Description
This all-in-one heating kit includes all the necessary components by Schluter Systems to build an efficient and seamless heated floor. This floor heating kit offers a reliable, durable, and energy-efficient way to enhance the comfort of any room. The DITRA-HEAT floor heating kit offers a system based solution for achieving warm, comfortable floors while providing exceptional insulation and excellent waterproofing features. The thermal break inherent in the membrane directs heat up into the tile rather than down into the subfloor, reducing energy waste and resulting in up to 70% faster floor heating when applied over concrete substrates. The extra insulation layer provided with the Duo model makes it particularly ideal for concrete floor applications.
Each membrane is specifically designed to integrate seamlessly with the DITRA-HEAT-E-HK floor heating cable. The kit includes two DITRA-HEAT temperature sensors, which provide accurate readings from the heated floor to the thermostat, ensuring precise temperature control. This innovative floor heating system is designed for use under various infloor tiles, vinyl plank, and laminate flooring, with options to extend warmth in kitchen, bedroom, bathtub surround, dining room, halls, entryways, balconies and other living areas. The Schluter DITRA-HEAT system’s advanced design makes it easy to install, providing a seamless and efficient floor heating solution that delivers consistent warmth and comfort. DITRA-HEAT kit is crafted for both residential and commercial applications.
Schluter Systems recommends using the appropriate thin-set mortar for installing the Ditra Heat Membrane based on the type of subfloor. For plywood or other porous subfloors, use Schluter ALL-SET® (a modified thin-set mortar), which provides the necessary bonding strength. For concrete subfloors, use Schluter SET® (an unmodified thin-set mortar) to ensure proper adhesion and performance of the Ditra Heat Membrane. Selecting the correct Schluter mortar is crucial for ensuring a strong bond between the membrane and the subfloor, leading to a durable and long-lasting tile installation that maximizes the membrane’s uncoupling and waterproofing properties. Schluter uncoupling membrane which provides uncoupling and crack isolation benefits may extend the life of tile, marble, and stone floors.
