Schluter -DITRA-HEAT ® Warmth, beauty, and resilience underfoot Ceramic and stone tiles are ideal surface coverings because they are durable, hygienic, and easy to maintain. However, two common concerns with tile are that they are prone to cracking and can be cold to the touch. The DITRA-HEAT electric floor warming system incorporates uncoupling technology that prevents tiles from cracking, along with loose heating cables that allow you to add heat wherever desired.
Sound Control + Thermal Break Only 5/16" (8mm) -thick, DITRA-HEAT-DUO provides the thinnest possible assembly without sacrificing performance.
Schluter -DITRA-HEAT-DUO ® Sound Control + Thermal Break Schluter -DITRA-HEAT-DUO is an uncoupling and waterproofing membrane with an integrated bonding fleece that provides sound control. Optionally, the system can be customized with floor heating cables to create a warm, luxurious tile floor. ® This versatility makes the system an ideal solution for ceramic and stone tile floor installations in many applications, such as multi-story residential construction, hotel guest rooms, and many more.
Choosing the ideal DITRA-HEAT membrane Both DITRA-HEAT and DITRA-HEAT-DUO provide floor warming along with the benefits of uncoupling, waterproofing, vapor management, and support for a long lasting installation over virtually any substrate.

Schluter -DITRA-HEAT / DITRA-HEAT-DUO ® For alternative floor coverings DITRA-HEAT is suitable for applications with vinyl, LVT, LVP, WPC, SPC tiles and planks, engineered wood, and laminate flooring. Verify with the floor covering manufacturer that the selected product is suitable for radiant floor warming applications. Refer to the AFC Bulletin on Schluter.com.
Components DITRA-HEAT Membranes Available in both mat and roll formats, the DITRA-HEAT membranes are designed to secure the system heating cables in place while serving as universal substrates for tile coverings. Similar to DITRA, the original uncoupling membrane, DITRA-HEAT and DITRAHEAT-DUO neutralize the differential movement stresses between the substrate and the tile covering to prevent cracked grout and tile while also providing effective waterproofing, vapor management, and load support.
Thermostats and Power Module RT There are three thermostat options to choose from: programmable touchscreen (RT), programmable touchscreen with Wi-Fi capability (WiFi), and digital nonprogrammable (R). All thermostats support both the 120 and 240 Volt cables and feature a built-in Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) of the Class A type. R Wi-Fi RR *A floor temperature sensor is provided with both the thermostat and the heating cable.
Installation Overview 2 1 3 stud spacing Alternating 3 stud - 2 stud spacing Using a thin set mortar appropriate for your sub-floor, apply DITRA-HEAT or DITRA-HEAT-DUO to the floor, fleece side down. Embed the heating cables between studs, at a spacing of 3 studs or at a continuously alternating 3 stud - 2 stud sequence, depending on your application and floor covering. For details, see the DITRA-HEAT Installation Handbook in the Floor Warming section at www.schluter.com.
DITRA-HEAT Estimator Tool Estimator Tool Helps with DITRA-HEAT Project Planning Available on both Schluter.com and on the Schluter -App, the DITRA-HEAT Estimator asks a series of questions to help determine which DITRA-HEAT products are needed to complete any Schluter heated tile project. ® Tailor the DITRA-HEAT product requirements by refining some of the project specifications, like subfloor and flooring materials, areas to be heated, and even drain types for shower applications.
We stand behind our products. Membrane + Cables = System Warranty! DITRA-HEAT is a complete system involving components that are designed to work together. As such, DITRA-HEAT-E-HK cables must be used in conjunction with the DITRA-HEAT membrane to benefit from the full system warranty.
