Ditra Is an Uncoupling Membrane for Ceramic tile(Use Unmodified Thinset) and can be laid right over Plywood,OSB,Existing Vinyl,Cracked Concrete substrates,and is waterproof so it is ideal for upstairs bathrooms. It is innovative in all ways except the required use of unmodified thinset.This is regressive to most tile setters since the introduction of Porcelian Tile, most manufactures require a modified thinset under porcelian. Scroll down if you are needing Ditra XL

We do offer two types of a less expensive alternative that can be installed with Modified Thinset that performed better than Ditra in the Robinson Test (TCNA) if the Ditra cannot not suit your needs. ProVa-Flex and Spiderweb are a Polypropylene Uncoupling( Use Modified Thinset) membrane

ProVa-Flex is a multi-functional polypropylene membrane used as an underlay for ceramic tiles and natural stone. It acts as an "uncoupling" membrane on all suitable substrates and as a water vapor pressure equalization membrane against dampness in the substrate. ProVa Flex protects against dampness in the substrate and is ready to tile immediately after installation.It is also Made in North America. This is designed to be used with Modified Thinset Scroll down the page to see an explanation between the two thinsets.

Schluter-DITRA-XL provides the same essential functions DITRA but is 5/16" (7 mm) The increased thickness allows for even transitions between typical ceramic tile and 3/4"hardwood flooring.

What is latex-modified thinset?





The ProVa- Flex is sandwiched between a white polypropylene non woven fabric on the underside to maximize bonding to the subfoor. It also has an interwoven polypropylene netting material (mesh) adhered to the top surface to provide mechanical bonding properties as well as enhancing the surface of contact with Modified mortars used.
ProVa-Flex forms an uncoupling, waterproofing, and vapor pressure equalization layer.
Designed for ceramic tile and dimension stone installations. The overlaying mesh provides a stronger bond than Ditra and does not require the purchase of Ditra XL ProvaFlex serves as an uncoupling layer for problematic substrates, a waterproofing membrane, and a vapor pressure equalization layer to accommodate moisture occurring at the underside of the substrate. To bond ProVa-Flex , use a Modified mortar that is appropriate for the substrate. Apply the Modified mortar using a 1/4" x 3/16" (6 mm x 4.5 mm) V-notched trowel. The anchoring polypropylene non woven fabric on the underside of ProVa-Flex must be fully engaged in the mortar to provide a mechanical bond to the substrate. Using the thin-bed method, set the tile covering directly on the ProvaFlex in such a way that the tile adhesive becomes mechanically anchored in the routered mesh covered cavities of the ProVa-Flex matting.
ProVa-Flex has a 25 year warranty The Life expectancy of ProVa-Flex will exceed 150 years.

Thank you Hugh for all of your help. Being able to consult with you on the phone was quite helpful. You are unusually patient and thorough in bringing homeowners, like me, through the process. The installation of the Schluter system went just as you predicted and the extra tips really made a difference. I'm coming back for more with our next accessible bathroom.

I really recommend everyone to deal to with you especially people from Canada. The Honest service, Price, promptness are really hard to find these days. The people behind Indiana Floors have all these qualities. I ordered the 3 rolls of Schluter Systems Ditra material and As promised I got the rolls in 2 business days. Very fast shipping and affordable shipping prices. Thanks a lot Hugh for saving me a good chunk of money. I really appreciate for your help,time and effort. Looking forward to deal with you again in near future. Thanks

Schluter-DITRA is a polyethylene membrane with a grid structure of square cavities, each cut back in a dovetail configuration, and an anchoring fleece laminated to its underside. Schluter-DITRA is bonded to the substrate using thin-set mortar. The anchoring fleece on the underside of Schluter-DITRA is fully engaged in the mortar to provide a mechanical bond to the substrate. Tile is installed over Schluter-DITRA using the thin-bed method in such a way that the mortar becomes mechanically anchored in the square, cutback cavities of the Schluter-DITRA matting.

Tile is installed over Schluter-DITRA-XL using the thin-bed method in such a way that the mortar becomes mechanically anchored in the square, cutback cavities of the Schluter-DITRA-XL matting. Designed specifically for ceramic tile and dimension stone installations, Schluter-DITRA-XL serves as an uncoupling layer, waterproofing membrane, and vapor management layer that accommodates moisture from beneath the tile covering. Further, DITRA-XL performs all these functions while still providing adequate support/load distribution for the tile covering.
