DITRA-HEAT Advantages

• Electric floor warming system adds luxury to any room
• Uncoupling technology is directly incorporated into the system to protect tiles from breaking
• Heating zones are easily customizable using loose cable and studded mat
• Easy to install - No need for clips, fasteners, or leveling compounds; and, the cutting groves on the membrane guide the cutting knife
• Minimal assembly thickness allows easy transitions to lower surface coverings

UNCOUPLING

Ditra-Heat provides uncoupling through its geometric configuration, which allows for in-plane 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.

WATERPROOFING

Ditra-Heat provides reliable waterproofing.  Its polypropylene composition protects the substrate from moisture penetration, which is particularly important in today's building environment where most substrates - such as plywood and OSB - are moisture-sensitive.

VAPOR MANAGEMENT

The free space on the underside of Ditra-Heat provides a route for excess moisture and vapor to escape from the substrate that could otherwise cause damage to the tile covering above.  Thus, Ditra-Heat effectively manages moisture beneath the tile covering.

LOAD DISTRIBUTION

When placed on a solid foundation, column-like mortar structures are formed in and between the studs on the surface of the Ditra-Heat matting.  Loads are transferred from the tile covering through these column-like mortar structures to the substrate. 

Customizable Heating Zones

DITRA-HEAT membranes can be easily cut to the size and shape of a given room.  Simply place cables wherever heat is desired to achieve customized heating zones, or throughout the room to heat the entire floor.
