⚠️ Important DITRA HEAT Installation Points ⚠️

Image
PLANNING ⚠️ DITRA-HEAT is not for exterior applications.  ⚠️ DITRA-HEAT is not designed as primary heat source.  For more information on using DITRA-HEAT as primary heat, click here . For access to the DITRA-HEAT Online Estimator, click here . Select DITRA-HEAT and DITRA-HEAT-DUO membrane according to the size of the area to be tiled. Use DUO for assemblies over concrete subfloors. Though not required, it is recommended as it will improve the performance of the floor by preventing the concrete for competing for the heat. The maximum level of thermal insulation under the subfloor to which DITRA-HEAT can be installed is R20 (or Rsi 3.5). For the applicable heating cable spacing for your application, see the Spacing Details section in the Warnings section (pages 20-21). For buffer zone planning see the Warnings section (page 20-21) under Spacing Details. When measuring the area to be heated, be sure to measure accurately. The heating cable CANNOT be cut to fit. See the Spacin...

Installation of Glass Tile over a Sealed Shower System

Image
The Schluter-Shower System is a waterproofing system for showers, steam showers and tub surrounds. It is used to create a waterproof and vapor tight enclosure prior to setting the tile. If the KERDI is installed properly (i.e., Schluter ALL-Set/Schluter SET or non-Schluter branded unmodified thinset thin-set mortar with 2" overlaps, etc.) in conjunction with the KERDI-DRAIN, KERDI-LINE and VARIO, then Schluter Systems will guarantee a waterproof and vapor tight enclosure.  However, Schluter-Systems cannot guarantee the performance of the glass tile over KERDI. The KERDI membrane features a fleece webbing that will accept a bond to Schluter modified and non-modified mortars, and any commercially available premium grade non-modified thin-set mortars used to install tile. Furthermore, we recommend relatively stable backings for KERDI in our Handbook to promote successful tile installations. We know that ceramic, porcelain, and stone tiles can be bonded with ANSI A118.1 unmodified ...
