Exterior Installations
It is recommended that DITRA and
DITRA-XL be allowed to adapt to ambient
air temperature before installing. Further,
if low temperatures are expected during
installation, proper care to ensure sufficient
strength gain of the thin-set mortar must
be taken.

-
KERDI-LINE may be used to provide
drainage in DITRA or DITRA-XL
applications. DITRA or DITRA-XL are
sealed to the fleece-laminated KERDI-
DRAIN bonding flange with a section of
KERDI membrane using unmodified thin-
set mortar. KERDI-FIX is used to seal the
section of KERDI to the stainless steel
KERDI-DRAIN bonding flange.
The KERDI waterproofing collar on KERDI-
LINE is sealed to DITRA or DITRA-XL using
unmodified thin-set mortar.
Industry standard guidelines referencing
floor drains with integrated bonding
flanges include method B422 in
the TCNA Handbook for Ceramic,
Glass and Stone Tile Installation, and
method 326DR in the Terrazzo, Tile
and Marble Association of Canada
(TTMAC) Specification Guide 09 30 00 Tile
