Uncoupling (DITRA)
Schluter®-DITRA & DITRA-XL
Schluter®-DITRA and DITRA-XL are specifically designed for ceramic and stone tile installations. DITRA and DITRA-XL provide uncoupling to prevent cracked tile and grout. Made of polyethylene, DITRA and DITRA-XL serve as a waterproofing layer that protects moisture-sensitive substrates, such as plywood/OSB. Free-space on the underside of the matting provides a route for excess moisture and vapor to prevent damage to the tile layer above. DITRA and DITRA-XL perform all these functions while still providing adequate support/load distribution for the tile covering.

DITRA-PS brings the benefits of the original DITRA membrane—the multi-tasking underlayment that provides uncoupling, load distribution, waterproofing, and vapor management for durable tile installations—to a convenient peel and stick format. DITRA-PS features a pressure-sensitive adhesive (PSA) on the backside of the membrane, eliminating the need for thin-set mortar to install the membrane.
