## Overview

The Schluter Ditra 1/8" Underlayment is a 54 sq ft polyethylene uncoupling and waterproofing membrane designed for ceramic and stone tile installations. Its 3mm thickness offers minimal height buildup while its unique grid structure absorbs substrate movement and manages moisture vapor, preventing tile cracks and grout damage. Ideal for interior wet and dry areas, it supports heavy loads and foot traffic, ensuring long-lasting, professional-grade flooring solutions trusted by tile experts for over four decades.

## Description

Elevate the durability and integrity of your tile installations with the Schluter Ditra Uncoupling and Waterproofing Membrane. Specifically engineered for ceramic and stone tile applications, this membrane offers a revolutionary polyethylene construction that ensures both uncoupling and waterproofing. It stops the common issues of cracked tiles and grout by absorbing the differential movement stresses between the tile layer and the substrate beneath. Additionally, its vapor management capability allows excess moisture to escape. The membrane's column-like mortar structure within the grid cavities promotes excellent load distribution, making it ideal for areas subjected to heavy foot traffic or weight. At only 3.5mm (1/8") thick, it provides a minimal assembly height, reducing transitions to other surface coverings. This product is exclusively for interior use, providing a reliable and effective solution for both dry and wet areas. Founded over 40 years ago by a master tile setter, Schluter Systems pioneered innovative tile and bathroom waterproofing solutions, consistently setting industry benchmarks for quality and durability.

Review: I used KERDI-BAND to waterproof DITRA HEAT seams over 3/4" plywood 16" O.C. and floor-to-wall transitions in a bathroom (with KERDI FIX against the tub and around the closet flange, with a dab in the corners where the DITRA HEAT met the vertical surfaces). Been in place for a few months, and I am under the impression that it will STAY water-tight. Nice system. I was so impressed and had enough left over from the bathroom to tile the inside of the front entry (we live in snow country) and the guest/visitor closet adjacent to the entry and underlay the tile with regular DITRA seamed with KERDI-BAND. Again, fast and easy installation, and it prevent ceiling stains from snow melt if the grout ever cracks or separates.
Review: Just installed and seems to be working great. Fast delivery in remote location. Be prepared to look up the manual online as no instructions are included.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Can Schluter-DITRA be used as a sound control membrane?**
A: DITRA isn't a sound barrier but offers some sound attenuation. On a 6" concrete slab, it raised the IIC rating from 28 to 38, which doesn't meet typical codes. Additional sound measures, like underlayment and sound-rated ceilings, are required.

**Q: Is it required to waterproof Schluter-DITRA and Schluter-DITRA-XL?**
A: Waterproofing isn't required but prevents damage to moisture-sensitive materials. DITRA and DITRA-XL are easy to waterproof by sealing seams and connections with KERDI-BAND and thin-set mortar.

**Q: Can I use self-leveling compounds over Schluter-DITRA or Schluter-DITRA-XL?**
A: DITRA and DITRA-XL were designed and tested for thin-bed ceramic tile and natural stone applications. Any leveling of the subfloor must be done prior to the installation of the membrane.

*by W***R on 10 October 2022*

This stuff is great for DIY flooring.Just make sure you don't get carried away with the thinset underneath - it can lump up pretty easily - then you have to cut open the lumps, scrape and re-do the thinset (yeah, that was me - only two little lumps though...and they were easy to fix). You also need to work at getting the air bubbles out of the 'waffles' in the Ditra when you are putting down the tile. And definitely back-butter your tile. Best way to get 100% coverage and great adhesion. This stuff is thin enough that you don't have significant rises/step-ups when transitioning from other kinds of flooring. As for longevity? I had a pro installation about 5 years ago and the installer used this stuff - he was new to using it at the time. Did a beautiful job with porcelain tile in my entryway, which gets a lot of pretty heavy use. Iit has held up wonderfully. No cracks, no lippage....(well, he was a pro...)
