The stud structure of ditra heat is specifically designed to allow for the easy installation of ditra heat e hk heating cables.
Thickness ditra matting.
Schlüter ditra 25 is a polyethylene mat with square dovetailed recesses and an anchoring fleece laminated to the underside.
Thus ditra effectively manages moisture beneath the tile.
This is probably the most impractical of these three options.
Ditra matting is only 3 5mm thick providing the thinnest possible assembly without sacrificing performance making it a universal substrate for tile covering.
A word about ditra thickness.
So it looks like i ve got 3 4 in which i need to fit the ditra tile and thinset.
The thickness of the tile assembly is minimized by using ditra which is only 1 8 in.
Subtracting the tile and ditra thickness leaves me with 3 8 left for thinset.
X 3 mm felt cushion underlayment roll for engineered wood and laminate flooring.
Nominal 1 4 5 5 mm thickness minimizes tile assembly thickness and reduces transitions to lower surface coverings.
For the builder to finish 30 to 45 mm low is a bit ott to make up with adhesive and tiles.
Ditra is 3mm thick and goes on probs 1mm adhesive bed.
If you still want to use 1 8 inch thick ditra in the non heated section then you could transition with just a tile.
The minimum height that my new dishwasher can be adjusted to is 33 3 4 and the cabinet height is 34 1 2.
The free space provides a route for excess moisture and vapor to escape from the substrate that could otherwise cause damage to the tile layer above.
Ditra xl is the same thickness and is probably a little bit less expensive than ditra heat duo running regular ditra heat mat not duo in the non heated section.
From what i understand ditra is about 1 8 thick.
And then tiles will bed on a solid bed of say 3mm to 4mm as long as the screed is flat there is no need to build up any higher.
Self leveling compounds are not required to encapsulate the cables into the membrane.

In conjunction with tiled coverings schlüter ditra 25 forms an uncoupling waterproofing and vapour pressure equalisation layer.
The distinguishing feature of ditra is the existence of free space created by the configured channels on the underside of the matting.
In addition ditra underfloor matting also serves as a water vapour pressure.
Ditra matting and tile help the unmodified thin set retain more of its moisture as it cures and this creates a stronger bond than modified thin set can achieve.
