Review: so much easier than cement board... - This stuff is great for DIY flooring.Just make sure you don't get carried away with the thinset underneath - it can lump up pretty easily - then you have to cut open the lumps, scrape and re-do the thinset (yeah, that was me - only two little lumps though...and they were easy to fix). You also need to work at getting the air bubbles out of the 'waffles' in the Ditra when you are putting down the tile. And definitely back-butter your tile. Best way to get 100% coverage and great adhesion. This stuff is thin enough that you don't have significant rises/step-ups when transitioning from other kinds of flooring. As for longevity? I had a pro installation about 5 years ago and the installer used this stuff - he was new to using it at the time. Did a beautiful job with porcelain tile in my entryway, which gets a lot of pretty heavy use. Iit has held up wonderfully. No cracks, no lippage....(well, he was a pro...)
Review: Easy to Use - Waterproofs - This membrane is easy to cut to size and retains its shape. It is effective in "uncoupling" your tile from the subflooring. Plan your layout before installing to minimize cuts and the number of pieces used.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Can Schluter-DITRA be used as a sound control membrane?**
A: DITRA isn't a sound barrier but offers some sound attenuation. On a 6" concrete slab, it raised the IIC rating from 28 to 38, which doesn't meet typical codes. Additional sound measures, like underlayment and sound-rated ceilings, are required.

**Q: Is it required to waterproof Schluter-DITRA and Schluter-DITRA-XL?**
A: Waterproofing isn't required but prevents damage to moisture-sensitive materials. DITRA and DITRA-XL are easy to waterproof by sealing seams and connections with KERDI-BAND and thin-set mortar.

**Q: Can I use self-leveling compounds over Schluter-DITRA or Schluter-DITRA-XL?**
A: DITRA and DITRA-XL were designed and tested for thin-bed ceramic tile and natural stone applications. Any leveling of the subfloor must be done prior to the installation of the membrane.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Durable and strong for waterproofing
*by D***. on April 27, 2025*

This membrane was easy to install for waterproofing my bathroom floor prior to installing the ceramic tile in my older house. The thickness was adequate for my needs and makes it seems quite durable. I also plan to use it when I retile the kitchen floor later this year.
