SUBSCRIBE Learn how to tile the right way
Schluter Ditra is installed on the plywood sub floor with a polymer modified thinset, using an 11/64" square notched trowel. First the plywood is dampened with a sponge and water, then the flat side of the Ditra trowel is used to spread the thinset onto the ply wood to key it in, then the notched side of the trowel is used. The Ditra is then placed on the thinset and smoothed with a wooden trowel. The tile is then set on the ditra using a ½" square notched trowel. All the tiles are back buttered before setting the tile into the combed thinset on the ditra. Finally the tile is grouted.

Your videos have caused my dad & I both to start planning our first bathroom tile projects. Both with their own challenges. He's a good bit more educated than myself as of now but with the amount of information you have avalable, there is no question that we will both succeed.
Thanks!

Excellent video. I'm getting ready to put down 120 sq. ft. of porcelain floor tile over a plywood sub-floor in my kitchen. Thanks for all the good advice.

As always great content. Do not know what I enjoy most: the art of great prep work - or how skilled you are at using those knee pads. Lol. Mr DiBlasi I hope you never miss place them -breaking in a new pair must be a skill in itself.

Your videos are a treasure for educating and promoting pride in a job well done. 👍

A contractor I know actually uses a paint roller to lay Ditra down. Saves your back, knees and time. Wets it with a spray bottle and then pours the thinset on the floor and rolls it out, then tapers the seams using the Ditra trowel

Im glad sal is showing the world how to tile. Alot of customers shit on contractors for not going fast or because its too expensive. Materials matter. Time matters. Tools matter. Tile guys need to plan ahead. Measure. Check the condition of the floor. Do repairs. Shucks, even do some framing and electrical work for a tile guy to get it done right the first time. You dont know what i have seen in showers and floors. We deal with rotten wood. Bad construction. Mold. Old plumbing and most of the time a cheap job because the customer does not want to pay.

Heres my message for customers. FOR TILE. Warranty pays in the long run. If you want your tile for a short time... Theres cheap alternatives but it STILL COST MONEY. Overall for tile to stay impeccable for 20+ years...its not done on only tile and thinset. Theres more than just a tile guy. Theres framing. Pest control(termite. Wood ant. Etc). Plumbing. Sanitation. Moisture control/waterproofing. And the list goes on. Next time you want to save a buck for tile. remember: you might end up paying more.

Can install travertine on a manufactured home?
Subfloor+ ditra+ travertine?

Travertine Is to heavy for a manufactured home or modular home?
Ditra is ok on subfloor? Or have to install one more layer of plywood?
If need layer of plywood...? Do i need ditra after that?
