Following on from the hugely successful and award-winning, Schlüter®-DITRA-HEAT-E electric underfloor and wall heating solution seemed an impossible task for Schlüter-Systems, however, the popular system recently saw the introduction of a new uncoupling mat, Schlüter®-DITRA-HEAT-TB, which has taken the product range from strength to strength.
The patented Schlüter®-DITRA-HEAT-TB features the integration of a thermal break fleece on the underside of the uncoupling membrane which allows 80% of the heat to rise to the surface for up to 70% faster response time.
A thermal break is an element within an assembly which reduces the flow of thermal energy between conductive materials. The thermal break in Schlüter®-DITRA-HEAT-TB ensures that the heat doesn’t get lost, but is transferred directly to the floor covering above.
Schlüter®-DITRA-HEAT is part of the Schlüter®-DITRA family of mattings that feature uncoupling, crack-bridging, vapour management, load distribution, drainage and sound-reduction properties, which relieve stresses that occur between the substrate and covering to manage movement and prevent cracking and debonding of the tile or stone covering.
The quick installation makes it ideal for heated tile and stone coverings for both residential and commercial projects and naturally, the use is not limited to kitchens and bathrooms, floor and wall heating enhances the room climate of living, dining, and working spaces too.
