Insulation PLUS Peel & Stick - Schluter is the only Manufacturer to offer this premium combination!
The DUO membrane Roll is 108 Sq Ft and provides integrated sound control which reduces impact sound transmission through floor-ceiling assemblies, reduces heat loss to the substrate, and improves floor warming response time, making it ideal for multi-story homes, condos, and apartments.
Now installation is even easier without thin-set under the mat. To install, peel the release film off DITRA-HEAT-PS/-DUO-PS and place the membrane on the substrate. It can be lifted and re-positioned providing no pressure has been applied to it. However, once pressure has been applied the adhesive sticks the membrane firmly to the substrate. The heating cables can be installed immediately after adhering the membrane to the subfloor.
Reduced heat loss to the substrate for up to 70% faster heat-up times over concrete when your floor heating thermostat activates the heating cables in DUO.
All the benefits at a glance:
✔ Quick - No mixing and spreading mortar underneath - Immediately load bearing after installation
✔ Sound Control plus Thermal break insulation - the premium membrane in the industry
✔ Easy - Peel off the adhesive liner and set the membrane in place. Easily repositioned during installation until pressure is exerted on the top
✔ Great for small projects
✔ Waterproof if you seal the joints and edges with KERDI-Band - see note below
Waterproof your installation with KERDI-BAND (sold separately); cover all joints, seams, and corners of the membrane to completely waterproof the installation before applying thin-set and tile.
Note: The Schluter®-DITRA-HEAT-DUO-PS membrane does not comply with the requirements specified in ANSI A118.10 – American National Standard Specifications for Load Bearing, Bonded, Waterproof Membranes for Thin-set Ceramic Tile and Dimension Stone Installation. For applications requiring membrane compliance with or certification to the ANSI A118.10, select the DITRA-HEAT-DUO membrane that is installed with thin-set mortar. Alternatively, the DITRA-HEAT-DUO-PS membrane may be covered with the Schluter(R)-KERDI membrane, which is certified to meet ANSI A118.10.
All substrates must be clean, even, and load-bearing. Bond-inhibiting surfaces must be removed prior to the application of DITRA-HEAT-DUO-PS. For complete installation guidelines and warranty criteria, please refer to the downloadable Schluter®-DITRA-HEAT Installation Handbook or to the installation video online.
Note: The type, thickness, and format of the tile or stone surface covering must be suitable for the intended application. Minimum tile format is 2" x 2" (5 cm x 5 cm).
1. Remove the release liner from DITRA-HEAT-DUO-PS membrane.
2. Apply peel and stick membrane to the floor, fleece/adhesive side down. Solidly embed the matting into the substrate using a float, screed trowel, or DITRA-ROLLER. Proper installation results in full contact between the adhesive and substrate beneath.
* When using the DITRA-ROLLER, place a weight (e.g., bags of mortar/grout or box of tile) not to exceed 75 lbs on the DITRA-ROLLER shelf. Slowly move the roller from one end of the matting to the other, slightly overlapping successive passes.
3. Abut adjacent sheets and align the studs on the top of the matting to make subsequent heating cable installation easier.
4. The DITRA-HEAT-E-HK heating cables can now be installed. Installation instructions are covered under the DITRA-HEAT-E-HK product page. Note: Tile can be installed directly over the DITRA-HEAT membrane immediately after the DITRA-HEAT-E-HK cables have been installed using an unmodified thin set. Please refer to the Schluter®-DITRA-HEAT Installation Handbook below for complete DITRA-HEAT system instructions.
