-DITRA and Schluter

-DITRA-XL are polyethylene membranes with a grid structure of square cutback cavities and an
anchoring fleece laminated to the underside. In conjunction with tiled coverings, DITRA and DITRA-XL form 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.

-DITRA is 1/8” (3 mm) thick, which minimizes tile assembly thickness and reduces transitions to lower surface coverings (e.g.,
carpet, engineered wood, and vinyl). DITRA allows for ceramic tile application over single layer plywood or OSB subfloors on joists spaced
up to 19.2” (488 mm) o.c.

-KERDI-FIX is a sealing and bonding compound with a silane-modified polymer base which is used to seal penetrations
through the Schluter-KERDI waterproofing membrane. It is also used to bond the KERDI membrane to the stainless steel version of the
KERDI-DRAIN. KERDI-FIX is odor-neutral, UV- and weather-resistant, and contains no solvents. It is elastomeric and bonds well to most
materials, such as wood, stone, concrete, metal, glass, and many plastics.
