If vapour management isn't required then tilemasters mat is excellent imo. I've not used another mat which gives me as much faith in performance.

Ditra mat. What do people think ? Its been around a long time. Some of you were not even tile
when it came out. Is it better than the rest? Is it a good price? Is it any good ?I have put this on the other page

Why the question Simon?

One Day

I visited dural recently and they were brilliant. Acknowledged the issues early on but looking at the stuff now, as well as the quality of their bespoke manufacturing and service, I am starting to use them a lot more.
 
Q

Qwerty

I wasn’t trying to be clever Geoff, it was a serious question.
How would you define a failure with Ditra?

Substrate lateral movement transferring through the ditra and causing tiles to crack, build up of vapour below the ditra. Basically anything that is the opposite of what ditra is capable of achieving.


but is that down to fixer error or the mat?

I suspect no tiler will admit they didn't follow instructions.

Then its down to the mat

But that’s where I’m going with my question.
Unless the mat physically breaks down, how do you prove it’s the mat?

I’ve lifted tiles off ditra/Dural and imo they come up too easy off the plastic (fully bedded and back buttered and licked by the customers cat)
Try lifting one off tm, it’s stuck right good, and imo it needs to be stuck right good and not like it is to the plastic.
Tm is the dogs danglies
