schluter ditra or any decoupling membrane,do u still need flexi adhesive?

[jona]

after overboarding t&g with 18mm ply then applying schluter ditra,does the adhesive have tp be flexi? even though the decoupler allows for movement? also other than ditra where can i find info on other tanking products?...cheers!

[jona]

ps....i mean the adhesive for fixing the tiles onto the ditra..

[Dave]

You use an adhesive that us suitable for the substrate etc... Ditra is for lateral movement and not deflection.

[jona]

so would that be a flexi adhesive? lateral is side to side ami right? and deflection isnt?...lol.sorry cnt grasp this idea

[Dave]

If onto timber then yes flexible... lateral is side to side stress and deflection is bounce.. so yes up and down....
