Think we’ll have to put this on the checklist to add to the arsenal. Thank you as always for the awesome informative reviews and helping to teach us for no cost at all!
As installer I recommend if the high traffic area to cover with thinset if not going to be tiled right away, so no damage to the heat coil happens, it's going to get tiles and thinset regardless your not saving much thinset at all in the end, or if your DIY person it also makes using the trowel easier when pre filled.
Nothing like the toilet leaking down the road cause some scholar of the trades installed the radiant too close to the flange and it keeps melting the wax seal.. seen that twice
I read all the comments hoping I would not have to ask. But, what if doing a remodel of just the restroom and you don't any means or methods to run a dedicated circuit? Can you tie into a 110V outlet that "probably" shares a breaker with 10 other outlets?
What about adding a family room to a core floor home. Is Dita Heating ok to use for floor heat vs tube in concrete with a boiler heat system? Family room size 10x28
Igor Kosterin check out this last project I did: www.aconcordcarpenter.com/wood-floors-and-electric-radiant-heat.html Scroll down for video. I’ll have to ask if this is doable with DItra
Where I live in British Columbia, the building code is 1.5" thickness for a subfloor for tile. Two sheets (layers) of rough both sides 3/4 " thick fir plywood.
Hi Rob. I have found from a few installations that Schluter is not very informative on their electrical wiring needs. When using their 220V kits, do you find their neutral-less 20A is sufficient. The last install, my flooring supplier checked for me to confirm, and it was a 12/2 on a double pole or tandem single pole breaker. I installed a 12/3 anyway just to,have the additional conductor. Is this your experience? Thanks for the video. I always enjoy your channel and find your content useful!
Do you recommend a plastic notched trowel to avoid potential damage when putting down thinset for tile? Or is the cable embedded low enough in the Ditra mat to alleviate this concern?
Hey Rob, have an offer accepted on my first house purchase. I am re-doing the master bathroom would you recommend this system? the reviews on lowes website are abysmal. Are there other systems you have used that are better. Thank you.

Thank you for a very concise video that covers the entire installation process. Well done.

Marc Favell my tile installer says the same thing as well
Schluter recommends against that. They say it’s best to do it all in one shot.
You really portray thing properly and thoroughly, and that's why this is a great site!!
Great video! Lots of critical information. Thank You!!!!
After watching your video and one other, I'm going to put this system in 4 out or my 5 bathrooms. Thanks!!
I just put this in mine. I installed it myself. Definitely doing it in the next bathroom remodel too
Pat John cost?

Not advised
Excellent video 👍👍👍
Can I put the heating cables under a cast iron clawfoot tub?
Awesome video
I wish more tradesmen were like you where I felt they actually give a shit and are educated.
Jack thx brother much appreciated. I like this, but if we’re easy everyone would do it. It’s time consuming
Very helpful, thank you for the great information
Glad it was helpful!
Did you thin set down the system right to the plywood? Thanks for the video!
@@JoeMurphy-x2d yes
Love your Videos! Very Informative! Thank You!
Evan Epp thx brother
Thanks, very informative.
Build yourself a small, simple spool stand so the cable comes off easily without coiling up on you.
Thank you bro.❤
What about adding a family room to a core floor home. Is Dita Heating ok to use for floor heat vs tube in concrete with a boiler heat system? Family room size 10x28
boiler system more expensive to install but cheaper to run, i’d try to figure out the payoff period and ROI
Can you use this with wood or laminate flooring and would you need to do a thin set layer on top if you go this route

Scroll down for video.
I’ll have to ask if this is doable with DItra
Terrific video information. How thick does the subfloor need to be in order to use the Ditra underlayment with heat system?
Where I live in British Columbia, the building code is 1.5" thickness for a subfloor for tile. Two sheets (layers) of rough both sides 3/4 " thick fir plywood.
Thank you !!!
Hi does the Mat have insulation properties or do you have to use warmup boards or any insulation for that matter underneath ? Thank you
zuluula maybe a lil but it’s not designed for that, DItra has a mat that has a thermal break that they recommend for cold floors, concrete, etc
@@ConcordCarpenter I have timber flooring would dirt be enough to heat it up quickly ?
Good video thanks

I accidentaly cut my wire while installing. Is there a way to salvage it without paying $1000 for a new one
@@moemuhammed9897 yes there are spice / repair kits
Is a great video thanks. Could tolk some time about cosas? Thanks
Costs
About what?
Do you recommend a plastic notched trowel to avoid potential damage when putting down thinset for tile? Or is the cable embedded low enough in the Ditra mat to alleviate this concern?
Manuf does but most pros do a coat over the wired with the flat end the use the notched with the tile
@@ConcordCarpenter thank you for your reply. I’m far from a tile pro. So just to be safe I think I will use a plastic notched trowel over the wire.
Looks easy enough for a DIY... How does it compare to using pex for liquid heat/cool floors?
Scott Landry so much easier
Good video
