The Schluter-DITRA uncoupling membrane is specifically designed to allow the installation of ceramic and stone tile over any even and load bearing substrate. Watch this video to learn how quick and simple it is to install the Schluter®-DITRA membrane.Click to see full answer. Similarly, it is asked, can Ditra be used with porcelain tile?Since DITRA is impervious, it does not deprive the mortar of its moisture. Therefore, extended cure times would be required before grouting if using modified thin-set mortars between DITRA and ceramic tile, including porcelain tile.Additionally, can you grout the same day as laying tile? If the installer uses a rapid set thinset which is appropriate for the specific tile being installed, then grouting the same day is possible. Similarly, it is asked, can you self level over Ditra? ALL mat manufacturers say to level BEFORE putting the mat down, not just Schluter. Like I said we already level the plywood. Next step is installing ditra with heated floor. On top of ditra we’ll apply self leveling compound, let it dry completely so there is no issue trapping moisture between tiles and ditra.How long after laying Ditra can I tile?Once DITRA has been installed on the substrate, tile can be installed right away. No need to wait for the mortar to cure.
