## Overview

The Schluter-Ditra XL 5/16" Underlayment is a 7mm thick polyethylene membrane designed to uncouple tile from substrates, preventing cracking and moisture damage. Compatible with multiple surfaces including heated floors, it features a unique load-distributing structure and quick-installation aids, making it ideal for professional-grade ceramic and stone tile projects in high-traffic interior spaces.

## Description

Elevate the durability and integrity of your tile installations with the Schluter Ditra-XL Uncoupling and Waterproofing Membrane. Specifically engineered for ceramic and stone tile applications, this membrane offers a revolutionary polyethylene construction that ensures both uncoupling and waterproofing. It stops the common issues of cracked tiles and grout by absorbing the differential movement stresses between the tile layer and the substrate beneath. Additionally, its vapor management capability allows excess moisture to escape. The membrane's column-like mortar structure within the grid cavities promotes excellent load distribution, making it ideal for areas subjected to heavy foot traffic or weight. At only 7mm (5/16") thick, it provides a minimal assembly height, reducing transitions to other surface coverings. This product is exclusively for interior use, providing a reliable and effective solution for both dry and wet areas. Founded over 40 years ago by a master tile setter, Schluter Systems pioneered innovative tile and bathroom waterproofing solutions, consistently setting industry benchmarks for quality and durability.

## Features

- Tile Cracking Prevention - Provides an effective uncoupling layer to neutralize stress between the substrate and tiles, preventing cracking and delamination in ceramic and stone tile installations.
- Multi-Surface Compatibility - Suitable for various substrates including concrete, plywood, OSB, and gypsum, and compatible with heated floors. Easy to install with thin-set mortar.
- Moisture Barrier - Made of polyethylene, this membrane protects moisture-sensitive substrates like plywood and OSB, ensuring a durable surface.
- Sturdy Foundation for Tiles - Features a unique structure that supports and distributes heavy loads evenly, suitable for high traffic areas and heavy furniture.
- Quick Installation - Comes with cutting grooves for precise adjustments and air release vents for quicker adhesive setting, facilitating easier and faster tile installation.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Can Schluter-DITRA be used as a sound control membrane?**
A: DITRA isn't a sound barrier but offers some sound attenuation. On a 6" concrete slab, it raised the IIC rating from 28 to 38, which doesn't meet typical codes. Additional sound measures, like underlayment and sound-rated ceilings, are required.

**Q: Is it required to waterproof Schluter-DITRA and Schluter-DITRA-XL?**
A: Waterproofing isn't required but prevents damage to moisture-sensitive materials. DITRA and DITRA-XL are easy to waterproof by sealing seams and connections with KERDI-BAND and thin-set mortar.

**Q: Can I use self-leveling compounds over Schluter-DITRA or Schluter-DITRA-XL?**
A: DITRA and DITRA-XL were designed and tested for thin-bed ceramic tile and natural stone applications. Any leveling of the subfloor must be done prior to the installation of the membrane.
