Schlüter-DITRA-HEAT-DUO 0.78m2 Mat

DITRA-HEAT-DUO integrate customizable, comfortable electric floor warming with the functions of DITRA: uncoupling, waterproofing, vapor management and support to ensure a long lasting installation. DITRA-HEAT-DUO features an integrated thermal break to reduce impact sound transmission through floor-ceiling assemblies, reduce heat loss to the substrate, and improve floor warming response time.

DITRA-HEAT-DUO combine the flexibility of loose heating cables with the ease of installation of mat systems. Cables can be placed wherever heat is desired, without creating height differences in the floor. Self-leveling compounds are not required to encapsulate the cables, significantly reducing installation time and effort.

Controlling impact sound transmission through floor-ceiling assemblies in multi-story construction can present challenges, particularly when ceramic and stone tiles are used. Sound control materials tend to be compressible and not all provide adequate support for tile covering in thin-set applications. DITRA-HEAT-DUO reduces sound transmission, while supporting the covering to ensure a lasting installation.

Tile has been successfully installed for thousands of years by incorporating an uncoupling layer, or forgiving shear interface, within the tile assembly. DITRA-HEAT-DUO provide uncoupling through their 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.

DITRA-HEAT-DUO provide reliable waterproofing. Their polypropylene composition protects the substrate from moisture penetration, which is particularly important in today’s building environment where most substrates are moisture-sensitive
