The distinguishing feature of ditra is the existence of free space created by the configured channels on the underside of the matting.
Thickness ditra matting.
So it looks like i ve got 3 4 in which i need to fit the ditra tile and thinset.
Self leveling compounds are not required to encapsulate the cables into the membrane.
Subtracting the tile and ditra thickness leaves me with 3 8 left for thinset.
Ditra is 3mm thick and goes on probs 1mm adhesive bed.
Thus ditra effectively manages moisture beneath the tile.
The minimum height that my new dishwasher can be adjusted to is 33 3 4 and the cabinet height is 34 1 2.
And then tiles will bed on a solid bed of say 3mm to 4mm as long as the screed is flat there is no need to build up any higher.
It serves as an uncoupling layer for problematic surfaces crack bridging and a waterproofing membrane.
Ditra matting and tile help the unmodified thin set retain more of its moisture as it cures and this creates a stronger bond than modified thin set can achieve.
Ditra membrane is available in two thicknesses 1 8 and 5 16.
For the builder to finish 30 to 45 mm low is a bit ott to make up with adhesive and tiles.
The thickness of the tile assembly is minimized by using ditra which is only 1 8 in.
Ditra matting is only 3 5mm thick providing the thinnest possible assembly without sacrificing performance making it a universal substrate for tile covering.

In addition ditra underfloor matting also serves as a water vapour pressure.
Ditra xl is 5 16 7 mm thick to create an even transition between typical 5 16 7 mm thick tile and 3 4 19 mm thick hardwood flooring ditra xl allows for ceramic tile application over single layer plywood osb subfloors on joists spaced at 24 610 mm o c.
From what i understand ditra is about 1 8 thick.
X 3 mm felt cushion underlayment roll for engineered wood and laminate flooring.
Ditra xl is the same thickness and is probably a little bit less expensive than ditra heat duo running regular ditra heat mat not duo in the non heated section.
The free space provides a route for excess moisture and vapor to escape from the substrate that could otherwise cause damage to the tile layer above.
Nominal 1 4 5 5 mm thickness minimizes tile assembly thickness and reduces transitions to lower surface coverings.
In conjunction with tiled coverings schlüter ditra 25 forms an uncoupling waterproofing and vapour pressure equalisation layer.
Schlüter ditra 25 is a polyethylene mat with square dovetailed recesses and an anchoring fleece laminated to the underside.
This is probably the most impractical of these three options.
