For timber substrates we recommend using ardex af200 plus uncoupling matting adhesive this is a purpose made high performance adhesive for fixing fleece backed uncoupling membranes.
Ditra matting recommended adhesive.
Apply the adhesive using a 3 x 3 mm or 4 x 4 mm notched trowel.
Schluter ditra and ditra xl are specifically designed for ceramic and stone tile installations ditra and ditra xl provide uncoupling to prevent cracked tile and grout.
Individual courses of schlüter ditra 25 are cut to size.
Ardex af 200 has excellent wet grab and an exceptionally long tack time with very good early and long term adhesive strength and is odourless when dry.
Ardex af200 plus uncoupling matting adhesive is recommended for use with uncoupling membranes such as ardex ds 20 decoupling mat schluter ditra matting and dural durabase ci matting.
The anchoring fleece on the underside of schlüter ditra 25 must be fully engaged in the adhesive to provide a mechanical bond to the substrate.
Recommended by schluter for adhering schluter ditra mat to timber floors.
The adhesive must bond to the substrate and mechanically anchor the fleece on the underside of the schlüter ditra 25 matting.
Since ditra is impervious it does not deprive the mortar of its moisture.
Verify the compatibility of all materials prior to installation.
Made of polyethylene ditra and ditra xl serve as a waterproofing layer that protects moisture sensitive substrates such as plywood osb.
As an uncoupling system it is used on timber substrates such as wood based sheets and board where possible movement at board junctions could otherwise lead to the floor tiles cracking.
The substrate must be even and load bearing.
To bond schlüter ditra 25 use a bonding adhesive that is appropriate for the substrate.
It is also suitable for use with vario pro underfloor heating mat.
This allows the cement to properly hydrate resulting in a strong dense bond coat.
To bond schluter ditra matting use a bonding adhesive that is appropriate for the substrate.
Apply the bonding adhesive to the substrate using a 3 x 3 mm or 4 x 4 mm notched trowel.
In general we don t recommend the use of modified thin set mortar to set tile over the membranes because these mortars must air dry to cure properly.
Schluter ditra matting should be applied using a suitable matting adhesive such as ardex af200 plus matting adhesive with a 3mm or 4mm notched trowel.
