Schluter Ditra Matting Roll

Hi Walter No, you do not require ditra matting for laying porcelain paving slabs Kind Regards Walls and Floors

Hi Peter, The Hardiebacker and Ditra are used for different purposes so can't be directly compared. The Hardie is used to overboard wooden floors to make them more stable and reduce deflection (vertical movement). The Ditra Matting is used as a de-coupling membrane that would eliminate the effect of lateral movement only, which can be caused by expansion and shrinkage in the substrate. For underfloor heating installations, we also have the foam cored marmox boards (available seperately or as part of our wooden floor UFH kits) which will help stabalise the floor, create an insulation barrier to prevent heat loss, and can also decouple to a slight degree. Then whether you need an additional decoupler would depend on which tiles you are laying. Ceramic and porcelain should be fine without, but the additional layer of Ditra would be recommended with Natural Stone. https://www.wallsandfloors.co.uk/underfloor-tile-thermostat-accessories-marmox-insulation-board https://www.wallsandfloors.co.uk/underfloor-tile-heating/comfort-zone-underfloor-heating-kit-for-wooden-floors If you would like to discuss your project in more detail, please call our sales team on 01536 314730 and we will be more than happy to help you.
