Schluter Ditra Mat XL Uncoupling Membrane & Waterproofing Roll

Schluter Ditra Mat XL Uncoupling Membrane & Waterproofing Roll

Polyethylene uncoupling membranes with a grid structure of square cutback cavities and an anchoring fleece laminated to the underside.

Features

• 3 ft. 3" x 53' 3" = 175 sq ft. (1 m x 16.25 m = 16.25 m
• Provide uncoupling through the open rib structure, 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
• In conjunction with tile coverings, forming an uncoupling, waterproofing, and vapor management layer while providing support load distribution
• The combination of these four essential functions allows for the successful installation of tile over a wide range of substrates, including plywood/OSB, concrete, gypsum, heated floors, etc
• 5/16" - (7 mm) thick allows even transitions between tile and 3/4" thick hardwood flooring
• For ceramic tile application over single-layer plywood/OSB subfloors on joists spaced up to 24" (610 mm) o.c
• DITRA allows for ceramic tile application over single-layer plywood or OSB subfloors on joists spaced up to 19.2" (488 mm)

Common Questions

What is the difference between DITRA and DITRA-XL?

Schluter-Ditra-XL provides the same four essential functions as Schluter-Ditra: uncoupling, waterproofing, vapor management, and support/load distribution. However, XL is 5/16-inch thick, whereas Ditra is 1/8-inch thick.

What are some of the primary characteristics of Schluter DITRA XL

The square-shaped cavities on the underside of DITRA XL allow for even load distribution across the tile covering. This feature is particularly beneficial when installing large-format tiles and stone. DITRA XL also comes in larger roll sizes, which can make the installation process more efficient
