4-in-1 Protection: Uncoupling, waterproofing, vapor management, and load distribution for long-lasting tile floors
Thin Profile: 1/8 in. (3.5 mm) thickness minimizes height transitions to adjacent flooring
Versatile Installation: Bonds over concrete, plywood/OSB, gypsum, existing vinyl, structural planks, and radiant-heated floors
Efficient Troweling & Filling: Cutback cavities with air-release corners speed mortar filling and installation
Pro-Preferred Alternative: Lightweight underlayment that replaces cement backer board in many applications
Cutting grooves for precise cuts; air-release vents at cavity corners for faster filling
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ):
Q: What subfloors can I install DITRA over? A: Concrete, plywood/OSB, gypsum, existing vinyl floors, structural planks, and radiant-heated floors, per Schluter guidelines.
Q: Is DITRA waterproof by itself? A: Yes—its polyethylene layer is waterproof; seal seams and edges per the handbook to create a continuous waterproof assembly.
Q: How thick is DITRA and will it change floor height? A: DITRA is 1/8 in. (3.5 mm) thick, helping minimize height transitions compared to other underlayments.
Q: Can I use DITRA with large-format or stone tile? A: Yes, but for greater movement accommodation or to match 3/4 in. hardwood transitions, Schluter recommends DITRA-XL (5/16 in.).
Q: Is it for interior or exterior use? A: DITRA and DITRA-XL are for interior applications, in dry or wet areas.
