Schluter DITRA Heat UNCOUPLING Membrane - DH512M

Vraiment génial. Cela facilite l’installation.

I had grout lines crack in bathroom in wooden house structure (even with using cement sheets). Bathroom floor was always cold too. So I learnt about this product and installed floor heating myself. Works well and I hope no more grout line cracks!!

What attracted me to the DITRA-HEAT system was that it gives a lower total Z-height when compared to traditional backer-board-plus-heating-mat solutions. This was important because I needed to match up with existing hardwood floors. As you can see from the photo, it worked absolutely perfectly to within a millimeter. I am an amateur at this, but there's plenty of great "how-to" resources both on Schluter's website and on Youtube. Routing the heating cable was a little tricky, having to pay attention to all the rules (3-stud spacing minimum, 7" from any floor registers, etc etc) but nothing too bad. Protip: when you lay the matting, you do need a roller of some sort to flatten and bed it into the thinset mortar. Schluter offer one, but for about 1/4 the price I picked up a hardwood roller from the local big box DIY store, intended for installation of vinyl flooring. Works perfectly. Also, be sure to have plenty of heavy objects to hand ready to press the membrane down while the thinset hardens! I used the boxes of tiles I subsequently installed. I now have a hallway and bathroom floor that are pleasantly warm underfoot. 10/10, will buy this again when I remodel the other bathroom!
