Schluter ditra matting

[Ben howard]

Hi all,
Using original style Victorian tiles in a hallway,
Question is can I pre fill Ditra with adhesive then leave to set before tiling ??
My thinking is that with such small tiles where precision is needed a solid surface to spread on and lay would be better than filling and spreading at the same time.
Thoughts please.

As much as I like Schluter in this instance why don't you use a different sort of mat?

Not an approved fixing technique for Ditra in the UK

Cheers, I'll just fill as I go along

It does if the floor fails........

True.
But I've never had an issue with it before, just always used larger tiles than Victorian.

That is the whole point - it they are true victorian size tiles then the matting isn't sufficient.

Why have you put Ditra down anyway?
