Ditra Heat E

[Lump]

New here as of today. BTW great forum!

I'm joining in from Wisconsin USA.

I am looking for a new product called Ditra Heat E it is not available here in the states.... yet.

Anyone know where I can buy Ditra Heat E? How much is it and how many meters/square feet are on a roll. Yes I am aware that shipping is going to be a killer.


I have a link to the product from Schluters German website but can not post it yet. I am guessing it is because I do not have enough posts.


Thank you in advance for help getting this product.

Hi Brad , it is a post count issue to prevent spamming


Not heard of that product at Schluter UK yet either..

I asked mod. to add the link for me. Looks like a sweet new product from Schluter that I would really like to get my mud covered hands on.

How's everybody's German?
I'm not too sure about that. Having the probe underneath the adhesive and matting has got to give a flakey reading surely!?! The end of the cable looks like it's sitting proud too, but doubt that'd be too hard to deal with.
The actual laying looks pretty simple though, providing you make sure the matting joins together perfectly when laying it down.

The probe reads the substrate , thus turning up or down the heat ... what difference would the matting make ?.. there is no thermal block in these types of matting.

The probe usually sits between the wires at the same level. It must make some difference if it's under a couple of mm of addy, and another couple of mm of plastic, although maybe it's negligable!?! It's a shame the matting isn't an insulator as well though. It'd be more use if it took the need for thermal boards out of the equation.

 

[DHTiling]

With it being a demo video and we are unsure how much insulation is in that screed / substrate then who knows ..

it is basically a system for electric heating as Schluter do the wet version as well.. and i bet it costs a canny fortune as well .

Oh, you know it won't be cheap...
I've used a similar concept with the wet heating. Much more of a pain to get the Polypipe to bend where you want it to though lol!
