Ditra Heat Mat

Cables can be placed wherever heat is desired without creating height differences in the floor.

Ditra heat mat.

What you can do is run that mat everywhere but only heat the parts that you want. It is a universal substrate for tile coverings which serves as an uncoupling crack bridging waterproofing vapour pressure equalization layer and is designed to be used as a carrying membrane for the schluter ditra heat e hk heating cable. Leaving other conventional systems out in the cold schlüter ditra heat is the perfect all in one integrated solution for use under tiles and natural stone flooring. Schluter ditra heat matting is polyethylene membrane with a cut back stud structure and an anchoring fleece laminated on the underside.

Cables can be placed wherever heat is desired for customized heating zones and no leveling compounds are required which makes for a quick and easy installation. Ditra heat combines the flexibility of loose heating cables with the ease of installation of mat systems. Ditra heat provides uncoupling to neutralize shear stresses between the substrate and the tile covering to prevent cracked tile and grout. Simplify installation of both your heating system and tile floor.

Schlüter ditra heat has been developed offering unique electrical underfloor heating within the uncoupling matting layer system that eradicates sticky situations measuring mistakes and self levelling and primer layers. The dh5ma is an uncoupling and waterproofing membrane designed to secure ditra heat heating cable in place. It is a universal substrate for tile coverings which serves as an uncoupling crack bridging waterproofing vapour pressure equalization layer and is designed for the attachment of heating cables. Whether you use ditra xl 1 4 inch hardibacker or whatever is up to you.

Schluter s ditra heat combines radiant floor heat in an uncoupling membrane. Schluter ditra membranes provide uncoupling through free space which allows for in plane movement that effectively neutralizes the differential movement stresses between the substrate and the tile thus eliminating the major cause of cracking and delaminating of the tiled surface. Ditra heat mat is about 1 4 inch thick. Alternatively you could use ditra heat mat only where you want to heat but i would recommend another similar height tile underlayment to use with it.

Self leveling compounds are not required to encapsulate the cables significantly reducing installation time and effort.
