This 120V DITRA-HEAT Kit contains everything you need to install a complete floor heating system:
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.
Cables easily snap into place wherever heat is desired, which significantly reduces installation time and effort. Since this eliminates any height differences, simply place self-leveler over the top for a perfectly level flooring installation.
The DUO membrane also 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.

DITRA-HEAT by Schluter-Systems integrates electric floor warming with the functions associated with DITRA: uncoupling, waterproofing, vapor management, and support to ensure a long-lasting installation under tile or stone floors.
All the benefits at a glance:
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. For complete installation guidelines and warranty criteria, please refer to the downloadable Instruction Manual (↖ linked above) or to the installation video online.
Note: Type, thickness, and format of the tile or stone surface covering must be at least 2" x 2" (5 cm x 5 cm).
