1. Product instruction:
This uncoupling membrane is specifically designed to allow the installation of ceramic and stone tile over any even and load-bearing substrate and an underlayment for ceramic and stone tile.
The integration of this uncoupling, waterproofing, load-distribution, and vapor management functions makes consistent results viable.
2. Product Features:
A. Uncoupling
It provides uncoupling through its open rib structure, which allows for in-plane movement that effectively neutralizes the differential movement stresses between the substrate and the tile, thus eliminating the major cause of cracking and delaminating of the tiled surface.
B. Waterproofing
It provides reliable waterproofing in interior and exterior applications. Its polyethylene composition protects the substrate from moisture penetration, which is particularly important in today’s building environment where most substrates are moisture sensitive.
C. Vapor management
The distinguishing feature of this uncoupling membrane is the existence of free space created by the configured channels on the underside of the matting. The free space provides a route for excess moisture and vapor to escape from the substrate that could otherwise cause damage to the tile layer above. Thus, it effectively manages moisture beneath the tile covering.
D. Load-distribution
It is virtually incompressible within the tile assembly, the advantages of uncoupling are achieved without sacrificing point load distribution capabilities. The ability of membrane installations to support and distribute heavy loads while preserving the integrity of the tiles surface has been verified through extensive laboratory and field testing, including applications exposed to vehicular traffic.

5. Installation:
(1). Using a thin-set mortar that is a suitable for the subtrate, apply the thin-set mortar.
(2). Apply DITRA to the floor .fleece side down, solidly embed the matting into the bonding mortar using a floor or screed trowel.
(3). Lift up a corner of the matting to check coverage. Proper installation results in full contact between the fleece webbing and the thin-set mortar.
(4). Tile can be installed cover DITRA immediately :no need to wait for the mortar to cure. Fill the cut-back cavities with unmodified thin-set mortar and comb additional mortar over the matting using a trowel that is appropriate for the size of the tile . Solidly embed the tiles in the setting material. Periodically removed and check a tile to ensure that full coverage is being attained.
