 Re: Large format stone on UFH timber suspended floor- a job for Ditra matting? | |
Ditra matting is extensively used in the USA and generally misused here as far as I can tell. It isn't a reinforcement in itself, so the floor would need reinforcing before you used it, 12mm ply or similar. Which in my mind negates the use of it altogether, I've yet to see the full benefit of this product.
I'd generally advise people not to fit tiles on a floating floor, it's not a question of it it will fail, just when.
How is the floor currently constrcuted? I assume you'll have a concrete base on which insulation is fitted - usually 50mm+ then a layer of T&G floorboards.
I'd remove all of this then get it screeded. |
