Ditra Mat On Concrete Slab

A seasoned floor that never sees moisture you could skip the ditra.

Ditra mat on concrete slab.

Megabond from lowes or kerabond are good un modified thin sets. Its primary function is to help neutralize stresses in movement between the substrate in my case the subfloor but it can also work with osb or plywood and the tile. This will reduce heat loss to the concrete substrate and improve the floor warming response time. The schluter ditra uncoupling membrane is specifically designed to allow the installation of ceramic and stone tile over any even and load bearing substrate.

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. We recommend using schluter ditra heat duo uncoupling membrane. Ditra is 1 8 3 mm thick which minimizes tile assembly thickness and reduces transitions to lower surface coverings e g carpet engineered wood and vinyl. Again i think this is a bad idea.

The ditra heat duo offers the same functions as the schluter ditra heat membrane but also features an integrated thermal break in the form of a thicker bonding fleece. Ditra is good for new concrete. Don t install tile the same day over the ditra heat mat schluter says this is ok.
