Schluter®-DITRA-XL Uncoupling and waterproofing membrane

  • SKU ditraxl175

Schluter®-DITRA-XL are specifically designed for ceramic and stone tile installations. DITRA-XL provide uncoupling to prevent cracked tile and grout. Made of polyethylene, DITRA-XL serve as a waterproofing layer that protects moisture-sensitive substrates, such as plywood/OSB. Free-space on the underside of the matting provides a route for excess moisture and vapor to prevent damage to the tile layer above. DITRA-XL perform all these functions while still providing adequate support/load distribution for the tile covering.

  • Provides uncoupling, waterproofing, vapor management, and heavy load distribution to ensure the durability and integrity of tile installations
  • DITRA-XL is 5/16” (7 mm)-thick to create an even transition between typical 5/16” (7 mm)-thick tile and 3/4” (19 mm)-thick hardwood flooring
  • DITRA-XL allows for ceramic tile application over single layer plywood/OSB subfloors on joists spaced at 24” (610 mm) o.c.
  • Can be installed on top of concrete, plywood, OSB, gypsum, existing vinyl floors, structural planks, sub-floors, and radiant heated floors
  • Features a grid structure of square cutback cavities and an anchoring fleece laminated to the underside which is bonded to the surface of the substrate and prevents thin-set from filling the cavities
  • Quick and easy to install; few tools required and ready to receive tile immediately
