Ditra Matt and UFH heating in wet room

[rj1884]

Good evening all.
went to see and priced a job the other where the customer wants a wet room style floor with a shower former tiled and the tiles running out into the rest of the room. He also wants UFH in the main area in the room. I will be using the ditra Heat system and the floor tiles are marble. Ive only tiled 1 shower former before which went ok.

I'm after a bit of advise with regards the ditra Matt, I spoke to schluter technical who stated that they don't recommed fixing ditra to the shower former. My concern would be that as the tiles are marble and I would always use ditra with natural stone it may cause a problem if I don't do something to the former before tiling it. Has anyone used ditra or something similar on a shower former or would you do anything differently.

Many thanks

ricky.

If you look at the Schluter formers they come with kerdi already attached to them. Are you looking to have ufh on the former?

The client has purchased the former and no the UFH was just going in the outside area.
