Use of schluter ditra over hydronic radiant heat wmelick the underside of the floor is not exposed.

Ditra over floor heating.

The combination of these four essential functions allows for the successful installation of tile over a wide range of substrates including plywood osb concrete gypsum heated floors etc. Combines radiant floor heating with ditra heat uncoupling technology to prevent tile and grout cracking and quicker easier positioning of loose heat cable. Uncoupling refers to the act of preventing any movement and stress that occurs in the subfloor from transferring through to the tile above thus preventing cracked tiles and grout. Ditra heat is the only electric floor warming system that directly incorporates uncoupling technology to ensure that floors aren t susceptible to cracked tiles and grout.

Ditra heat duo also features an integrated thermal break that provides up to 70 faster warm up times over concrete substrates. Ditra is 1 8 3 mm thick which minimizes tile assembly thickness and reduces transitions to lower surface coverings e g carpet engineered wood and vinyl. Uncoupling waterproofing vapor management and support to ensure a long lasting installation. I wanted to use hydronic heat as we were not after just a warm floor but rather needed to heat the room also.

The stud structure of ditra heat is specifically designed to allow for the easy installation of ditra heat e hk heating cables. The schluter ditra heat e kit is an all inclusive package containing the ditra heat uncoupling membrane ditra heat e hk heating cable and either a ditra heat e rt touchscreen programmable thermostat or a ditra heat e wifi programmable thermostat. Cables can be placed wherever heat is desired for customized heating zones and no leveling compounds are required which makes for a quick and easy installation. Ditra heat is the only system that provides floor warming and uncoupling in a single layer.

There is also a ton of plumbing to have to work around.
