uncoupling
An uncoupler or uncoupling agent is a molecule that disrupts oxidative phosphorylation in prokaryotes and mitochondria or photophosphorylation in chloroplasts and cyanobacteria by dissociating the reactions of ATP synthesis from the electron transport chain. The result is that the cell or mitochondrion expends energy to generate a proton motive force, but the proton motive force is dissipated before the ATP synthase can recapture this energy and use it to make ATP. Uncouplers are capable of transporting protons through mitochondrial and lipid membranes.
Suitable for uncoupling sound and problematic substrates. It allows subsequent coverings to function as independent layers in relation with the substrate. It can be placed on walls or floors in a variety of substrates such as concrete, cement mortars, old layers of tiles, mosaics, masonry etc...

I have used uncoupling mats before, but not extensively. It's only maybe the last 18 month or 2 years that my local tile shop has stocked them.

Hi guys, have not got round to tiling the bathroom and kitchen floor and was wondering how high the finished tile height will be once completed? Tiles are 9mm thick and I will be using the Schluter Ditra as recommended.

Is that tiling job still down?
Was it the first of its kind?

41 msq Porcelain, over water fed in screed ufh, I told the customer it will need a uncoupling mat, but they have asked me to go ahead without it, will it be ok, or should I refuse the job. Any advice will be appreciated.
Evening All.
Couple of photos as know there appreciated.
Looked at different rollers in the UK market to speed up laying Ditra and also to reduce the strains on my knees.
