Floor Warming System Provides Sound Control and Thermal Break

Ditra-Heat-Duo, formerly Ditra-Heat-TB, reduces sound transmission, in addition to warming the floor and still supporting the covering to ensure a lasting installation. ASTM E2179 testing shows Ditra-Heat-Duo produces an increase in impact insulation class (ΔIIC) of 20 to a concrete slab floor. The dual benefits of reducing impact sound transmission and providing faster warm-up times make this membrane an ideal solution for ceramic and stone tile floor installations in multi-story residential construction.

Schluter Ditra-Heat-Duo has an integrated thermal break and sound control. The relatively thin thermal break on the underside of the membrane allows the system to warm tiled directing heat to the tile, not to the subfloor. The all-in-one system means faster and simpler installation as the membrane, heating cables, thermal break and sound control material are all combined in a single layer.
