The stud structure of ditra heat is specifically designed to allow for the easy installation of ditra heat e hk heating cables.
Ditra over floor heating.
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.
Ditra heat is the only system that provides floor warming and uncoupling in a single layer.
There is also a ton of plumbing to have to work around.
Uncoupling refers to the act of preventing any movement and stress that occurs in the subfloor from transferring through to the tile above thus preventing cracked tiles and grout.
Doing so would create projects in three other rooms below the bathroom.
It comes with the following features and benefits.
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.
Combines radiant floor heating with ditra heat uncoupling technology to prevent tile and grout cracking and quicker easier positioning of loose heat cable.
I wanted to use hydronic heat as we were not after just a warm floor but rather needed to heat the room also.
Ditra heat is the only electric floor warming system that directly incorporates uncoupling technology to ensure that floors aren t susceptible to cracked tiles and grout.
Ditra heat duo also features an integrated thermal break that provides up to 70 faster warm up times over concrete substrates.
The schluter ditra heat e kit is an all inclusive package containing the ditra heat uncoupling membrane ditra heat e hk heating cable and either a ditra heat e rt touchscreen programmable thermostat or a ditra heat e wifi programmable thermostat.
Use of schluter ditra over hydronic radiant heat wmelick the underside of the floor is not exposed.
