Schluter Territory Managers and Field (Technical) Representatives get asked on a regular basis to look at plans and determine which DITRA-Heat components will be needed to complete a project.  While we are happy to provide educational training, we simply don't have enough time to walk through every request. More-over, there is information we won't readily have at our time of need - and we are removed from the end user usually by a few parties.  Thus Schluter created a very helpful online estimating tool that will walk anyone through the series of questions and ultimately yield the SKUs needed for a successful install. You can access the DITRA-Heat Online Estimator here . We would be happy to review the results of the estimator with you to see if any adjustments may need to be considered.

Shade & Texture Variation due to Raw Materials & Manufacturing Processes Similar to tile and stone, profiles are also affected by raw materials and manufacturing processes in that shades/finishes and textures may vary from batch to batch. This following statement can be found in the following Technical Data Sheets (TDS): Floor Profiles Movement Joints and Cove Shaped Profiles Stair Nosing Profiles Wall and Countertop Profiles “Due to variations in raw materials and manufacturing, the exact color, shade, and/or texture of individual profiles and related components (e.g., corners, end caps, connectors, etc.) may vary. The customer must inspect the products upon delivery and notify Schluter in writing of any physical damage to the products or nonconformity with the purchase order or invoice.” Distributors should check profiles at time of receiving. Customers should also check profiles at time of purchase/will call AND prior to installtion.
