Thinset For Porcelain Tile Over Ditra

I hope to use the allset thin set there if i can find it locally.

Thinset for porcelain tile over ditra. Sloppy squeeze out will kill your layout lines. Some modified thin sets will require a greatly extended drying time. Thinset for laying porcelain tile on ditra with your tile size and layout i d use an unmodified. Dampen the ditra is approved for use with ceramic porcelain and natural stone tile.

Plan on going slowly very slowly. Keep the edges of the tile clean. In general we don t recommend the use of modified thin set mortar to set tile over the membranes because these mortars must air dry to cure properly. It can be installed over a variety of substrates including plywood osb existing vinyl structural planks and concrete.

Which it sounds like i might need 3 different thin sets if the glass subways need different thin set. From lowes use laticrete s megabond equivalent to 317 thinset from home depot use their custom blend. Schluter has tested their modified thin set to make sure it works properly and will dry within a reasonable amount of time. It is important to use a very good quality polymer modified thinset to install the ditra on the sub floor.

Same with lippage take your time on your first few tiles to minimize lippage. I recommend you use unmodified for porcelain tiles over ditra on the floor. Some modified thin sets will dry properly between ditra and porcelain tile but not all will. Tile is bought no turning back there.

I also will be tiling the bathroom floor with a 6 24 porcelain over shuluter ditra. Suggestions on thin set would be appreciated.
