Schluter-Ditra Uncoupling & Waterproofing Membrane

Ditra Uncoupling Membrane, 3 Feet 3 inch x 98 Feet 5 inch / 323 SF

• Provides uncoupling, waterproofing, vapor management, and heavy load distribution to ensure the durability and integrity of tile installations.
• Quick and easy to install on top of concrete, plywood, OSB, gypsum, existing vinyl floors, structural planks, sub-floors, and radiant heated floors.
• Convenient tile underlayment alternative to cement backer board or plywood.
• Use DITRA for ceramic tile installations over single layer plywood or OSB subfloors on joists spaced up to 19.2″ o.c.
• DITRA is only 1/8″ (3.5 mm)-thick to provide the thinnest possible assembly without sacrificing performance.
• DITRA features cutting grooves for precise cuts and air release vents at the corners of the cutback cavities for faster filling.

Schluter -DITRA is a polyethylene membrane with a grid structure of square cavities, each cut back in a dovetail configuration, and an anchoring fleece laminated to the underside. The anchoring fleece is embedded in thin-set mortar to provide a mechanical bond to the substrate. Tile is installed over DITRA using the thin-bed method in such a way that the mortar becomes mechanically anchored in the square, cutback cavities of the matting. Designed specifically for ceramic tile and dimension stone installations, DITRA serves as an uncoupling layer, waterproofing membrane, and vapor management layer that accommodates moisture from beneath the tile covering. Further, DITRA performs all these functions while still providing adequate support/load distribution for the tile covering. 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. 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). DITRA allows for ceramic tile application over single-layer plywood or OSB subfloors on joists spaced up to 19.2″ (488 mm) o.c.
