Warm & protect your floor at the same time!
Schluter®-DITRA-HEAT-PS is a peel-and-stick membrane that features a pressure-sensitive adhesive (PSA) to bond the membrane to the substrate, eliminating the need for thin-set mortar. Quick and easy to install, DITRA-HEAT-PS integrates customizable, comfortable electric floor warming with the same functions associated with DITRA-HEAT: uncoupling, waterproofing*, vapor management, and load support to ensure a long-lasting tile installation.
DITRA-HEAT-PS combines the flexibility of loose heating cables with the ease of installation of mat systems. Cables can be placed wherever heat is desired, without creating height differences in the floor.
Cables can be snapped into place wherever heat is desired, which significantly reduces installation time and effort.
For optimal performance with difficult-to-bond-to substrates, use Schluter®-PRIMER-U or another suitable primer.
Tile directly over Ditra-Heat or pour self-leveler over the top to install alternate floor coverings like:
Membrane installation is even easier now without thin-set under the mat using Peel & Stick. To install, peel the release film off DITRA-HEAT-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.
This is the SHEET of Peel & Stick Ditra-Heat membrane; it is also available in Sheets and DUO, also with Peel and Stick adhesive.
All the benefits at a glance:
✔ Quick - No mixing and spreading mortar underneath - Immediately load bearing after installation
✔ 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
✔ Available in Sheets and Rolls
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.
Ensure substrates must be clean, even, and load-bearing. Bond-inhibiting surfaces must be removed prior to the application of DITRA-HEAT-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 the DITRA-HEAT-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.
