Schlüter-DITRA: Uncoupling, Waterproofing, and Vapor Management

Schlüter-DITRA is a polyethylene membrane designed specifically for ceramic tile and natural stone installations. Its unique features include:

Uncoupling Layer: The membrane's grid structure of square cavities, each cut back in a dovetail configuration, provides an effective uncoupling layer to neutralize stress between the substrate and tiles, preventing cracking and delamination.

Waterproofing: While not required, DITRA can be easily waterproofed by sealing seams and connections with KERDI-BAND and thin-set mortar, protecting moisture-sensitive materials.

Vapor Management: DITRA serves as a vapor management layer, accommodating moisture from beneath the tile covering.

Multi-Surface Compatibility: The membrane can be installed over a wide range of substrates, including plywood/OSB, concrete, gypsum, and heated floors, making it a versatile solution.

Installation Ease: DITRA features cutting grooves for precise adjustments and air release vents for quicker adhesive setting, facilitating an easier and faster tile installation process.

Thickness and Load Support: At 1/8" (3.5 mm) thick, DITRA minimizes tile assembly thickness while still providing adequate support and load distribution for the tile covering.
