Dural v Ditra

[Feeney]

Hi, fairly new on here and going with advice to use a decoupling membrane before tiling my kitchen. I was looking for the best price on ditra matting when I came across another German manufactured product called 'Dural' which purports to be the exact same thing only made by another manufacturer and coloured yellow instead of orange. There is a fair price difference between the two so just wondering if there is any good reason not to go with the cheaper brand?

Dural is really good stuff don't let the fact it's cheaper make you think it's lesser quality than Shluter Ditra matting.

Dural does not have the hollow squares that you have to fill in good stuff mate

It is not manufactured in Germany anymore... it's Swedish now.

No squares no... just circles and clover leafs..
