What is DITRAHEAT?

SchluterDITRAHEAT is a complete radiant heating solution. It integrates customizable DITRAHEATEHK heating cablesand an uncoupling underlayment mat. The DITRA mat uncouples the tile from the wood subfloor and can also be waterproofed. According to Schluter,DITRAHEAT provides uncoupling through its geometric configuration, which allows for inplane movement that effectively neutralizes the differential movement stresses between the substrate and the tile, thus eliminating the major cause of cracking and delaminating of the tiled surface.The DITRA mats have “wire stud” like structures evenly spaced. These studs are designed to allow for the easy installation of DITRAHEATEHK heating cables. Additionally, once installed, you do not need to cover the heating cables with thin set or selfleveling compound, significantly reducing installation time and effort.This allows you to be able to walk on the cables, and even tile over them immediately after installation.Custom Placed HeatI like the DITRAHEAT system because it provides protection from tile cracking [uncoupling] and the flexibility to install the heating cables with wherever heat is desired.
