Ditra For Floors

It is made of polyethylene creating a waterproofing layer protecting the substrate.

Ditra for floors.

Floors with radiant heat. It provides uncoupling to prevent cracked tile and grout. Heat causes materials to expand and they shrink again when they cool. It provides uncoupling to prevent cracked tile and grout.

Ditra is an uncoupling membrane designed for ceramic and stone tile installations on floors. Schluter ditra underlayment is an uncoupling membrane that allows the tile floor to move in plane relative to the substrate eliminating the major causes for cracked and delaminated tile. The practice of decoupling has been performed for thousands of years by using a layer of sand under stone floors. Ditra can be installed over a variety of subfloors including concrete plywood osb and radiant heated floors.

Uncoupling waterproofing vapor management and support to ensure a long lasting installation. However today s lightweight construction methods can make the installation of hard surface coverings particularly challenging. That movement will cause tile cracks without a layer of motion absorbing material such as ditra. Ditra is the easiest way to waterproof your floor and prevent tile grout from cracking.

It is made of polyethylene creating a waterproofing layer protecting the substrate. Ditra is an excellent choice for use in any application where radiant heating is installed in the floor. Ditra is a polyethylene uncoupling underlayment with a grid ditra is an uncoupling membrane designed for ceramic and stone tile installations on floors. Ceramic and stone tiles are durable easy to maintain and hygienic representing the ideal surface coverings.

The combination of these four essential functions allows for the successful installation of tile over a wide range of substrates including plywood osb concrete gypsum heated floors etc. Ditra was invented by schluter systems back in 1987 and is used extensively in commercial and residential tile installations. Ditra will forever change the way you lay tile.
