Ditra Plywood Floor Leveler

When i pulled up the contractor grade sheet flooring the leveling material came away in patches.

Ditra plywood floor leveler.

What do ya think. 3 8 cm thick in one pour and seeks its own level in minutes. First time floor diy i would like to install porcelain stone or thin brick on my 1955 kitchen and hall floor. It is 6 x7 and the floor slopes a quarter inch over the 6 width.

My bathroom floor needs some floor leveler well a lot of leveler. Floor joists are 1 75 x 9 16 oc longest support span is about 12 feet. Wood floors interior ceramic or porcelain tile 5 19 2 488 mm o c. An underlayment is a thin layer of material sandwiched between two other materials.

The subfloor is 5 8 t g plywood joists 2x12 on 12 centers. The subfloor is 3 4 x 7 tongue and groove plank with some knots set on the diagonal. I plan to use the thinner ditra uncoupling membrane. We recommend unmodified thin set mortar on a floor that has been leveled with a self leveling product.

I don t think i can redo the subfloor. If i use a self leveler on my plywood subfloor which type of thin set mortar do i used to install schluter ditra or ditra xl. The peel n stick tile i put down cracked within a year. Joist spacing single layer osb or plywood subfloor d w19 t 20 ceramic or porcelain tile schluter set schluter all set schluter fast set or unmodified thin set mortar.

It s used to help insulate absorb sound and reduce wear on your floor. So i removed it all to the plywood. Can i use a self leveling product under ditra. This quick setting underlayment can be applied to 1 5 in.

Any leveling of the subfloor must be done prior to the installation of the membrane. My question is can i install the ditra over the floor leveler or do i put down another layer of plywood 1 4 first. You might get lucky on the vertical depending on where it happened on the sheet and where the tile lined up but that s just a coincidence not a guarantee. Unlike faye above i know my subfloor is not level.

Ditra helps with horizontal movement but does nothing for vertical movement which is why your floor needs to be up to snuff before installation.
