Schlüter DITRA 25

Schlüter^®-DITRA 25 is a polyethylene membrane with a grid structure of square cavities, each cut back in a dovetail configuration and an anchoring fleece laminated to its underside. Designed for tile and natural stone installations, Schlüter^®-DITRA 25 serves as a waterproofing membrane, a vapour pressure equalisation layer to accommodate construction moisture occurring within the substrate and an uncoupling layer for problematic substrates.

The substrate must be even and load bearing. To bond Schlüter^®-DITRA 25, use a bonding adhesive that is appropriate for the substrate. Apply the adhesive using a 3 x 3 mm or 4 x 4 mm notched trowel. The anchoring fleece on the underside of Schlüter^®-DITRA 25 must be fully engaged in the adhesive to provide a mechanical bond to the substrate. Please observe the open time of the bonding adhesive.

Using the thin-bed method and following all applicable industry standards, set the tile or stone covering directly on the Schlüter^®– DITRA 25 in such a way that the tile adhesive becomes mechanically anchored in the square, cut back cavities of the Schlüter^®– DITRA 25 matting.

Schlüter DITRA 25 – Summary of functions 

a) Uncoupling
Schlüter^®-DITRA 25 uncouples the floor covering from the substrate and neutralises the tensions between the substrate and the tile covering that result from the varying deformations of the materials. Likewise, stress cracks in the substrate are bridged and are, therefore, not transferred to the surface covering.

b) Waterproofing
Schlüter^®-DITRA 25 is a waterproof polyethylene membrane with a relatively high vapour diffusion density. Provided the mat joints and the connections to walls and built-in elements are properly installed, Schlüter^®-DITRA 25 can be used to create a certified bonded waterproofing assembly with the tile covering. Schlüter^®-DITRA 25 features the national technical approval (abP) required in Germany and bears the Ü mark. Moisture exposure class according to abP: 0 – B0 as well as A and C.
Schlüter^®-DITRA 25 has the required European Technical Assessment (ETA) as specified in ETAG 022 (bonded waterproofing assemblies) and bears CE marking.
Exclusively use system-approved thin-bed adhesives for areas that require CE conformity or compliance with the general certificate of national technical approval (abP). Please contact us at the address shown in this data sheet for further information about suitable thin-bed adhesives and the corresponding test certificates.
Therefore, Schlüter^®-DITRA 25 protects the substrate against damage due to moisture penetration and aggressive substances.
