WHAT is this, and WHY do you want it under your floors?

[MrBugs]

If you've not used Ditra or an uncoupling membrane before don't try and lay tiles the same day. Use Rapid Set adhesive to fix the ditra to the floor and always leave it overnight. Tat way if you have to lift a tile you won't pull the mat up with it :)

Your character, wisdom, and presentation is the best I've witnessed in a long time. You deserve the best!!!

im a Registered Nurse, dont know how i got here but it was very INFORMATIVE

[JB-uhdg]

Be warned, this stuff SIGNIFICANTLY increased mortar cure time for me (concrete slab, with large sized tiles), it doesn’t allow the moisture to leech and evaporate the same way backer board does. It was three days before I could put weight on the tiles to grout. I still like the low profile and ease of install—just plan your job accordingly.

My mom mentioned this to me yesterday, I had no idea what she was talking about. YouTube recommends this 1 year old video... They are always listening.

Nice job! Very informative. My husband suggested I view this since he is interested in using ICF for our new house construction. I liked the way you; broke down terms and made everything easy to understand. Your Pros and Cons were very helpful, since I too, had concerns about some of the issues you elaborated on.

[elwelldavid]

Wow! Absolutely brilliant. Provides answers to a whole array of issues I have with kitchen, bathroom and other indoor tiled areas of the house. Very informative. Thanks for sharing.

I have specified this product for many years and it has never failed. I first used it 20 years ago in two office block foyers where the contractor had laid tiles direct on the concrete floor that had subsequently cracked along joint lines in the substrate below. The installation allowed the contractor to retile the floor as originally specified that was now fully reliable and without having to rebuild the foyer floors to cure inherent problems. I have since spec'd this below all wet tile areas and in location where the substrate was variable, irrespective of where a finishing screed was laid on top. I have had no reported tile failures of any sort.

I used the Kerdi shower system with the square drain and fleece to build my shower system 8 years ago and its working perfect. I hired out the tile work and the guy loved working around the square drain instead of the round ones most people us. If I did it again I would for sure add heat to the shower floor and the bathroom floor. Its a great system.

16years ago I put this product down along with a floor heating electric system in my house built in 1936. My tile has not cracked, moved and none of the grout has cracked. It stiffened the subfloor greatly but also allows the structure to move without damage to the floorI love Schluter my brother is a kitchen and bath designer and that'll those guys use for decades. Great product super easy to work with and super light THAT WORKS!!!

[thezirons]

I used this on our bathroom remodel project a few years ago. What a great product! I will always use this for tile work moving forward.

[edwardhoward]

It's also good for heated floors. As an electrician we run our heating conductor in between the squares. It holds the conductor very well

[SrgtSnipes]

Matt, I am actually doing my own shower remodel as well as the entire master bathroom. I'll be using Schluter's Kerdi system at least for the shower, which I'll be making a custom floor pan with Kerdi's drain as well. From what I've researched it is going to be a great option for our remodel. I'll try to get some photos and maybe a video of the remodel as we progress if your interested. Great product in my opinion. Your videos have definitely made me think more about the products I use in my DIY projects as well as what I'll be using should we decide to build our next home.

[dimentbarg]

Thank you. This is exactly what I wanted to know at 4am

[patrickmckowen]

As part-time handyman and I have done a couple showers for others now using Schulter and was very happy with it. Now doing a whole master washroom reno for my wife and feeling confident using this product to tile over the wood floor.
Cheers

Dude, I love your ending sign-off almost as much as your content 😄. Thanks for what your do!!

[agrarianelectrictractorco.]

Did my master bath, with walk in shower (no curb) 7 years ago. With ditra, and kirdi awesome products. Their shower kits and drain assemblies are very well designed, be available here in Ontario Canada for over a decade, Mike Holmes has featured it on almost every build since it came available in north America

[brasshouse]

I’m a plumber in Dallas and I would love to do work for this man. He is all about the highest quality. I would love a chance to work for a residential contractor that has those standards. Most contractors have no interest in quality. They only want cheap. That’s why I quit the residential world and went the mechanical/industrial route where quality is still valued. He does amazing work.

[beinspired]

I have used this product a few years ago out of interest, but now see how it can really be applied. Thank you for the video I now know what else I need to look out for.

[kellypyatt]

Thank you Sal. I am a professional who has been taught wrong. You have been amazing helping my understanding and quality.
