Product Details
About This Product
The DH512M is an uncoupling and waterproofing membrane designed to secure Ditra-Heat heating cable in place. Ditra-Heat provides uncoupling to neutralize shear stresses between the substrate and the tile covering to prevent cracked tile and grout. The cut-back stud structure of the Ditra-Heat membrane holds the heating cable in place without the use of clips or fasteners. It also eliminates the need for a self-leveling compound which minimizes the assembly thickness and allows for quicker installation.

Questions & Answers
Which thermostat need to be purchased for this?
You can use any of the thermostat models we offer, for more help selecting an option that works for your needs please call us at 1-800-472-4588.
Can this product be installed in a bedroom and the existing carpet be placed on top of it? As well as the bedroom furniture?
The Ditra-Heat System is not designed to be used with carpet.
How do you properly secure sections of the membrane together?
I would suggest that you call Schluter Systems’ customer support line at 1-800-472-4588 to discuss a solution in greater detail.
The "seams" where two section come together do not need securing as the thinset will adhere to the fleece backing and will hold them seams together. CAVEAT: If installing in a wet room, apply 5" Schluter Kerdi Band Waterproofing Strip over the seams.

Yes, the Ditra Heat system can be installed over a 1,000 SQFT. For more detailed information please feel free to call us at 1-800-472-4588.

is this good for restaurants where there are carts and other heavy stuff rolling on? would this be spongy and break the tiles ?
It is very difficult to answer a question like this without more details. I would suggest that you call Schluter Systems’ customer support line at 1-800-472-4588 to discuss a solution in greater detail.
Can I install this in a kitchen directly on top of plywood subfloor, or do I need to put a layer of Hardi Board/concrete board down first? This will be in a manufactured home that currently has vinyl. I am going to install under porcelain tile. Thank you
Yes, this can be installed over a plywood subfloor. The uncoupling membrane acts as a separation between subfloor movement and the tile, so that the expansion and contraction of the plywood is not transferred to the tile causing cracking.
Yes, the Ditra-Heat membrane can be installed to a plywood subfloor. Here is a copy of our Ditra Heat Installation Handbook, this will go over the requirements for the joist spacing in your home. Also please feel free to call us to discuss a solution in greater detail, 1-800-472-4588.
