Schluter Ditra Heat Duo 3′ 3″ x 33′ Membrane Roll
An uncoupling and waterproofing membrane with an integrated bonding fleece that provides sound control and a thermal break. These rolls cover large areas when installing floor heating cables to create a warm, luxurious tile floor.
Features
- Provides electric floor warming for use beneath tile, stone, or other resilient floor coverings (e.g., LVT)
- Reduces impact sound transmission through floor-ceiling assemblies, making it ideal for multi-story construction
- Reduces heat loss to the substrate for up to 70% faster heat-up times over concrete during temperature increase demands
- Nominal 5/16″ (8mm) thickness minimizes tile assembly thickness and reduces transitions to lower surface coverings
- Self-leveling compounds are not required to encapsulate the cables into the membranes
- The stud structure of DITRA-HEAT-DUO is specifically designed to allow for the easy installation of DITRA-HEAT-E-HK heating cables
- Quick and easy to install, and few tools are required
- Patent pending
Common Questions
What are the spacing requirements for DITRA-heat?
Standard cable spacing between runs is 3 studs. However, the cable may also be spaced continuously at 3 – 2 stud intervals in isolated areas or over the floor.
Does DITRA prevent tile from cracking?
The rib structure allows for in-plane movement that effectively neutralizes the differential movement stresses between the substrate and the tile, thus eliminating the primary cause of cracking and delaminating of the tiled surface.
