower area. you should be able to have a guick sandwich and then your ready to tile I would use tilemasters anafix for fixing the matting and tilemasters ultimats for fixing the wall membrain and the tiles job done in a day? don't forget to cover the ditra joins with kerdi 100mm jointing

If ur waterproofing the floor with Ditra u must use 125mm Kerdi Band and use Kerdi Coll to stick it down, that will give u a waterproof seal. Tile adhesive is not good enough. If u haven't used Kerdi Coll before, be aware it sets in no time, it's super rapid!
