Hi
Looking for advice for decoupling membrane.
I have around 60m2 to tile with 20mm limestone tiles. Main room is 40m2 with expansion gap in mmiddle. I have put wet UFH and screeded with sand cement. Screed has been down and 10 weeks now and heating has been on full blast with no problems.
Concesus is I need a decoupling membrane from reading up. I was wanting some recommendations, I know Ditra has been around a while but are there any lesser known brands a bit cheaper or other decoupling solutions about and a good place to buy (I notice ebay has version)
I know it's a layer between the sub base and the tiles and the idea is to stop cracking, I know nothing else.

Thanks
Rob

Well I have found Dural Durabase CI++ Decoupling Membrane for an OK price on ebay so going for that.

I was going to use the mapei rapid set in white, I dont't think I need flexible adhesive do I? there will be some going in a small bathroom do you think I would need flexible in there?

Thanks

Durabase is what i have purchased and is around £14 s2. Selco had 5m2 at £54
Got mine from tops tile.

I use Ditra. A lot easier to lay than the mesh overlay mats. CTD are selling it for £225 for a 30mtr roll.

Thanks. If Ditra is easier and I can get it for that price I will go for that.
