Jul 22, 2015 · The cool thing about Ditra Heat is that if you find your first layout doesn't work, it's very quick to just pull up all the wire and re-lay it based on some of the variables above, if you don't just have too much like in this case. I would sure recommend switching to another brand of wire (Suntouch is my favorite).

Dec 2, 2022 · Placing a cut of ditra heat brings it flush nicely. I think I'd go with the second option myself. As for the reason all heat cable manufacturers want a second cable is because the cables can't be repaired inside a shower. Or I suppose more accurately the manufacturer won't perform or cover such a repair, nor warrant the cable after.

Feb 14, 2022 · Had a question regarding the right thinset to use over the Ditra Heat mat I will be laying down. I bought the only bag of Schluter All Set my local store had and also some Laticrete 254. I will have enough All Set to lay the mat, but not enough to fill the mat pockets and lay tile.

The DITRA-HEAT is a little different to install from DITRA because the (DITRA-HEAT) matting is a bit stiffer. That's why they (Schluter) recommend the larger 1/4" x 1/4" square-notched trowel. The fleece is a little different too, but they haven't seen it behave differently.

Feb 1, 2017 · Running the wire through the Ditra-Heat 'studs' (Schluter's name for the little knobs built into the Ditra-Heat mats) is a piece of cake and if you need to redo it 3 times (and you will!! LOL!), it is further a piece of cake to remove and reinstall until you get it right since you can't cut the heat cable and must use all of it.

Multiple DITRA-HEAT-E-HK heating cables over 16 amps cannot be connected to a single DITRA-HEAT-E-RS thermostat. Additional DITRA-HEAT-E-RS thermostats must be used or a control system comprised of relays and low voltage thermostats may be substituted (if the heating cables are in one room).

Oct 23, 2015 · We currently have 1/2" plywood subfloor (1963 home). We wanted to use Ditra in the hallway and Ditra Heat in the kitchen (using another brand thermostat and wires). Both these areas butt up to 3/4" original hardwood oak floors. According to Schluter, Ditra needs to be installed on top of a 5/8 exterior grade plywood subfloor.

Jan 20, 2015 · Hey Guys, newb here and I've got a real basic question. I need a to figure what the approximate thickness thinset would add to the finished height of ditra heat membrane (1/4") and 3/8" 12x12 porcelain tile.That includes the thinset above and below the ditra .The deflecto and subfoor are fine for this application so we dont need to go there.

Aug 28, 2016 · Ditra heat with Laticrete wire? I got a good deal on a mis-ordered Laticrete floor heat mat kit (3x5 mat, t-stat, wire eye). Read through all the install instructions and see that they require 1/2" of SLC to set the mat.
