    What size notch trowel for installation
    ByJun 18, 2026
    1 Answer | 
    Answer This Question

    Using a thin-set mortar that is suitable for the substrate, apply the thin-set mortar (mixed to a fairly fluid consistency, but still able to hold a notch). For DITRA use a 1/4" x 3/16" (6 mm x 5 mm) V-notched trowel, 5/16" x 5/16" (8 mm x 8 mm) V-notched trowel, or the DITRA trowel, which features a 11/64" x 11/64" (4.5 mm x 4.5 mm) square-notched design. For DITRA-XL use a 1/4" x 1/4" (6 mm x 6 mm) square-notched trowel or the DITRA-XL trowel, which features a 1/4" x 1/4" (6 mm x 6 mm) square-notched design.

              Question is if i need to recess the shower floor pan or not. Adjoining bedroom floor is 3/4" higher (oak hardwood) than the bathroom floor (osb). Assuming i would use schluter membrane + ceramic tile for flooring, do i need to recess the pan?

                  We put a roll of Schluter Ditra in a mudroom and a small laundry space, both with 12" x 24" tiles, in order to prevent cracking. The tile went down smoothly on top of it and we have the peace of mind that our investment will be protected.

                  Use of membrane made the tile install a longer project and requires double the thinset, but if it means preventing tile from cracking, it will all be worth it.

                  Used the membrane to install large format tile (16x32) and got satisfactory results. Pros: - Lower thickness - Easy handling and cutting to size. Cons: - As opposed to cement boards, does not give you even surface to mount tile on, which is especially frustrating for large format tiles. - As opposed to cement boards, does not give additional stiffness to the plywood subfloor. - Long mortar drying time because the membrane is water tight. - More difficult pasting of top layer of morgar compared to cement board.

                  The cost is very high but it went down well. Used over a crack in the bathroom slab that had cracked previous tiles. Now we will see if it holds up to the hype.

                  Easy to install, measure out, and cut around plumbing. I wish I had taken more time after everything was laid out, to ensure the mortar was completely level. Some higher spots we just had to deal with when we started the tiling process.

                  This product performs as advertised. It makes a good uncoupling membrane, easy to install. I put it on a plywood subfloor. Be sure and follow instruction as to what type thinset you use, with wood subfloor you use modified on floor, then unmodified thinset to set tile.

                  Michigan weather torture-test proven! We installed Ditra on our concrete slab of a front porch in July of 2017 as a base for tiling. Our pipe-dream was that the tile would not crack or dis-bond during the deep-freeze of Michigan's 6-months of winter. If you're not familiar with Michigan weather, it has the most-extreme temperature swings of any place on the planet; sub-zero in the winter, approaching 100 degrees F on some days in the summer. Our tile has survived the worst that Michigan weather can bring and there has not been a single issue. No cracked grout, no cracked tiles. I am impressed. Follow the instructions as I did, and this product will live up to the claims.

                    Fairly straight forward to use and very easy to maneuver and install. Follow the directions. Biggest miss for us was mortar curling up along the edges. Needs to be flat thought and through
