Fixing instructions for Porcelain Tiles on to Suspended Timber Floor
with Electric wire under floor heating
1 Ensure that Joists, floor boards, Waterproof ply, Tongue and grove etc are stable without excessive
movement, screwed down, dust free and dry.
2 Cut Ditra matting to fit area then fix using Ditra Adhesive. Ensure sheets are overlapped and a
kerdi matting skirting is used if the area is to be water proof.
3 Apply single part rapid flex white adhesive to the Ditra matting to create a level screed 2mm above
the Ditra matting. Allow to dry
4 Fix the under floor heating as per manufacturers instructions & test. Ensure that none of the heating
elements are in contact with matting.
5 Fix the Tiles with a minimum 2 mm joint using single part rapid flex white adhesive using a notched
trowel to create a 4 mm bed again ensure that none of the heating elements are in contact with the tile.
Allow to dry
6 Grout using a flexible floor grout
7 Clean and set up a regular maintenance programme.
8 Do not switch on the under floor heating on for at least 2 weeks and then only increase the
temperature above room temperature by 2 degree increments per day until the desired temperature has
been achieved.
Fixing instructions for Suspended timber floors or floors where there is a mix of substrates,
cracked old screed, green screed or water pipe underfloor heating systems
As above omit points 3 & 4 ie creating a screed etc, apply adhesive to the matting using a notched
trowel and fix tile immediately to create a 3 mm bed above the matting. Follow points 6,7,8 & 9.
Many fixers prefer fix porcelain to a tile backer board or a minimum of 18 mm of water proof plywood
which is fine, although we do recommend the use of Ditra matting.
Fixing instructions for Screeded Floors with/without under floor heating
As above omit points1,2,3 & 4 i.e. creating a screed etc. apply adhesive direct to a primed screed
using a notched trowel and fix tile immediately to create a 3 mm bed. Follow points 6,7 & 8
N.B. New Screeds should dry out or cure before tiles can be laid; industry recommendation is 25 mm
per week, otherwise use ditra matting as above.
