Got into a bathroom, builders done the prep and the floor is well out of level, high point in the middle running out to the edges. So can you slc the ditra? Or will it produce a cold joint and defeat the object?

before the ditra imo, although if I remember correctly, schluter say that it can be done either way.
Ditra is already down courtesy of the builder. hate not getting to do my own prep



SLC over the top is fine as long as the SLC is suitable![]()

Yeah I'd rather SLC then ditra usually. It's on top of 18mm wbp.



You should be fine as long as the ply is fixed down properly.
