Ditra Tile Matting

Thus ditra effectively manages moisture beneath the tile covering.

Ditra tile matting.

The free space provides an escape route for excess moisture and vapor that could otherwise cause damage to the tile layer above. Ditra matting is a polyethylene membrane with an anchoring fleece laminated to its underside. The distinguishing feature of ditra is the existence of free space created by the configured channels on the underside of the matting. Ditra is an uncoupling membrane designed for ceramic and stone tile installations on floors.

Tile is installed over ditra using the thin bed method in such a way that the mortar becomes mechanically anchored in the square cutback cavities of the matting. Designed specifically for ceramic tile and dimension stone installations ditra serves as an uncoupling layer waterproofing membrane and vapor management layer that accommodates. Ditra matting is particularly useful when installing underfloor heating and provides a decoupling layer between the underfloor heating and the tiles. It is made of polyethylene creating a waterproofing layer protecting the substrate.

The substrate must be even and load bearing. Ditra can be installed over a variety of subfloors including concrete plywood osb and radiant heated floors. What is ditra matting. The matting has a grid structure of square cavities which are each cut back in a.

Schluter ditra matting is designed for tile and natural stone installations and serves as a waterproofing membrane a vapour pressure equalisation layer to accommodate moisture occurring at the underside of the substrate and an uncoupling layer for problematic substrates.
