Ditra on Walls?

[Pebbs]

I have a contract starting in a couple of weeks, and got a phone call today. The architect wants us to put Ditra on the walls!!! (bath and shower rooms). I went a bit nuttso, and have a meeting there on Monday. Has anyone of you ever been asked to do this? and if so what happened?

Cheers

I am sure I remember someone else saying this, years ago though.

Hi Lynn, I have never used Ditra mat on walls, but have used the Schluter tanking membrane plenty of times.

I'm guessing he's thinking of tanking...

No seriously the architect wants ditra on the walls! I raised it as a query a few weeks ago, and got the phone call today, definately they want ditra on the walls, thats when I had a rant.

I'd rather have woodchip than Ditra on my walls

What's his reasoning for wanting it? Waterproofing?

Said they do it in Germany!

This is England....full stop end of story.

If you watch Holmes on Homes on Sky I'm sure he puts it on walls in shower rooms

Ask him why they do it in Germany ? never heard of or done it here.
