Schluter-Systems Ditra Heat TB

 

Schluter-Systems’ Ditra-Heat-Duo is the first electric floor warming system with an integrated uncoupling and thermal break. The thin thermal break on the underside of the membrane allows the system to warm tiled floors up to 70% faster over concrete substrates by directing heat to the tile, not to the subfloor. The all-in-one system means faster and simpler installation as the uncoupling membrane, heating cables and thermal break are all combined in a single layer. The system has all of the same attributes as Ditra-Heat and the total assembly is only 5/16-inch-thick.
