DITRA is an innovative, uncoupling membrane designed for tile installations. Its key features include:
-
Uncoupling Function: DITRA serves as a decoupling layer, preventing cracks in tiles and grout caused by movement in the substrate. This helps ensure a durable and long-lasting tiled surface.
-
Material: Made of polyethylene, DITRA features a grid structure of square cavities with an anchoring fleece laminated to the underside. This unique design allows for in-plane movement while maintaining stability.
-
Waterproofing: DITRA provides a waterproofing layer, making it suitable for wet areas. Any water that penetrates the tile covering is directed to the substrate and can escape at the seams, preserving the integrity of the installation.
-
Installation: The matting is easily installed over concrete or wood substrates using thin-set mortar. Tiles can then be directly applied over the DITRA layer.
-
Versatility: DITRA is suitable for various tile types and sizes, enhancing the flexibility and compatibility of tile installations.
