Ditra Heat Kit: amzn.to/3ACdmLF
This week, I installed a heated floor in the bathroom. I had never installed a heated floor before and I was definitely a bit nervous, but the Schluter Ditra Heat system made it a lot easier! The kit comes with everything you'll need all in one package. Check out the video to see just how easy this project is!

Excellent video. We are filming a 123 year old house renovation. We plan on installing heated floors in the bathroom, also. This video has great information. Thanks.

I watched the whole video and I would have normally skipped the part about wiring the tstat and feeding power. You quickly said I’ll hire an electrician to do that and I was like perfect no need to fast forward that part. I’m a licensed electrician and have done that part many times but I’ve never actually laid the flooring myself, so great video.

Great videos! It's giving me confidence for our own reno coming up. How did you pitch the tiles in the window and nook? Simply additional mortar or was something placed under it?
@GoldenKeyDesign
@GoldenKeyDesign Жыл бұрын
Thank you! In this case I just added a bit of extra mortar under the tile to pitch it in toward the shower. But you can also pitch the surface the tile is being applied to when you do the water proofing so you don’t have to add any extra mortar when setting your tile. Hope that helps!

@Golden Key Design TY for this response back. I was hoping it would help to heat the bathroom as well. Bummer. I wonder if there's a radiant floor system that would help to also bring ambient heat up into the air as well. I'll have to research. Thanks again for your responses back and congrats again on the great job. 👍

When you do heated floors, you shouldn't use them for the first month they're installed. Even though the mortar sets in a day or so, it doesn't fully cure for heating purposes for about a month. Yeah, it's cured for room temperature in a day, though. If you use the heater before the cure is fully done, your tiles will start to split in about a year because your mortar bed has gone bad.

@GoldenKeyDesign
@GoldenKeyDesign Жыл бұрын
The ditra mat is about 1/4”, mortar is another 1/4”, and the tile depends but mine was also another 1/4” so the total is 3/4” tall which is usually the same height as most hardwood floors. Hope that helps!

The dude who put our under floor heating down in the bathroom forgot to secure the toilet pan to the floor and it now wobbles around. I am about to drill through the tiles to secure the toilet pan but I'm worried about getting a shock. What do you suggest? I have heard about strong glue too secure the pan to the tiles which would eliminate the need to drill however I would imagine this is only a temporary solution.
@GoldenKeyDesign
@GoldenKeyDesign Жыл бұрын
You are supposed to stay at least 8 inches away from the toilet flange with the heating cable to not accidentally melt the wax ring. So if installed correctly, there shouldn’t be any heating cable where you need to drill. But if you want to be safe, the glue should also work. Hope that helps!

Wow, you got a good eye! It's hard to tell in the sped up video, but I back buttered the tile to account for the lack of mortar on the ditra. Also, this is under the floating vanity so no one will probably ever step on it but even if they did, it would hold up just fine
